Software Development Review from Claus-Peter Mueller
We have engaged Infinum to develop an app that would digitalise our leasing process. From creating the initial offer through the necessary financing application and client identification to the final signature – all the steps required to successfully lease a vehicle or other object can be performed in-app, freeing the users of friction and having to deal with tedious paperwork.The app itself in the background has 30+ integrations, while keeping a seamless and quick to follow process on the front for our users. That application is in production and Infinum is responsible for maintaining it and further improving. After the initial development, we have additionally expanded our scope from vehicles to other equipment. They have also developed a Leasing widget, product which enables quick financing model while purchasing a vehicle online on car seller marketplace pages. At this moment, we are still in partnership with Infinum, and their engagement is mainly focused on localising the app to other countries and supporting us in our further business expansion. The work performed was done in Ruby on Rails and React technology, with support of other services.
Web Design Review from Anonymous
Thanks to Infinum's website refresh, the client has seen an almost 100% improvement in their website's conversion rates. The team excels at project management, using the client's own proprietary tool and also Figma very well. Their proficiency in design, delivery, and client relations stands out.

We decided to create an Online shop for selling medicines. So we started with negotiations of the concept and the collection of the requirements. Then team provided us with the technical description of the store and a few mockups of it. After approving everything they start creating a solution.I think that we're about 10-12 people in the team who worked with us. We launched shop and receiving profit from it, I think that's the best outcome.

Shopify Plus eCommerce Review from Jessica Grant
Bighorn has been an exceptional partner to our organization here at Sports Basement. They supported us through multiple legal and regulatory accessibility matters with a steady, knowledgeable approach, translating complex requirements into clear, actionable guidance. Throughout these engagements, their team demonstrated a strong understanding of both the legal landscape and the practical realities of building and maintaining accessible digital experiences, which gave us confidence at every step.What truly distinguishes them is that their work goes well beyond compliance. In addition to helping us identify and prioritize accessibility issues, they invested time in educating our teams on how to design and develop accessibility into our site from the start. Their recommendations are thoughtful, pragmatic, and focused on real user impact, enabling us to move from a reactive posture to a more proactive, sustainable accessibility practice.Most importantly, they operate as true partners rather than transactional consultants. Their work is clearly driven by a genuine commitment to making the web usable by all, not simply meeting minimum standards or checking a box. We would strongly recommend them to any organization looking for a strategic accessibility partner who combines expertise, integrity, and a long-term perspective.

Web Development Review from Sofia Juan
We recently had the pleasure of working with Small Projects Bureau Development on our new website for Show Kids, a company offering performing arts classes and after school programs for children in NYC. From start to finish, the experience was amazing.The team at Small Projects Bureau Development truly understood our vision and was able to bring it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. Their creativity, attention to detail, and technical expertise resulted in a beautifully designed, user-friendly website that perfectly reflects the essence of Show Kids. The website is not only visually appealing but also functional and easy to navigate, which is crucial for our audience of parents.Throughout the process, they were communicative, responsive, and highly professional. They took the time to understand our specific needs and ensured that every element, from the layout to the content, was aligned with our goals. The final product showcases their commitment to quality and their deep understanding of web development.We couldnt be happier with the outcome, and were excited to share our new online presence with our community in NYC. So much so that we are now working with Small Projects Bureau Development again to create a new website for our upcoming location in Barcelona, Spain. If you're looking for a team that combines creativity with technical skill, we highly recommend Small Projects Bureau Development!Thank you for helping us bring Show Kids to life online, both in NYC and soon in Barcelona!

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Software Development Companies in New York
How do I know if I need a software development agency or an in-house hire?
The decision comes down to what you are building and how long you need to build it.
An in-house hire makes sense when software is a core, ongoing function of the business and will likely require continuous iteration and deeper institutional knowledge. An external hire, on the other hand, makes sense when the timeline is fixed or the technical requirements exceed what a single hire could cover.
If the answer to all these questions is “yes,” then likely a specialized agency is a better fit than an in-house hire:
- Do you need something shipped within a specific window?
- Do you need multiple specializations at once?
- Are you not sure yet about the product direction to justify a permanent headcount commitment?
How much do software development companies in New York charge for their services?
Software development companies in New York typically charge $100 or more per hour, though rates as low as $40 per hour exist depending on the agency's size and specialization. North American agencies more broadly average $70 to $200+ per hour, with New York firms at the higher end of that range, given local market costs.
Here are some factors that drive price variation:
- Seniority mix. An agency billing you lower hourly rates is likely staffing your project with junior or mid-level developers, whereas an agency charging higher fees typically means senior engineers will be hands-on.
- Engagement model. Fixed-price contracts carry a built-in risk premium: agencies charge more upfront to protect against scope shifts. Time-and-materials contracts are priced lower per hour but require active management on your end to prevent overruns.
- Specialization. A software development company in New York that works primarily in fintech, healthcare, or regulated industries will price above a generalist shop.
- Project size. Agencies price smaller engagements higher per hour. A $30,000 project will cost more per hour than a $300,000 one from the same firm.
What hidden costs don't show up in the initial quote?
The quoted number and the final invoice rarely match. Notably, research shows that around 70% of software projects exceed their initial budget, with an average overrun of 27%. The gap usually compounds from several smaller add-ons that were not defined at the start.
The most common “hidden costs” include:
- Scope change fees. Any feature or requirement that was not in the original spec gets billed as a change of order, typically at a higher hourly rate than the base engagement.
- QA and testing. Some software developers in New York include testing in the base scope. Many do not. User acceptance testing, load testing, and security testing are frequently itemized separately.
- Infrastructure and environment setup. Cloud configuration, third-party API integrations, and staging environments often appear as separate line items after the contract is signed.
- Post-launch support. Bug fixes, performance monitoring, and small adjustments after go-live are almost always billed separately unless written into the contract upfront.
The simplest protection from such overruns is to ask for a written breakdown of every category of work that triggers an additional charge before signing anything.
Is a larger software development company in New York safer than a smaller one?
Not by default, and for most buyers, the assumption works against them.
Larger software development companies in New York bring staffing depth, structured processes, and institutional accountability. For enterprise-level builds with complex compliance requirements, multi-region infrastructure, or large concurrent engineering teams, that scale is genuinely necessary.
For most projects, the dynamic tends to invert: your account gets assigned to mid-level engineers, senior oversight is limited, and the relationship becomes transactional once the contract is signed. The senior developer who impressed you in the sales call may not be the one writing your code.
The more useful question is who will lead your project day-to-day. Ask for the name, seniority level, and relevant experience of the lead engineer and project manager assigned to your account before signing.
When does it make sense to switch software development companies mid-project?
Here are some situations that justify switching firms mid-project:
- Consistent missed sprint deliverables with no clear explanation
- Engineers who cannot answer questions about their own architectural decisions
- Billing disputes the agency will not itemize or resolve
- A point of contact who relays information but cannot make decisions
- Code that an independent review has flagged as creating long-term technical debt
If you decide to switch, you will need: full codebase access and documentation, all environment credentials and infrastructure configurations, a list of open bugs and known issues, and any third-party API keys or service accounts tied to the project. Do not assume these will be handed over without being asked for explicitly; make them a condition of the offboarding.
The best window to switch is between major milestones, after a working build has been delivered and before the next phase begins. Switching mid-sprint, or worse, mid-launch, multiplies handoff risk significantly.
