Kevych Solutions Reviews & Testimonials
Vasco Rouw
Founder at Mavelli
5.0★
Mobile App Development Review from Vasco Rouw
Weve been working with Kevych Solutions full-time for over a year, and the experience has been excellent. They handle the complete end-to-end development of our AI-powered mobile apps, including UI/UX, frontend and backend development, AI integrations, infrastructure, deployment, and ongoing support.
What stands out most is the extremely high level of their technical expertise and execution quality. They actively use AI and modern development workflows to maximize efficiency and deliver results quickly. The team is highly responsive, proactive, and always goes the extra mile to meet deadlines.
Since working together, we scaled from 0 to over 100,000 subscribers in just 8 months, and our apps are now generating more than $1M in monthly revenue. Whenever challenges came up, we solved them together efficiently, and Kevych Solutions continuously adapted and grew alongside our projects.
We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, high-level mobile app development partner.

Mobile App Development Review from Lucas Chatham
I had an excellent experience working with this engineering firm to build a React Native app. Oleg and Ihor were exceptional software engineerstheir technical skills were top-notch, and they consistently delivered clean, well-structured code on time.
What really set this team apart was Volodymyr, their CTO. He was incredibly hands-on, maintaining clear and frequent communication throughout the project. He was always responsive and proactive in managing the work, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
The team was professional, reliable, and genuinely committed to quality. They understood my requirements and provided valuable input that improved the final product. Highly recommend this firm for anyone seeking skilled developers and excellent project management!

Mobile App Development Review from George McKerrow
ELEK+RIK has worked on improving our React Native mobile app. We had the skeleton of an app, but they were able to do an end-to-end re-design of each of the main pages. Since then, they`ve successfully implemented around ~20 different features on our mobile app. We share a spec and design, they provide an estimate and occasionally some design options, then when completed create a PR on GitHub. Their code is well-organized, easy to follow, and rarely do we have to go back-and-forth about bugs. They are also excellent communicators - carefully following threads on Slack, effectively communicating design and engineering tradeoffs, and even producing a 10m Loom video walking through a diagram. Their communication is top-notch. They are super easy to work with even though we are on very different time zones. And, I am impressed at the speed and execution of their development.

Web Development Review from John Riley
ELEK+RIK was tasked with creating a website for our company from scratch. They were professional, communicative, and dedicated to delivering an exceptional website that perfectly captured the essence of our company while exceeding our expectations. They are a talented, reliable, and customer-focused web design and development company that I would highly recommend to anyone.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Cause of a Kind for a long time, helping them hire engineers for their projects, and they’ve been an amazing client throughout. They run a great dev shop, friendly, collaborative, and always building high quality work. We always recommend them to our clients who're looking for software agencies bec we know how they work and how they choose their engineers for their most sensitive projects.
I also recently sponsored a few episodes of their podcast Strictly From Nowhere, the content is excellent and Justin came super prepared with smart, insightful questions. Highly recommend them as both partners and creators.
Super friendly and smart guys

Nestor Bernal Vidal's Review Sourced from Google
I strongly recommend COAK if you want to work with something more than a standard Software Development Studio.
For clients, COAK becomes a partner that helps to grow the business from the first day, from designing the solution until putting online using a sharp, effective, and agile business model. Anyone can code, but COAK, as a Software Development and SEO Studio, is beyond that. They know what they do, and they do it well.
As a developer, is a great place to learn and to share. It has the space and the agility that provides small companies but the focus and the effectiveness of a medium/big size company. The team is pretty diverse, but being a team member is not only to be a professional resource but a person with daily problems, and that is respected.
Mike and Justin know what the game's name is, and they play it very well.

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.
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.
