Kevych Solutions Reviews & Testimonials
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.

Kevych was amazing to work with, and an integral part of our team. They delivered on time, with high quality, and consistent communication. You can't ask for a better partner when developing a 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!

Web Development Review from Philip Wilson
ELEK+RIK team provided a streamlined process that was both simple and enjoyable. They kept to the budget and communicated well throughout the project. ELEK+RIK comes highly recommended and we would work with ELEK+RIK again if given the opportunity.
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 were so positively surpised and happy about Sigmas services - as usual I might add. It is a pleasure working with their software engineers. After we provided a briefing, the effort estimation came right away. Shortly after the project started we could see first tangible results. The code quality was excellent and comprehensive. Minor feedback was implemented right away. What can I say more: 10 out of 10 points!

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!

Bojan Savic's Review Sourced from Google
Good people across the board. Easy to work with, cost effective and highly competent. My company has worked with them on multiple projects, all successful.
Daniel Pope's Review Sourced from Google
Honestly, I didn't expect to be this impressed. Atomic Actions leveled up our processes and freed up a ton of our time. Before them, we were drowning in manual client onboarding and endless content creation - my team was spending a ton of time and energy on routine tasks that slowed us down and even worse...did nothing to actually help us grow.These guys came in, understood our pain points, and built out systems that blew our expectations out of the water. Now, with their AI-powered content agent, we can pump out all sorts of marketing assets in minutes, not days. Our strategists finally can focus on creative work instead of copying the same old emails and docs.And the best part? It all just runs quietly in the background, organizing everything and saving it right where it needs to be.On the onboarding side, Atomic Actions automated our whole process: from the client's first form to setting up everything in our CRM and other tools. What used to take us days (and no joke, a LOT of headaches) now clicks by in 10–15 minutes.Since implementation:- We onboard clients 95% faster- Create content 92% faster- Have 400% increase in client capacity without new hires- Freed up 40+ hours/month for the team,- And can save $18k/year by replacing manual laborThe team at Atomic Actions actually cares about the end result (a rarity, seriously).If you’re looking to free up your time, scale your operations, and take some serious stress off your plate — I can’t recommend Atomic Actions enough. Worth every penny!

Everything You Need to Know Before Hiring a Software Development Company in New York
What is the single biggest mistake buyers make when hiring a software development agency in New York?
Confusing technical vocabulary with delivery capability.
An agency can speak the right language in a sales call without having shipped a product at your complexity level.
Buyers get sold on the pitch, skip the portfolio audit, and discover the gap two or three months into a paid engagement when sprint velocity collapses, or early architectural decisions start creating problems that are expensive to reverse.
The way to catch it before signing is to directly ask the agency to walk you through a project that went wrong.
An agency with real delivery experience will talk about the specific decision that caused the problem and what they did differently afterward.
An agency without it will describe the outcome without touching the process.
What red flags in a proposal should make you walk away before signing?
The proposal is the agency's best effort under zero pressure. If problems appear here, the engagement will have larger ones.
Watch out for some of these warning signs:
- No named engineers. Ask for names and seniority levels before signing.
- Fixed-price contracts on undefined scope. Fixed pricing only works when requirements are fully documented first. An agency offering a fixed price before requirements are locked is either underquoting to win the deal or planning to recover the margin through change orders.
- No change control process defined. Every software project has scope shifts. A proposal that does not define what happens when requirements change leaves the agency free to interpret it in its favor when billing questions arise later.
- Vague timeline language. "Approximately 3 to 4 months" without defined milestones or delivery checkpoints is a placeholder.
- Pressure to sign quickly. Urgency at the proposal stage is a sales tactic. It tends to reappear throughout the relationship.
What should an engagement contract contain?
An engagement contract should define scope, pricing, revision triggers, milestone timelines, and exit conditions clearly enough that neither party needs to interpret anything.
The clauses most likely to work against you and worth negotiating before signing include:
- Vague scope definitions. Language like "software development services as needed" without named deliverables gives the agency latitude to bill for work you did not anticipate authorizing.
- Unstated change order thresholds. The contract should specify what constitutes a scope change, what approval is required, and what it will cost, before any changes are requested.
- Auto-renewal clauses. Contracts that renew automatically with 30 to 60-day cancellation windows can lock you into another full cycle regardless of performance. Make sure the exit terms are explicit.
- Conditional code return terms. Contracts that make returning source code or documentation conditional on outstanding payment create leverage that is difficult to challenge after the fact.
- Undefined IP ownership. Confirm in writing that your business owns all code, assets, and documentation produced during the engagement. Do not assume this is standard; it should be stated explicitly.
How do you choose between two software developers in New York who look equally qualified on paper?
When two agencies carry comparable credentials, similar pricing, and equivalent portfolios, the deciding factor is almost always how each one behaves during the evaluation process itself.
Test these side by side:
| Differentiator | What a strong answer looks like |
| Account ownership | Named engineer with stated seniority and relevant experience |
| Industry depth | Multiple clients in your sector |
| Risk identification | Specific risks called out about your project |
| Communication cadence | Defined check-in schedule, not "we'll be in touch" |
| Response time | Stated commitment, typically 24 to 48 hours |
| Fee transparency | Written, itemized answer given without hesitation |
| Reference quality | Reference offered without prompting, from a comparable project |
What should you have prepared before approaching a software development company in New York?
Agencies quote more accurately, onboard faster, and make fewer assumptions when the buyer comes in prepared. Have the following ready before the first conversation:
- Clear software requirements, description of what you are building, and what problem it solves
- Your current tech stack, if one exists
- Any third-party systems the new software needs to integrate with
- A realistic budget range
- A timeline and what is driving it (a launch date, a funding milestone, a regulatory deadline)
- A list of what you have already tried or ruled out, and why
The last item is underrated, as it allows the agency to understand what you have already attempted and thus spend less of your billable time on approaches you have already rejected.

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.
