Startup Review from Alexa Ginsberg
What stood out most about working with AppMakers USA was how attentive and helpful the team was throughout the project. They listened to our feedback, kept us updated and were always available when we had questions. Everything was handled professionally and we felt confident that our project was in good hands. Were very pleased with the final outcome!
Roei Schneider
IT at Ness
5.0★
Startup Review from Roei Schneider
I work in IT support, so I was probably more interested in whether this would save us headaches than whether it looked impressive. AppMakers spent time understanding why tickets were getting stuck and found that a lot of our delays were actually caused by people not knowing who was supposed to do the next step. That was a very simple observation, but we had never really stepped back and looked at it that way. The system they planned would make ownership much clearer and let employees see what is happening without constantly asking us for updates. I liked working with them and would do it again.

Mobile App Development Review from Michael Raca
Finding a food delivery platform that genuinely prioritizes clean, nutritious meals over endless unhealthy options has always been a challenge, until this app. Suffescom Solutions developed a platform that makes discovering health-focused restaurants incredibly simple and intentional. Instead of scrolling through overwhelming menus filled with junk food choices, users are guided toward balanced, wholesome meal options that align with a healthier lifestyle. It's a concept that was clearly needed, and the execution makes it effortless.
The overall user experience reflects the quality of work that Suffescom Solutions brings to every food delivery app development project. The interface is clean, intuitive, and designed with the end user in mind, making the ordering process quick, seamless, and stress-free. Real-time delivery tracking works flawlessly, keeping users informed every step of the way. From UI design to backend performance, every element of the app has been thoughtfully built for both functionality and reliability across devices.
What truly stands out is how professionally this health-focused food delivery application has been developed and executed from concept to launch. Suffescom's deep understanding of the on-demand food tech industry is evident in every feature, from smart restaurant filtering to smooth checkout flows. If you're looking to build a purposeful, scalable healthy food delivery app that stands out in a crowded market, Suffescom Solutions is the development partner that delivers results with precision and passion.

Delivered a fully customized mobile and web application for FlakeGlow that perfectly matched our business vision in the beauty and salon industry.
The platform was built with advanced online booking functionality, allowing users to seamlessly connect with salons and freelance beauty professionals for a wide range of services, including hair styling, nail care, skincare treatments, barber appointments, and on-demand at-home beauty visits.
What truly impressed us was how the Suffescom development team translated our concept into a feature-rich, intuitive platform. Their expertise in beauty and salon app development was evident at every stage, from UX design to backend architecture. The app wasn't just built to function; it was built to grow with our business.
The team demonstrated strong command over on-demand service app development, ensuring the platform was scalable, performance-driven, and user-friendly for both clients and beauty professionals alike. Every feature was thoughtfully implemented to enhance the booking experience and streamline salon operations.

Every mobile app design and development decision clearly prioritized the end user and it shows in how naturally people interact with the platform.

Simpalm Reviews & Testimonials
Guiulianna Cespedes
Founder at Quynza
5.0★
Mobile App Development Review from Guiulianna Cespedes
Our company needed an Android app that could support a mental health platform in a way that felt calm, easy to use, and dependable for daily users. We hired Simpalm to build that product in Kotlin and help us move from concept into something real customers could use. For us, trust and simplicity mattered more than packing in too many features.
They took a fairly hands-on role, which was helpful because we were still making product decisions as the project moved. Some weeks I was deeply involved reviewing screens, and other weeks they pushed things forward on their own. That balance worked well. They would usually come back with two or three options instead of just asking what we wanted.
We did hit one rough patch around notifications where the first version didn’t behave the way we expected, so that had to be revisited. They fixed it without making the process difficult.
The finished app runs smoothly, feels organized, and gave us a much stronger mobile presence on Android. Most importantly, early users found it approachable rather than overwhelming, which was exactly what we wanted.
Amanda Chalofsky
Owner/Founder at Neuro Speech & Swallowing Services
5.0★
Mobile App Development Review from Amanda Chalofsky
My experience with Simpalm was very good. They made a full prototype of our neuro-wellness app so we could show partners and investors what our system looks like. It matched our brand and showed the flow in a simple way. Their communication was steady, they stayed on time, and they explained things clearly. The prototype helped people understand our idea fast, and it moved our project forward. I felt supported the whole time.
Matt Rudnick
Founder and CEO at Main Sheet LLC
5.0★
Mobile App Development Review from Matt Rudnick
Working with Simpalm has been a really positive experience. We hired them to handle the frontend development of our mobile app for iOS and Android, while our backend was already in place. From the start, their team communicated clearly, stayed organized, and met every deadline we set. They were flexible when we added new features, and their designer’s input really helped improve the look and usability of the app. I appreciated how reliable and easy they were to work with having a U.S.-based team made communication smooth and fast.

Web Development Review from Anthony Clark
SEVEN developed a mobile web-based app for our company, which served as a dashboard for departmental communication. After delivering the custom platform, the agency supported its maintenance to ensure efficiency. SEVEN demonstrated impressive capabilities, and its team members were professional and well-organized. I felt the project progressed slower than expected, partly because our team was slow in providing SEVEN with the necessary resources. Nonetheless, SEVEN's performance and pricing made it a valuable partner.

Mobile App Development Review from Zlatko Medibach
We collaborated with SEVEN to develop a custom Softphone solution with advanced features, and the agency delivered high-quality software on time.

We worked with a designer from Red Collar for two months. They have quickly delved into our processes, got a sense of the tool set and integrated into the team. They were independent in carrying out the assigned tasks and bringing them up for discussion, gradually going through iterations and perfecting their designs. It was a pleasure to work together. Next time we are in need of design help, I'll be happy to employ Red Collar's services.

Web Development Review from Lathan Ashton
RichestSoft was tasked with taking our existing templates, upgrading them to the latest version of our CMS, and deploying them to a staging environment. They also updated the designs for all subsections of the site. The site is fairly generic, consisting of static pages with links from the homepage to product descriptions, case studies, and more. Our team can easily log into the CMS and update case studies without needing a web developer, which has been a huge advantage. Our primary concern was the seamless conversion of our old templates, and RichestSoft handled this flawlessly. They even suggested ideas like making the site multilingual, though we only needed an English version, so it wasn’t necessary in our case.

Digital Marketing Review from Elton Tucker
Working with Audience11 has been one of the best decisions we've made for our business. From day one, they got our brand's not just the look and feel, but who were trying to reach and how to actually convert clicks into real customers.
They helped us scale our paid ads (especially on Meta and Google) while keeping our ROAS super healthy. We saw more traffic to our product pages, stronger engagement, and most importantly more sales. They were constantly testing creatives, tweaking audiences, and pushing ideas that actually worked.
Its rare to find a marketing team that feels like a true extension of your business but thats exactly what they are. If youre in retail or footwear and looking to grow, these are your people.

Dustin Wheeler's Review Sourced from Google
it was such a pleasure working with App Founders and just how easy and professional they were. I quickly realized how the industry is full of thirsty, needy bots and scammers I’m trying to get your attention, but tons of unsolicited phone calls and texts. Dealing with these guys was a breath of fresh and definitely showed up in value above all the rest.

I worked at this company for a shot period of time and the review posted by former client is 100% accurate. Most of the people I met are super cool and many are super-talented. But the soft and managerial skills at the management level is not conducive of success, unfortunately. In the end, I realized how lucky I had been in my career so I was grateful for the eye-opener.

DC Drone Pilot's Review Sourced from Google
My development staff worked with HappyFunCorp over a multitude of times over the last year and their experience was that communications and the relationship on HFC's side was being conducted in an unprofessional manner compared to other providers we have worked with in the past several years of launching our newest venture.
Due to these prior experiences, we have decided to cut our professional relationship with this software developer permanently. We we referred to them by another client, and at first we thought there was synergy, but that no longer seems the case as HFC is no longer following their values that at one time made them an industry leader.
We will seek other options and there are far better developers our there for those seeking an alternative. We suggest you do your due diligence before contacting this firm. How this firm conducts business is critical to your success, so do yourself a favor and consider other solution providers.

This company, according to industry insiders, is now insolvent. There are several posts and discussions about this once awesome company for software development, that is now working through how to deal with the bankruptcy.
We have had several colleagues that have attempted to contact this company, only to be told they are no longer accepting new projects due to financial constraints and need to reorganize.

We partnered with ARYtech to develop a modern LMS tailored to our institution’s needs, and the experience has been extremely positive. Their team understood the complexities of digital learning, user accessibility, and content management, and delivered a platform that is both intuitive and highly scalable.
The LMS now allows us to manage courses, track student progress, and automate administrative tasks with ease. The AI features they implemented including smart recommendations and content structuring have made learning more interactive and efficient for our students.
Beyond development, they also supported us with strategic guidance on launching and marketing the platform across different channels. Their understanding of digital communication and user engagement helped us increase adoption rates and improve overall learning outcomes.
A dependable and forward-thinking tech partner for any educational institution looking to transform its learning ecosystem.

Operations Dept's Review Sourced from Google
We worked with ARY Tech to build an AI-enhanced self-publishing marketplace that connects seamlessly with multiple platforms, including Amazon. Their team deeply understood publishing policies, metadata requirements, and the compliance challenges authors face during submission.
The system they developed intelligently checks manuscripts against platform guidelines, suggests modifications, and ensures everything is aligned before publishing. The best part is the one-click publishing feature — it has made the entire process faster, easier, and far more reliable for our authors.
ARY Tech combined strong technical capability with industry insight, enabling us to offer a truly modern and efficient publishing experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build or scale technology in the self-publishing space.

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.
