Mobile App Development Review from Eliana Lubofsky
AppMakers USA was a great experience! The team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They understood my ideas and helped turn them into a quality app. I'd definitely recommend AppMakers USA to anyone looking for reliable app development services.
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!
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.

Web Development Review from Antony Matsepa
We engaged SEVEN to help launch a new product with a tight budget and timeline. The agency met our high expectations by delivering on time, within budget, and without bugs. SEVEN built a strong foundation by following our roadmap, managing tasks efficiently, and providing detailed progress reports. I was impressed with the agency's proactive problem-solving, adherence to deadlines, and flexibility. SEVEN became an integral part of our team, offering valuable insights and exceptional project management. SEVEN's client-focused approach and clear communication set it apart from other providers as a reliable technology partner.
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. Its communication and project management, using tools like Redmine, Skype, and Teams, were exceptional. SEVEN was always available for meetings throughout the collaboration. We were satisfied with the agency's services and support.

Software Development Review from Jake Mackay
For quite a long time we took orders by e-mail or personally from customers. It took a lot of time, as we either made layouts by hand or printed them according to the vague requirements of clients. All these difficulties have pushed us to take a step towards the digital transformation of our business. The team of Five Jars has developed a frontend and backend for our web tool to create print layouts. The team is not afraid to take on difficult tasks!
Responsive Review from Anthony North
I was looking for companies that had experience with large educational platforms. There are some really big players in the eLearning market in Five Jars' portfolio, so I trusted their development experience. After all our platform has become more attractive to users. Over the past year, we have noticed a significant increase in daily visits, so much so that we even had to change hosting. Five Jars helped us with that too!
Small Business Review from Colin Knox
I'm satisfied with the MVP we've done with the Five Jars team. I am currently looking for an investor for this project. I love working with professionals when I don't have to dive into a whole area that I don't know. Working with the Five Jars was a real partnership where the other side fulfilled their obligations without my constant checks.

Marabout's Review Sourced from Google
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.

Viacheslav Chichugin's Review Sourced from Google
I've worked with this company, they are real professionals. Big kudos for taking an integrated approach to my project, from analyzing the business niche to creating a fully-fledged marketplace with full functionality. These guys put their souls into working.
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.
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:
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:
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 |
Agencies quote more accurately, onboard faster, and make fewer assumptions when the buyer comes in prepared. Have the following ready before the first conversation:
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:
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:
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:
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.
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.
Here are some situations that justify switching firms mid-project:
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.
