Digis Reviews & Testimonials
Wladimir Wolinski
Project Manager at Seven Tips UG & Co. KG

UI/UX Design Review from Wladimir Wolinski
Communication was smooth either through our teams communication channel or with the project manager via email. We were in daily contact with the UX/UI designer in form of dailies or when we had to clarify some questions. With the project manager, we had a short conversation every 2 weeks to clarify all possible questions.
We personally love to work in a very process-oriented way. Because when we understand how to do something, we usually know how the end result can look like. With Digis, we also had the feeling that they knew what they were doing and how to do it. Every next step was planned from the beginning. If something didn't work in line with our processes, we could readjust it.
We were basically satisfied with everything.

Website Redesign Review from Michael Wilson
Digis is redesigning our website to a magento based platform to migrate from a Wordpress based platform. Key deliverables include a full discovery document to determine and outline the scope of the work and the magento platform with custom development to fit our needs.
Everything has been delivered on time. Danila our project manager has great communication and always responds in a timely manor. We always receive clear explanations and detailed time logs for the work that is done.

Mobile App Development Review from Gina Levy
Both the developer and tester have exceeded expectations. Their performance is excellent. Together they eliminated bugs, introduced new features, and ensured that the app is working without problems. Previously, we had many complaints in the app store. Since working with this developer and tester, these complaints about the app functioning and bugs have disappeared.
The time zone different is sometimes challenging, since we are in California and they are in Europe.

Mobile App Development Review from Tim Nguyen
Warning: Avoid Apptunix (apptunix.com)
If you're considering hiring offshore developers, especially from India, I want to share a warning about Apptunix (apptunix.com) and its CEO. My company worked with them on a development project, investing close to $40K, only to have them hold our code hostage and demand more money before releasing it.
We entered into the project with clear expectations and milestones, but as we progressed, Apptunix consistently delayed, under-delivered, and eventually refused to hand over the work we had already paid for unless we agreed to pay more. This kind of behavior is nothing short of extortion. It seems like their CEO and leadership are more interested in squeezing money out of clients than delivering quality work.
Beyond the financial frustration, the skill level and talent from this team were not up to par. The development work was substandard, full of bugs, and lacked the quality we expected for the investment we made. I strongly urge anyone considering offshore development to do your due diligence or, better yet, reconsider offshore development altogether, as the experience in some regions, particularly India, seems to be in decline.

Mobile App Development Review from Will Thomas
We were creating a software in the health care environment. It was a software for publishers to improve their revenue by making a dynamic inventory on their side and getting more income out of their advertising. We needed help with the recruitment of an outsourced, part-time frontend developer with broad experience and availability.

Web Development Review from AJ Canty
We’ve been working with Vention for quite some time and consider them an extension of our team, rather than an offshore vendor. We needed solid mobile developers to work with our in-house engineers to build our Primer SDKs on both mobile platforms. This was not a trivial thing as it required a lot of cross-functional communication, but the Vention team was up to the challenge. They quickly adopted the best practices we follow at Primer and proved to be effective and proactive.

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.
