Flyaps Reviews & Testimonials
Andrew Stetsenko Founder at GlossaryTech, backed by Dice
5.0★
Python Django Review from Andrew Stetsenko
We partnered with Flyaps to build the GlossaryTech Chrome Extension from scratch, including the backend for tech terminology analysis. The goal was to help recruiters, sales professionals, and other non-technical specialists in IT quickly understand the technical terms they encounter every day.The first release shipped back in 2017, long before today's AI tools were available off the shelf. Flyaps built a custom tokenization layer on top of NLTK library to resolve the ambiguity problem - distinguishing "Go" the language from "go to the shop," or "Swift" the framework from the adjective, while also correctly recognizing multi-token terms like "Ruby on Rails" or "Amazon Web Services". It was a pragmatic, precise solution that made the extension genuinely usable from day one.The outcomes have validated that early bet. GlossaryTech now holds "Featured" status in the Chrome Web Store, has passed 25,000 downloads, and consistently serves 10,000+ weekly active users and 2,000+ daily active users. For a niche professional tool, that level of organic, sustained engagement is rare - and it traces directly back to the technical foundation Flyaps put in place.Beyond the engineering, what stood out was how Flyaps engaged with the product itself. They contributed to architecture decisions, flagged edge cases early, and treated scope conversations with honesty rather than upsell. Communication was straightforward throughout, deadlines were met, and the codebase has held up well as we've extended the product over time.I'd recommend Flyaps to anyone looking for a partner who combines solid engineering with genuine product thinking. They've been central to GlossaryTech's success and continue to be a team we trust.
Dariia Ryzhova Product Manager at Nextgen
4.7★
Software Development Review from Dariia Ryzhova
Our collaboration with Flyaps has lasted for several major projects, of which I personally worked with them on two. I am very satisfied with the level of expertise (both technical and domain), the involvement and responsibility of the teams, and the quality of delivery. We successfully brought 2 major products to life together. Flyaps teams have diverse specializations, so I had the opportunity to attract consultants from different fields: software developers, including high-level architects, DevOps, QA, and business analysts.The teams have a modern technology stack and are experienced in Agile development. This allowed for smooth integration with internal teams and processes. It is also important to note that Flyaps provides technical consulting on demand, and this was very valuable service as well. Overall, I can recommend working with Flyaps as a reliable and high-quality partner.
ТОВ ХОТНАЙТС Review from Google
5.0★
ТОВ ХОТНАЙТС's Review Sourced from Google
Flyaps delivered outstanding results for our e-commerce store! They built a visually stunning and high-performing website that perfectly captures our brand. Since launching, our site speed has improved by over 60%, and we've seen a noticeable increase in our conversion rate. Their team's technical expertise is top-notch, and the new admin panel they created has made managing our operations so much easier. I am happy to recommend this team of professionals.

Wladimir Wolinski Project Manager at Seven Tips UG & Co. KG
5.0★
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.

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.
Gina Levy CEO at KindraConnect
5.0★
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.

Tim Nguyen CEO at PayX
1.0★
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.

Troy Web took over the maintenance and service contract for our in depth healthcare career information and job posting website. Their ability to seamlessly take ownership, clean up and bring our site into a stable wordpress environment was done not only quickly, but also flawlessly. During our time with Troy Web, a number of updates and additional features were required to be built. They were not only able to build these aspects, but also to correct past build issues in the process making the site more reliable on a daily basis. In the last 6 months of their service we didn’t experience any unforeseen downtime with our website, which is extremely important to the function of our site for those that access and use it on a daily basis. Troy Web provides an exceptional service with a team that is always available and very knowledgeable.

Jordan Menard's Review Sourced from Google
I came to Faction Studio after two previous developers had completely botched a product. One of them, who supposedly said they won an Omma award, was hired first due to the client's intense specificity and attention to detail.No one was able to deliver - until I went to Faction Studio.These guys are just good at their jobs, it's that simple. They do great work, they work hard, they don't make excuses, and they aren't afraid to go the extra mile.One of the best moves I made in my business was signing Faction Studios, who will be developing all of my future client's websites moving forward.

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.
