Empat Reviews & Testimonials
Angie Tromley-Morales, PMP
CEO at House Caddy
5.0★
Mobile App Development Review from Angie Tromley-Morales, PMP
We hired Empat to design and build the MVP of House Caddy, a household management app that keeps receipts, warranties, manuals, and repair history in one place, with reminders for expiring warranties and maintenance. The product also helps homeowners prepare a full digital home history for future property transfers.
Empat delivered end-to-end work: discovery, UX/UI design, Flutter mobile development, and a Python backend. They implemented a clear flow where users first create home appliances/systems and then attach documents and repairs to each item.
A major highlight was Empats AI expertise. AI features simplify the entire user journey by auto-filling appliance details from photos/docs/links, assisting with utility provider setup, and importing contacts to speed up adding contractors. This reduced manual input and made onboarding fast and intuitive.
Communication was excellent, with proactive brainstorming, clear sprint updates, and on-time delivery. The MVP is market-ready, early feedback is very positive, and Empat proved to be a reliable, product-driven partner with strong mobile, backend, and AI capabilities.

iPhone Review from Gabriel Sabadin
We engaged SolveIt to develop a minimum viable product (MVP) app, including a user-friendly iOS design, an artificial intelligence (AI) model, and a monetization strategy while ensuring General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance and preparing for future integrations. Despite a tight deadline, SolveIt delivered the app on time and efficiently handled beta-testing within three months, allowing us to gather feedback and launch successfully. We acquired our first 1,000 users within a month of launching the app. SolveIt's team communicated effectively, addressed issues proactively, and maintained a high level of autonomy, bringing diverse expertise that greatly benefited our project. We appreciate the agency's dedication and professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions About Offshore Software Development Companies
What services does an offshore software development firm typically offer?
Offshore development services typically support the full software development lifecycle, from early planning through post-launch support. Core services include:Â
Software consulting and management: Auditing a business's current IT environment, identifying business and technical requirements, and advising on product strategy, platform choices, implementation planning, and delivery oversight. Â
Custom software development: Designing and building a software solution tailored to a company's workflows, operational needs, and customer requirements.Â
Mobile app development: Developing software solutions for mobile devices as native iOS or Android apps or cross-platform products.Â
Web development: Building digital products delivered through the browser, including customer-facing websites, portals, eCommerce experiences, and progressive web apps.Â
DevOps and cloud engineering: Configuring CI/CD pipelines, migrating systems to a cloud platform (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud), and designing the cloud infrastructure to ensure security and accessibility.Â
AI/ML and automation development: Producing applications that run on artificial intelligence, machine learning, or natural language processing models to streamline workflows and augment human teams.Â
Systems integration: Connecting the different applications of a business (e.g., CRM, ERP, and eCommerce store), ensuring seamless data exchange and cohesive functionality across systems.Â
Many offshore software development companies also offer UI/UX design, digital transformation, data engineering and business intelligence, IoT development, cybersecurity and compliance, and staff augmentation.Â
What is the difference between offshore, nearshore, and onshore development?
The primary difference between offshore, nearshore, and onshore development lies in the team's location in comparison to yours.Â
Â
Onshore development
Nearshore development
Offshore development
Where is it located?
Same country as your business
Neighboring country
Distant countries, often in different continents
Advantages
Easier real-time collaborationÂ
Closer cultural and regulatory alignmentÂ
Greater visibility and control
Better time zone overlapÂ
Easier communication Â
Lower costs than onshore development
Lowest delivery costÂ
Greater access to global talent poolsÂ
Stronger scalability
Considerations
More expensiveÂ
Expertise is limited to locality
More cost-effective than onshore teams, but still more expensive than offshoreÂ
Operates in different time zonesÂ
Potential communication delaysÂ
Greater need for strong project management and governanceÂ
In practice, the right model depends on your priorities. Companies that value close collaboration may prefer onshore or nearshore teams, while those focused on scalability and cost efficiency often consider an offshore partner.Â
What are the most popular locations for offshore software development companies?
The best offshore location depends on your company's priorities, including budget, time zone preferences, language fluency, technical expertise, and regulatory needs. That said, several regions are commonly considered leading destinations for offshore outsourcing:Â
India: About 54% of American companies outsource to India, and it remains one of the most established offshore outsourcing destinations due to its large talent pool (over 5 million developers), mature vendor ecosystem, and technical capabilities. It is ideal for businesses looking for scalability, cost-efficiency, and long-term delivery capacity. Â
Eastern Europe: Countries such as Poland, Romania, and Ukraine are often evaluated for their strong engineering talent, experience with complex software projects, and familiarity with European and global business requirements. Many companies look to this region for high-skill development work and R&D depth. Â
China: Quickly becoming a leader in software development, many organizations outsource to China for its advanced technological expertise (AI/ML, IoT, and large-scale product development) and manufacturing capabilities. Businesses turn to China for software-hardware projects, manufacturing support, and embedded systems. Â
Southeast Asia: Countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines are frequently considered for their competitive pricing, growing developer ecosystems, and ability to support distributed delivery models. They may be attractive to businesses seeking cost efficiency and scalable team support. Â
Latin America: Offering time zone and cultural alignment and cost-effective rates, Latin America is one of the top outsourcing locations for organizations in North America that need real-time collaboration.Â
How much does an offshore software development firm charge for their services?
Offshore software development services cost $15-$100+ per hour, depending on your project requirements and complexity, and development team location and technical expertise. Below is the approximate hourly rate of each region:Â
Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia): $25-$40 per hour, with senior talents charging over $60 per hour
India and China: $35-$40 per hour, with senior talents charging over $70 per hourÂ
Africa and the Middle East: $25-$50 per hour, with more experienced teams charging over $70 per hour
Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania): $30-$60 per hour, but senior talent may charge over $100 per hour
Latin America (Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, and Costa Rica): $35-$65 per hour, with senior talents charging over $100 per hour
UK: $60-$80 per hour for junior teams or small projects, but more experienced teams charge over $100 per hour
United States: $75-$150 per hour, with more experienced teams charging $200 per hourÂ
When is offshore development the wrong fit?
You may want to avoid hiring an offshore development company when the delivery model creates more operational risk than strategic value. This is often the case when close day-to-day alignment, strict oversight, or highly controlled environments are essential.Â
Offshore developers may be a poor fit when:Â
Real-time collaboration is critical: If your team depends on frequent live decision-making, rapid feedback loops, or constant cross-functional coordination, limited time zone overlap can slow execution.Â
The work involves highly sensitive data or strict regulatory requirements: Projects involving proprietary algorithms, regulated customer data, or data sovereignty obligations may require tighter legal, security, and operational controls.Â
Internal technical leadership is limited: Offshore engagements usually work best when the client has experienced product, engineering, or technology leaders who can define priorities, manage delivery, and enforce standards.Â
Project scope is unclear: If requirements, goals, or ownership are still vague, an offshore engagement can lead to misalignment, rework, and unnecessary spend.Â
