      Software Development Review from John Armstrong

      ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.

      Software Development Review from Mark Battcock

      We are very happy with our ELEKS partnership; the dedication of the team is exceptional. We would certainly recommend ELEKS and would be happy to work with them again. In fact, they continue to be our partner for the 2nd phase of the CDX project to add even more customer services to the website.

      Software Development Review from Huntly Christie

      What impressed me about ELEKS is the culture. There is a very strong culture of discipline and performance, and software is a profession where discipline is very important. Good software development can only happen with a strong work ethic, and I think the ELEKS team really understands that.

      Mobile App Development Review from Vasco Rouw

      Weve been working with Kevych Solutions full-time for over a year, and the experience has been excellent. They handle the complete end-to-end development of our AI-powered mobile apps, including UI/UX, frontend and backend development, AI integrations, infrastructure, deployment, and ongoing support.What stands out most is the extremely high level of their technical expertise and execution quality. They actively use AI and modern development workflows to maximize efficiency and deliver results quickly. The team is highly responsive, proactive, and always goes the extra mile to meet deadlines.Since working together, we scaled from 0 to over 100,000 subscribers in just 8 months, and our apps are now generating more than $1M in monthly revenue. Whenever challenges came up, we solved them together efficiently, and Kevych Solutions continuously adapted and grew alongside our projects.We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, high-level mobile app development partner.

Software Development Companies FAQs

What are the most requested services of custom software development firms?

The most requested services from custom software development firms are almost entirely AI-based products, delivered primarily through web application development, mobile development, AI agent development, and legacy system refactoring. UX/UI design, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and QA automation are typically not sold as standalone services; instead, they are embedded within each of these project types.

As reported by Diffco, year-over-year trends show a prevailing shift: AI agent development has grown from a niche request into a significant share of overall volume, while demand for legacy system refactoring continues to rise as clients seek to prepare their existing systems to support AI capabilities.

ServiceShare of total demand
Web application development40%
Mobile app development30%
AI agent development20%
Legacy system refactoring10%

How much does a software development company charge for its services?

Software development services typically cost $50,000 for MVPs to $2 million+ for enterprise software. US developers generally charge $120-$200/hour, while developers in Europe and Asia charge around $25-$150/hour.

How do I determine if a global company is the right size for my project?

To determine if a global software development agency is the right size for your project, match project complexity and scale to company capacity.

Choose a large/global agency with 1000+ staff, if your project:

  • Is complex or enterprise-grade, includes multiple software solutions, integrations, and compliance
  • Requires multiple roles in parallel (project management, UX/UI design, backend, quality assurance (QA), DevOps)
  • Needs 24/7 support, multi-time-zone delivery, or long-term maintenance

Large software development companies reduce delivery risk for complex programs but typically charge higher rates and use more structured processes.

Choose a small or mid-size agency with 10-200 staff if your project:

  • Is an MVP or mid-scale build
  • Requires speed, flexibility, and direct access to senior talent
  • Has a tighter budget and well-defined scope

Who owns the Intellectual Property (IP) and source code at the end of the project?

In most software development projects, the client owns the Intellectual Property (IP) and source code upon completion of the engagement, unless the contract explicitly states otherwise. Standard practice dictates that the ownership of the source code, documentation, design elements, and custom deliverables belongs to the client upon full payment. Contracts typically use "work made for hire" or an IP assignment clause to formalize this. 

Third-party or open-source components, however, are not owned by the client. Instead, they are used under their respective licenses. Some agencies retain ownership of pre-existing frameworks or reusable tools and grant the client a license to use them. You should also know that IP ownership is not automatic. To avoid disputes, ensure the contract clearly states full IP and source-code ownership transfers to you upon payment, with no usage limitations.

What tools and frameworks do software developers use?

They use various tools and frameworks, depending on the type of digital product they’re building. But the most common include: 

  • Full-stack JavaScript: MERN, MEAN, Jamstack (ex, Next.js)
  • Backend: Java-Spring, Python, Django, Ruby on Rails, LAMP
  • UI and Cross-Platform Development: React, Angular, Vue, Qt
  • Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Kotlin 
  • AI and Data-Driven Development: Python, Hugging Face, LangChain, Apache Spark, Kafka, Kubeflow, Lite, ONNX, Replit
  • QA and Testing: Selenium, Cypress, Jenkins, GitLab, JMeter, OWASP ZAP, Testim, Mabl

What are the best software development companies in 2026?

What questions should I ask before hiring a software development company?

Before hiring a software development company, ask:

 

  • Have you built similar software before?
  • Which technologies will you use?
  • Who will work on my project?
  • What is included in the scope?
  • How long will development take?
  • How do you handle testing and security?
  • Do you provide support after launch?

How do I reduce the risk of hiring the wrong software development company?

Check the company’s exit terms and review cadence before comparing prices. Short notice periods and frequent demos give you more opportunities to spot problems and change direction early. For example, Designli uses biweekly demos, offers a refundable first 14 days, and allows clients to cancel with 30 days’ notice.
