    Empat Reviews & Testimonials

    • Angie Tromley-Morales, PMP
      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.

The solution allows us to monitor client success in real time, visualize key trends, and make data-driven marketing decisions. The Empat team was professional, communicative, and highly attentive to our needs. They quickly understood our workflow and created a system thats both intuitive and scalable. Thanks to their work, weve streamlined our internal processes and gained much better visibility into our clients results. Were very satisfied with the outcome and would definitely recommend Empat to anyone looking for a reliable software development partner.

      Some problems can only be solved with code, but others require end-user thinking. So Plavno developers remember that the whole goal is to solve problems — not only to write code. They thought about the problem from the restaurantants point of view. They developed a food delivery app with both customer and admim panels, which covers all the necessary functionality.

      Plavno was creating profiles with pulling up a lot of information (clusters). Xunit-based scoring was used when setting up a .NET 2.0 project. Scoring for this format works similarly to Junit. The team extended the products by adding features, fixing bugs. This development can change cluster parameters, cluster management system (current state of the object), customize vectors that lead to this cluster and make predictions.

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.

Service Share of total demand
Web application development 40%
Mobile app development 30%
AI agent development 20%
Legacy system refactoring 10%

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

The cost of software development services depends on the tech stack, core functions and features, compliance and integration requirements, project complexity, and engagement model. 

Developers in North America will charge more than those in Europe or Asia, so you should budget for $120-$200/hr for American developers and $25-$150/hr for a software developer from Asia or Europe.   

Custom software development cost estimates based on project complexity:

Project type Cost
Simple App / MVP (minimal features)  $50,000-$150,000 
Medium Complexity (CRM, marketplace sites)  $150,000-$500,000 
Large Enterprise Software  $500,000-$2,000,000+ 
Examples (ERP/Complex Platforms)  $200,000 and up 

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

How many hours of integration work do software development projects typically entail?

Software development projects require between 20 and 500 hours of integration work per system, depending on complexity. 

Integration type Typical effort
Simple services (email, SMS, analytics, payments) 20 to 80 hours each
CRM and auth/SSO 40 to 120 hours each
ERP, healthcare (HL7/FHIR), banking/KYC 150 to 500 hours each

As per Diffco, the number of integrations also scales with project size: small builds typically involve 2–4 integrations, mid-sized builds 5–10, and large enterprise platforms 10–25 or more. The software development company also discloses that integrations are inventoried and priced individually rather than folded into a single project total, allowing clients to phase the more costly integrations as needed.
