      eCommerce Development Review from Kelly Johnson

      Since partnering with Bilberry, we have seen a marked improvement in our websites stability and performance. Their team manages our backlogged issues with such efficiency that our monthly development spend has actually decreased. Estimates are consistently accurate, and we appreciate their proactive communication; if a projects scope evolves, they provide an updated estimate for approval before moving forward. Our monthly sprints are now seamless thanks to their reliable planning and ability to scale resources rapidly to meet even the tightest deadlines.

      Web Development Review from Adam Ely, PMP

      As Director of Operations at Sands Investment Group, I partnered with Bilberrry to lead the redesign and rebuild of our website, enhance our marketing operations, and streamline internal workflows. We chose Bilberrry for their strong technical capabilities, cultural alignment, and outstanding reputation. The project followed a well-structured four-phase process: discovery, design, development, and launch. From the beginning, Bilberrry took a strategic and collaborative approach, conducting workshops and technical audits to define a scalable architecture and intuitive user experience. Their team went on to create custom designs for more than 20 pages, build a flexible design system, and ensure the site met key standards for SEO and accessibility.On the development side, they customized a robust content management system tailored to our needs, incorporating dynamic listing features such as saved searches, email alerts, and early-access content for select users. The new site also connected seamlessly with our internal tools, enabling greater efficiency and automation across teams.The impact was immediate and significant: we saw a dramatic reduction in manual processes. Our team is now better equipped to manage content independently, while the platform itself is built for long-term scalability and performance.Throughout the process, Bilberrry was responsive, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. They communicated clearly, incorporated feedback quickly, and consistently brought thoughtful, strategic ideas to the table. Bilberrry's unique blend of strategic insight, technical depth, and design acumen made them an invaluable partner in creating a high-performing, visually polished digital platform tailored to our business.

      Web Development Review from Jimmy Caldwell

      Chop Dawg was the strongest development team I’ve worked with in 18 years of software implementation. They took our complex AI-powered senior placement platform and turned it into a functional marketplace with dashboards, business rules, CRM integration, and an AI assistant. The team listened, adapted, communicated often, and treated our vision with real care. The handoff had a few gaps, but overall, they delivered exceptional work.

      Chop Dawg delivered wireframes, high-fidelity screens, a logo, and Figma files while keeping each week’s work clear. They felt like part of our team, brought fresh ideas, and pushed back when needed. The experience was strong overall, though a more detailed final review would have been helpful.

      Web Design Review from Anonymous

      Chop Dawg turned our early idea for a visual polling and decision-making platform into a prototype we could confidently share with others. It made the product much easier to explain, gave us something real to test with users, and supported more productive investor conversations. The work also helped our team get aligned on the product direction, development scope, and MVP roadmap. Their team was responsive, organized, and easy to work with throughout the process.

      As a developer, working with the UX Team was always smooth sailing. Their UX is tight and clean, never any unrealistic "if this, then that". I can give them their own branch, and they check it back in with all of the assets I need in order to develop the project. Always properly formatted and well comments. No time wasted on "spaghetti code". After working on multiple projects with the UX Team, I can say I HIGHLY recommend them!

      The UX Team is amazing. High-end professionals, they are really experts in all aspects of UI and UX. Chris and the Team were able to immerse themselves in our complex product environment and develop a Design System and screens that completely exceeded our expectations. They went beyond just the user interface, and actually thought about the key functionality in new ways. And even came up with new monetization opportunities that we had never considered. This is the team you want on your side for your next project!

      I own a marketing firm in Troy MO and I recently met with Calvin at Sketch Development Services to discuss a software development project I have been thinking about pursuing. He was very nice, easy to speak to and even though his field is a bit out of my knowledge base, he was able to explain things in a way that made perfect sense. I look forward to working with him and his team in the future and recommend anyone looking for a software or app development company to give them a try.

      I'm sure I was one of the more challenging customers Doodle N Dash has worked with. As a senior with limited tech experience, Mo had to guide me through a great deal. I'm certain I tested his patience on more than a few occasions, but he always answered my questions — sometimes more than once — and returned my calls and texts promptly.

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?

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.
