      The Training Generation have been working with Deliver for long time now having asked them to assist with the development of a training program.This has been a journey of discovery, trial and error for all of us, but we are now delivering our training program to major industry partners and hundreds of learners across New Zealand with nothing but excellent feedback for the program design and functionality it provides.From an admin perspective, our business efficiency has improved 100% taking away long-drawn-out processes and rolling them into an easy and transparent structure.There is work to be done and we will be back developing our journey together in 2024!

      Creative legends. We found What IF Web on Google while looking for web agency with real authentic creativity to bring our SaaS web project to live. Their website really stood out. We didn't want a boiler plate template, but someone who could take our brand guidelines and raise them to the next level. Tom was great to work with, communicated well, and understood what we were after first time. Highly recommended!

      Ainsley Sinclair Palairet's Review Sourced from Google

      I thought Tim and Savannah (Digital Diligence) were FAB from the first time we met, and I was not mistaken. If you're looking for honest, high-quality, and highly skilled tech support in the Zoho space, you won't find better.From our very first interaction at a user group, they impressed me with their style or working together and knowing their stuff. Now as a client I can attest to lovely clear communication, very prompt response times, and genuine commitment to solving problems efficiently. They provided smart, tailored solutions that showed real understanding of their technical side, but most importantly to me, they get the practical needs of my business.What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile—getting urgent work turned around quickly without ever compromising on quality, and setting us up for success with generous scoping meetings to start with. Their pricing is fair and transparent, and I always felt like they had my best interests at heart.I recommend DDL to anyone needing reliable, professional, and genuinely helpful support with their Zoho package.

      Matthew Jenke's Review Sourced from Google

      I had the pleasure of working with Savannah & Mike on a recent video project, and it quickly made sense why Digital Diligence / Zest Creative has such a solid reputation. Right from the start, they brought sharp thinking, clear communication, and a great sense of how to align creative ideas with a brand’s goals.Savannah & Mike struck a great balance between trusting the creative process and offering ideas that took the project to another level.What stood out most was DDs collaborative approach. They create a team environment that’s positive, respectful, and productive, which made everything run smoothly. It’s rare to find someone who can zoom in on the details while keeping the big picture in mind.I’d absolutely recommend Digital Diligence to anyone looking for digital strategy and creative direction that really works.Matt – Director, Silver Eye Films

      Anderson Harris's Review Sourced from Google

      I would not recommend working with this company if you value your time and money. The project was not completed within the agreed timeframe, and it became clear that they have a limited team working on it. Additionally, their fees are quite high relative to the quality of service provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
