Azumo Reviews & Testimonials

Software Development Review from Michael S.
We selected Azumo to develop our software. We transitioned from another development company, so Azumo was initially responsible for migrating our existing code and environments. We are currently still working with Azumo as our nearshore software development team on adding new items to our software.

UI/UX Design Review from Anonymous
Azumo helped us migrate our existing UIs into a new framework, creating reusable components and the infrastructure needed for future development. The developer they assigned became a seamless part of our team, always punctual, responsive, and a great fit overall.

Software Development Review from Anonymous
Thanks to Azumo’s work, our product is now more scalable, optimized, and ready for a growing user base. Their team has managed the engagement effectively, keeping us updated and addressing any challenges along the way. We’ve appreciated their constant availability and proactive communication.

Flyaps Reviews & Testimonials

Python Django Review from Andrew Stetsenko
We partnered with Flyaps to build the GlossaryTech Chrome Extension from scratch, including the backend for tech terminology analysis. The goal was to help recruiters, sales professionals, and other non-technical specialists in IT quickly understand the technical terms they encounter every day.The first release shipped back in 2017, long before today's AI tools were available off the shelf. Flyaps built a custom tokenization layer on top of NLTK library to resolve the ambiguity problem - distinguishing "Go" the language from "go to the shop," or "Swift" the framework from the adjective, while also correctly recognizing multi-token terms like "Ruby on Rails" or "Amazon Web Services". It was a pragmatic, precise solution that made the extension genuinely usable from day one.The outcomes have validated that early bet. GlossaryTech now holds "Featured" status in the Chrome Web Store, has passed 25,000 downloads, and consistently serves 10,000+ weekly active users and 2,000+ daily active users. For a niche professional tool, that level of organic, sustained engagement is rare - and it traces directly back to the technical foundation Flyaps put in place.Beyond the engineering, what stood out was how Flyaps engaged with the product itself. They contributed to architecture decisions, flagged edge cases early, and treated scope conversations with honesty rather than upsell. Communication was straightforward throughout, deadlines were met, and the codebase has held up well as we've extended the product over time.I'd recommend Flyaps to anyone looking for a partner who combines solid engineering with genuine product thinking. They've been central to GlossaryTech's success and continue to be a team we trust.

Software Development Review from Dariia Ryzhova
Our collaboration with Flyaps has lasted for several major projects, of which I personally worked with them on two. I am very satisfied with the level of expertise (both technical and domain), the involvement and responsibility of the teams, and the quality of delivery. We successfully brought 2 major products to life together. Flyaps teams have diverse specializations, so I had the opportunity to attract consultants from different fields: software developers, including high-level architects, DevOps, QA, and business analysts.The teams have a modern technology stack and are experienced in Agile development. This allowed for smooth integration with internal teams and processes. It is also important to note that Flyaps provides technical consulting on demand, and this was very valuable service as well. Overall, I can recommend working with Flyaps as a reliable and high-quality partner.
ТОВ ХОТНАЙТС's Review Sourced from Google
Flyaps delivered outstanding results for our e-commerce store! They built a visually stunning and high-performing website that perfectly captures our brand. Since launching, our site speed has improved by over 60%, and we've seen a noticeable increase in our conversion rate. Their team's technical expertise is top-notch, and the new admin panel they created has made managing our operations so much easier. I am happy to recommend this team of professionals.

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?
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 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.
