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.

UI/UX Design Review from Wladimir Wolinski
Communication was smooth either through our teams communication channel or with the project manager via email. We were in daily contact with the UX/UI designer in form of dailies or when we had to clarify some questions. With the project manager, we had a short conversation every 2 weeks to clarify all possible questions.We personally love to work in a very process-oriented way. Because when we understand how to do something, we usually know how the end result can look like. With Digis, we also had the feeling that they knew what they were doing and how to do it. Every next step was planned from the beginning. If something didn't work in line with our processes, we could readjust it.We were basically satisfied with everything.
Website Redesign Review from Michael Wilson
Digis is redesigning our website to a magento based platform to migrate from a Wordpress based platform. Key deliverables include a full discovery document to determine and outline the scope of the work and the magento platform with custom development to fit our needs.Everything has been delivered on time. Danila our project manager has great communication and always responds in a timely manor. We always receive clear explanations and detailed time logs for the work that is done.
Mobile App Development Review from Gina Levy
Both the developer and tester have exceeded expectations. Their performance is excellent. Together they eliminated bugs, introduced new features, and ensured that the app is working without problems. Previously, we had many complaints in the app store. Since working with this developer and tester, these complaints about the app functioning and bugs have disappeared.The time zone different is sometimes challenging, since we are in California and they are in Europe.

Mobile App Development Review from Keith Mancuso
Parallel staff worked on some features for our web app. They also helped us with using the AWS cloud. We used React.js and Node.js for the development of the app. Its frontend was 90% done. Meanwhile, one of the previous developers that I was working with put half of the backend AWS code into an account that only he had access to so parallel staff had to search for it. They did not find it, so the team had to create the code from scratch. They also gave me a report of the things that needed to be corrected. From there, they implemented new features that we needed

I wanted to outsource front end development while maintaining back end services myself.They started with existing React SPAs, cleaned them up, found and removed bugs, improved user interaction, made clear requests for new endpoints which I implemented and they tested and used.The time difference between my office in eastern USA and theirs in Moravia worked well, as we could meet at their afternoon/my morning and I had the rest of the day to deal with back end or questions they might have.Their professionalism and competency were impressive.I will continue working with them, for years, I hope, in maintenance mode or when we need to expand features.

Aman Setia's Review Sourced from Google
The worst experience with the company. First they will call you and will ask you to go for 2 hours exam just like a half yearly or annual exam conducted during school time. After that they will ask you to wait for long. The interviewer will come and will ask only about your past company to attain it's strategies to move ahead and then they will ask you to go as we have a negative results regarding you. They will make you feel comfortable as if you will be selected and then the interviewer himself will be unsecured after seeing your profile, aa you are going to be a threat to them. As of now, they are not having any urgent requirements but calling you to waste your precious time only. Prefer not to go for an interview over here.
Abhishek Bhatia's Review Sourced from Google
Squareboat has been a special part of my journey as a Mobile Engineer for the past 2 years (and counting). What truly makes it a great place to work is the people. You’re surrounded by incredibly smart driven individuals. That’s what makes showing up to work every day genuinely enjoyable.From collaborating on diverse, challenging projects to learning from peers across different teams, the experience has been both rewarding and memorable. The culture is relaxed yet focused, and there’s always room to grow, explore, and contribute meaningfully. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to join a solid tech team!

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Staff Augmentation Companies
What services do staff augmentation firms typically provide?
Staff augmentation firms provide a range of talent solutions depending on their area of specialization. Here are some of the most common staff augmentation services:
- IT staff augmentation: UI/UX designers, software developers, mobile app developers, data analysts, QA testers, cybersecurity specialists, and DevOps engineers
- Finance and accounting staffing: Bookkeepers, accountants, financial analysts, and compliance professionals
- Creative and marketing staffing: Content writers, graphic designers, social media managers, and performance marketers
- Manufacturing and operations staffing: Industrial engineers, quality control inspectors, and supply chain analysts
Some staff augmentation services also cover strategy consulting or fractional leadership support, such as CFOs, CTOs, or senior operations and manufacturing consultants.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and outsourcing?
Staff augmentation involves temporarily hiring external skilled professionals to expand your internal team's capacity. These professionals work alongside your in-house staff, follow your processes, and are managed directly by your team.
Because of this team augmentation, you have more direct control over day-to-day execution, workflows, and priorities while scaling faster.
Outsourcing, by contrast, involves hiring an external vendor to handle an entire project or business function. In this model, the vendor usually manages the team, processes, and delivery, while your company oversees results and business goals.
Outsourcing is often a better fit for clearly defined projects or ongoing functions. For example, a company might outsource mobile app development for a food delivery solution to an external custom software development company.
In short, staff augmentation scales your team, while outsourcing scales your operations as a whole.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and managed services?
Staff augmentation entails hiring external professionals to fill a skill gap or expand internal team capacity in areas such as your engineering team, marketing team, or HR department. These skilled professionals work as an extension of your dedicated team and follow your company's processes, tools, and management structure.
On the other hand, managed services involve outsourcing a specific function to a third-party provider that is responsible for delivering and managing that service. This model is especially common in IT, where a provider might take ownership of functions such as cybersecurity, custom software development, or help desk support using its own processes, tools, and service standards.
The key difference is control: with staff augmentation, you manage the people; with managed services, the provider manages the function.
When should you hire a staff augmentation company instead of a full-time employee?
The right choice depends on your hiring timeline, budget, need for specialized skills, and whether the role is temporary or long-term.
Consider hiring a staff augmentation company if:
- You need to scale your team quickly based on seasonal demand, project spikes, or changing workloads.
- You need specialized expertise that is not available in-house or is difficult to hire locally.
- You want more staffing flexibility without making a long-term hiring commitment.
- You need support for a defined project or short- to mid-term initiative.
Consider hiring a full-time employee if:
- You need someone in a permanent role with long-term ownership and continuity.
- The role requires deep knowledge of your brand, internal culture, or business context.
- The position involves highly sensitive responsibilities that require close internal oversight.
How long does the typical onboarding process take for augmented staff?
Typically, the onboarding process for augmented staff takes 90 days. However, some companies offer 14 days, while others may require 6 months.
The actual timeline will depend on the role, level of seniority, and complexity of your systems and processes.
In many cases, initial onboarding can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. However, full ramp-up may take longer, especially for highly specialized or leadership roles.
For instance, a junior bookkeeper may only need 7-14 days for onboarding. By contrast, a senior finance consultant or CFO-level advisor working with proprietary systems and cross-functional processes may need several weeks or even a few months to fully ramp up.
What industries are seeing the most growth in staff augmentation?
According to research by the QX Global Group, the industries seeing the highest growth in staff augmentation are:
- Locum tenens: 12%
- Education: 10%
- Engineering: 3%
- Retained search: 5%
Additionally, these segments are forecasted to drive staffing market growth by 2026:
- Healthcare: 6%
- IT: 5%
- Industrial staffing: 3%
