Leanware Reviews & Testimonials
AI Development Review from Julia Antoci
Leanware built the mobile MVP of our AI fitness assistant for iOS and Android. It started with discovery workshops that sharpened the product vision and shaped an MVP roadmap prioritizing launch features while leaving room for expansions like avatars and real-time feedback. They developed a conversational AI engine with custom prompt and context engineering tailored to fitness conversations, one that keeps continuity across sessions, remembers user progress and preferences, and keeps health guidance within safety standards. On top of that they implemented photo-based food recognition, smart search that understands fitness intent, personalized recommendations, progress tracking with AI-generated insights and coaching suggestions, and gamified response formats that make AI answers easy to read, plus the scalable backend behind it all. Their consultation saved us an estimated 20 to 30 percent in costs by avoiding unnecessary complexity, and we launched a functional MVP across the app stores in under eight weeks, faster than planned. Project management was exceptional: clear timelines, on-schedule delivery, and proactive communication via Slack, with expert recommendations guiding decisions rather than every choice being pushed back to us. Their technical skill and creativity made the whole thing feel less like hiring a vendor and more like building with a co-founder.
Software Development Review from Anonymous
Leanware delivered two significant projects for our e-commerce platform along with a steady stream of smaller fixes and enhancements. They built a new employee management page in our back office so our customers can create accounts, set permissions, and link employees to entities on their own, and when our mobile app's chat functionality needed replicating in the back office, they built a custom chat and messaging React library from scratch, integrated seamlessly with our design system and existing bespoke solution. Along the way they worked comfortably across Next.js, React, React Native, Apollo, GraphQL, and Hasura, and adapted to our implicit conventions. We ran week-long SCRUM sprints with check-ins three times a week, and they consistently hit the sprint goals on time; even when we needed hard pivots mid-sprint, they adapted without losing pace. As the engagement progressed they increasingly took the lead, asking well-informed questions and offering suggestions on code, product, and design that genuinely enriched the outcomes. What impressed us most was how swiftly they onboarded: given incomplete product descriptions, they asked the right questions to fill the gaps and picked up our undocumented code patterns without getting stuck on minor details. It felt like one cohesive team working toward shared objectives, free of the friction that usually comes with a third party
Mobile App Development Review from Anonymous
Leanware has partnered with us since Q4 2023 on two cloud-based mobile apps for iOS and Android, one built in Flutter and one in React Native, handling development on both and the UI/UX design on one. For one project they staffed a team of five mid-level developers, a senior developer, an architect, and a UX designer available as needed. They also took over an app that was unstable and nowhere near production-ready and turned it into a stable, solid product I'm genuinely proud to show. Their processes leave nothing to chance and the code that comes out of them is excellent; they've been flexible and thorough throughout. They meet deadlines, keep their promises, and are careful about what they commit to. The whole team has been great, and Alvaro, their Technical Product Manager, deserves a special mention for being remarkable. I hired them because they were upfront about what they could and couldn't do, and that honesty, together with the tremendous quality of their work, is what separates them from other providers. Both are getting harder to find these days.

Creative Services Review from Justin A. Levine
COMO built the JAL Strategies website from the ground up, and the result speaks for itself. Colin took the time to understand what we actually do retail real estate investment focused on neighborhood shopping centers and translated that into a site that reads as credible to investors, lenders, and brokers alike. The process was collaborative and efficient, and Colin was responsive throughout without needing to be chased. For anyone launching a platform and needing their brand to look institutional from day one, I'd recommend COMO without hesitation.
Marketing Strategy Review from Jenny Drago
We've had an incredible experience working with Como Creatives. Their team is truly best-in-class. They've taken the time to understand who we are as a company and have helped us tell our story in a way that feels authentic and true to who we are. Colin has been incredible to work with. He's trustworthy, diligent, and one of the hardest-working people I've come across in the industry. He genuinely cares about getting it right and brings a unique creative perspective that has helped us better communicate who we are as a brand. He's challenged us in all the right ways, asked thoughtful questions, and helped us find a voice that feels authentic and resonates with the people we're trying to reach. This team not only creates great work, but they invest in understanding your business, your values, and what makes you different. That level of care shows in everything they do, and it's what sets them apart. We're incredibly grateful for everything Como Creatives has done for us, and we're excited to keep building together. If you're looking for a creative partner that's talented, intentional, and genuinely invested in your success, I can't recommend them highly enough!

Austin rebuilt our website from the ground up and helped turn Bespoke Tint & PPF into one of the top tint brands in Bellevue. The work started with a full redesign of our website, including branding, copywriting, conversion improvements, mobile optimization, and development. The new site immediately performed better and generated more leads after launch.After the website launch, we continued working together on SEO, AI search optimization, paid advertising support, analytics, A/B testing, and ongoing marketing strategy. He also helped improve our review visibility, local search presence, and overall positioning online.What started as a website project became an ongoing growth partnership focused on increasing traffic, leads, and customer acquisition.
Mark Manes's Review Sourced from Google
We needed a custom solution to parse various PDF formats, clean the extracted data using AI, and seamlessly store it in a database. A previous vendor failed to handle our document variety, but this team delivered flawlessly. They built exactly what we asked for—accurate parsing, intelligent data cleaning, and structured database storage. Highly recommend!

We were ranking well on Google but weren’t getting any clients from ChatGPT or other AI platforms. I reached out to them for help with AEO/SEO, and within a week of launching the changes, we started getting website traffic from ChatGPT. It has been about two months, and now we are also getting traffic from Grok and Gemini. Very thankful for the results.

Not only did she manage our campaigns with precision, but she also provided regular, detailed reports and insightful recommendations to keep improving our results. I appreciate how proactive and responsive she is—always ready to adjust strategies based on what’s working and what needs tweaking.Thanks to RankFuse and Lauren, my business has seen increased engagement and lead generation through social platforms.

We had Landslide Creative build a new website for our company, and the experience was outstanding from the start. During our initial consultation with Amanda and Josh, the owners, the process was seamless and straightforward. They asked insightful questions to fully understand our website requirements. Communication was consistently open, making them exceptionally easy to work with. Throughout the build, they incorporated SEO practices to ensure high rankings with Google's algorithms. The result was a fantastic website that met or exceeded all our expectations. If you need a new website, a redesign, or have specific web needs, I highly recommend Landslide. We are extremely grateful and will continue to use Landslide for all our future website needs.
Chan Sheppard's Review Sourced from Google
Landslide has been a partner with 4:13 Strong for over 10 years. From the logo, to the website, to printed materials, to social media, to strategy sessions, they know our story and can tell it better than anyone. When our staff says "let's send that one to Landslide", we all relax knowing that it will be done quickly and excellently and will be far better than trying to do it "in-house". I could not recommend Landslide any more highly.
Carissa Willcoxon's Review Sourced from Google
My company, ISTS, partnered with Landslide to redesign our corporate website and student support website. Amanda and her team were collaborative, responsive, personable and delivered high-quality work.

Him and his company will do everything they can to ensure that your data is secure, protected, and that your technology is running properly. I highly recommend him and his company.
Cindy Luo's Review Sourced from Google
Terrible service. I trusted Cyber Protect LLC to help secure my data, but I still got hacked while under their protection. When I reached out for help, their support was slow, unresponsive, and offered no real solution. They took no accountability and left me to deal with the damage on my own. Completely unreliable and not worth the money. Would never recommend.Edit: Your response is disappointing and frankly evasive. If you have no record of me as a client, maybe that explains why your “protection” failed so miserably. Your slow, unresponsive support and complete lack of accountability left me to deal with the consequences alone. Claiming that neither you nor your clients have ever experienced a breach sounds more like a PR line than reality.If you want to prove otherwise, then start by owning up to your failures instead of brushing off legitimate concerns. Until then, your “enterprise-grade solutions” are nothing but empty words.

I highly recommend Isaac with Techy Toes! I’ve been blessed to have found Isaac and received his services to help promote our plumbing business in Arizona. Within the first 6 months of help Isaac not only had provided us with a fully functioning website but also had worked his magic in getting us to become visible on Google. We have held one of the top three spots in our city on Google Maps for the past 4 years now. The past three years we were awarded the best plumbing company in our city from 3 separate plumbing magazines. We would never have been able to accomplish what we have so far without Isaac.

Everything You Need to Know Before Hiring US Backend Developers
Why should businesses hire United States backend development companies instead of relying only on freelancers?
For companies building revenue-critical platforms, a US backend development company often offers greater stability than a single freelance developer, as they can provide multiple specialists across architecture, QA, security, DevOps, and project management.
According to the United States Bureau of Labor, the US had about 1.69 million software developerjobs in 2024, and employment for software developers is projected to grow 16% from 2024 to 2034, with roughly 129,200 openings per year across software development, QA, and testing.
That means replacing a single junior web developer can be expensive and slow, while a backend development agency in the United States can reduce delivery risk and knowledge concentration.
Access to a full engineering team instead of a single software developer
A freelancer is typically one full-stack software engineer with a specific skill set, while a company that employs a backend developer provides a multidisciplinary team of expert developers.
A typical backend team may include:
- Backend developer or backend engineer, including C developer, Python developer, and Django developer
- Software engineer or backend software engineer
- System developer
- Frontend developer or web developer
- DevOps specialists and QA engineers
The team-based structure allows API development, database architecture, and testing to happen simultaneously, which speeds up delivery and improves quality.
Higher reliability for complex projects
Freelance backend developers in the US can be excellent specialists, but businesses often face higher delivery risk when relying on a single person. If a freelancer becomes unavailable, the project can stall.
