What to Know
Key insights from our experience across 110+ shipped products
Review Their Portfolio — Deeply
Don't just look at screenshots. Ask for live apps you can download and test. Look for apps similar to your complexity. If they've never shipped something in your domain, ask why.
Evaluate Their Tech Stack
The tech stack affects your long-term hiring, scalability, and maintenance. Avoid companies that push only one framework for every project. A good company recommends the right tool for your use case.
Test Communication Before You Commit
Response time during sales is the best proxy for communication during development. Ask how they run sprints, what their escalation process is, and whether you'll have a dedicated PM.
Scrutinise the Contract
Ensure the contract covers: IP ownership (yours, not theirs), NDA, milestone-based payments, change request process, source code access throughout, and post-launch support terms.
Know the Red Flags
Red flags: no discovery phase, fixed quote without requirements, no portfolio of live apps, vague timelines, no clear project manager, upfront full payment demand, or no NDA offered.
Understand the Pricing Model
Fixed-price suits well-defined projects. Time-and-material works for evolving products. Avoid companies that only offer one model — it means they haven't thought about your best interest.
