Compare app development agencies

Compare the scope, team, release responsibilities, ownership, and support in each proposal. See how AppsTango works, then choose the model that fits your product.

# make-an-informed-choice

Compare the commitments in writing.

An agency can coordinate the skills needed for a complete product. Ask who will do the work and how decisions, progress, and changes are handled.

Providers differ. These are questions to ask each team, rather than claims about every agency, freelancer, or location.

Scope and price

AppsTango: MVP Launch starts at $10,000 for one platform. Full Cycle starts at $35,000 for two platforms. The written proposal defines the work and fixed price.
Ask each agency: Which features, platforms, integrations, and acceptance criteria does the price cover? How are changes approved and priced?

Delivery and release

AppsTango: MVP Launch targets 30 days; Full Cycle targets six weeks. We confirm scope, dependencies, and the schedule before work begins. Store approval timing is separate.
Ask each agency: What marks build completion, submission, and release? Which dependencies could change the schedule, and who owns each one?

People doing the work

AppsTango: Senior US engineers work on the product. Discuss the roles your scope needs and meet the people responsible for delivery.
Ask each agency: Who is assigned to your engagement? What relevant work have they shipped, and how are staffing changes handled?

Visible progress

AppsTango: Agree on demonstrations, review points, and the definition of done as part of the delivery plan.
Ask each agency: How often will you see working software? Where can you track decisions, blockers, and accepted work?

Ownership and access

AppsTango: Work belongs in your repository and cloud account. Agree on access, handoff documents, and the ownership terms before kickoff.
Ask each agency: Who owns the code and accounts? Can your next engineer deploy, monitor, and maintain the product without the original team?

Support after launch

AppsTango: MVP Launch includes 30 days of post-launch support; Full Cycle includes 90 days. Additional maintenance is scoped separately.
Ask each agency: What is covered, for how long, and how are incidents triaged? Who owns operating costs and ongoing updates?

Questions to resolve before you choose.

How should I compare two agency quotes?

Normalize the scope first: features, platforms, integrations, testing, release, and support. Ask each provider to identify assumptions and exclusions. Then compare total cost and responsibility for the same outcome.

Is a fixed price always the right choice?

It works best when the deliverable and acceptance criteria are clear. Uncertain work may need a discovery or review phase before a build can be quoted. Agree on a change process whichever commercial model you choose.

Can you help with an app already under development?

Yes. Bring the current build, delivery plan, and known problems. We can discuss a technical review and recovery path. Access and review scope are agreed before a full assessment.

Can I see relevant examples?
