How do you choose which agencies to list?

We research firms with verifiable portfolios, a track record of three or more years, and public business information. Each one is reviewed by hand for an active website, real client work, and an accurate profile. Standard listings are never sold.

What does the 'Verified' badge mean?

A Verified badge appears only when the profile has linked, reviewed source evidence. It is a check on the supported facts, not an endorsement of quality.

Does the directory currently have paid placements?

No current listing is marked as paid or featured. If paid placement is offered later, it will be labelled everywhere it appears and will not change the underlying profile data.

How often is the directory updated?

Profiles are updated as source evidence is reviewed. A Verified badge and evidence date appear only when the profile retains a linked, reviewed source.

Should I just pick the cheapest agency?

Rarely. A $50/hour team can take twice as long and need far more oversight than a $150/hour team, so the cheaper rate often costs more in total. Match the agency's minimum project size and expertise to your project, then compare total cost — not the hourly figure alone.

How much does it cost to build an app in 2026?

Simple apps run $25,000–75,000, medium-complexity apps $75,000–150,000, and complex apps $150,000–500,000 or more. The agency's hourly rate, your feature set, and design depth drive the number. See the app development cost guide at /app-development-cost for a full breakdown.

Does location actually matter for app development?

It affects price and overlap, not capability. US and UK teams cost the most but share your timezone and culture. Eastern European teams balance quality and cost. Asian teams have the lowest rates but usually need more project management on your side.

What's the difference between iOS, Android, and cross-platform agencies?

iOS specialists work in Swift and SwiftUI for the Apple ecosystem. Android specialists work in Kotlin and Java for Google Play. Cross-platform agencies use React Native or Flutter to build both apps from one codebase, usually 20–30% cheaper than building each natively.
