MessApps
VerifiedNYC app development company founded in 2014 by self-taught lawyer-turned-developer. Team of 10 offering boutique services at $70-150/hour, more affordable than typical NYC agencies.
About MessApps
MessApps was founded in 2014 by Vasily Malyshev, a lawyer by trade who self-taught design and development before launching one of New York's top app development companies. Their compact team of 10 employees provides full-service app development, design, and consulting. What sets them apart in the premium NYC market is their more accessible pricing at $70-150/hour compared to typical $200+/hour NYC rates. They position themselves as a blend of creative designers, tech-savvy developers, and project managers focused on helping clients achieve success through mobile technology.
Why They Stand Out
More affordable NYC agency option at $70-150/hour vs typical $200+. Founder's unique lawyer-to-developer background brings business-first thinking. Boutique team ensures senior attention on every project.
Ideal For
Budget-conscious NYC startups wanting local agency without premium prices. Founders seeking hands-on partnership with experienced small team. Companies wanting NYC presence without enterprise agency overhead.
Potential Drawbacks (Honest Assessment)
Tiny 10-person team severely limits capacity. Lower rates may reflect junior resources or offshore components. Limited scale for complex enterprise projects.
