About Sidekick Interactive

Sidekick Interactive was incorporated in Montreal in August 2011, originally building iOS experiences for Quebec's tourism sector — their first project was for the Oratory of Saint Joseph, the most visited tourist attraction in Quebec. Over 15 years they expanded into complex connected-device apps, accumulating 49,700+ hours of development work. The studio now serves enterprise clients in SaaS, EV charging, GIS, IoT, manufacturing, MedTech, mental health, aerospace, and construction. Notable clients include global brands TouchTunes, ABB Group (industrial automation), Shoppers Drug Mart, HP, and Dassault Systèmes. They maintain Clutch ratings of 4.8–5.0 stars across 24 reviews and are rated on TechBehemoths, DesignRush, and GoodFirms. Their tech breadth spans React Native, Flutter, iOS, Android, AWS, Azure, .NET, and AR/VR.

Why They Stand Out

15+ years in native and cross-platform mobile with deep IoT and connected-device expertise rarely found in Canadian boutiques. Enterprise pedigree (ABB Group, Dassault Systèmes) alongside MedTech and mental health vertical depth. 49,700+ development hours on record.

Ideal For

Enterprises and scale-ups building complex iOS/Android apps with hardware integration, Bluetooth/IoT connectivity, or regulated-industry requirements (MedTech, aerospace, construction). Organizations in Montreal or Eastern Canada needing a bilingual local partner.

Potential Drawbacks (Honest Assessment)

Mid-sized team (25–50) may face capacity constraints on very large enterprise programs. Montreal time zone can add friction for West Coast clients. Some reviews note higher-than-expected cost overruns on complex IoT projects.
