Verification Methodology

How we vet agencies for this directory

Unlike pay-to-play directories, our "Verified" badge is earned through a rigorous manual audit process. We reject ~40% of agencies that apply.

1 Portfolio Audit

We verify that listed apps differ from portfolio claims. We inspect App Store version history to ensure active maintenance and real user reviews.

2 Company Legitimacy

We check business registration, physical office existence, and employee headcount consistency across LinkedIn and other public records.

3 Code Ownership

We verify standard contract terms to ensure they offer "Work for Hire" agreements where you own the I.P. and source code upon payment.

4 Client References

For featured listings, we conduct interviews with past clients to verify communication quality, budget adherence, and technical capability.

Note: "Verified" does not guarantee project success. Always conduct your own due diligence using our Selection Guide.
