PURPOSE MEETS PEOPLE

Building apps that humans love to use and companies use to win.

AppIt is an international custom app development company with deep expertise in product design, technical development, and technology consulting. We operate a hybrid model, blending U.S.-based resources with near-shore and off-shore team members. Since 2012, we’ve meticulously built our world-class team, bringing together experts from varied and rich backgrounds in technology. Many of us have worked together for nearly two decades, starting on emerging technologies that have become ubiquitous today. We built this team to optimize output and maximize value for our clients—a strategy that has paid off well, especially in today’s environment when businesses are struggling to contain costs across the board.


For the clients that are looking to achieve diverse supplier goals, AppIt is not only a woman-owned business, but recognized as the #2 rated woman-owned custom tech company in the world. In addition, we are proud and honored to have been ranked in the top 10% of app developers globally by our industry peers.

OUR SERVICESCASE STUDIES
WE KNOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

From concept to execution, you can count on an experience that goes above and beyond.

We are one of the few remaining app development firms in the world that still offer fixed-bid estimates, skillfully blending waterfall and agile methodologies. We implement parts of waterfall by extensively gathering details up front and setting a fixed budget and timeline in collaboration with our clients.  This helps potential clients decide if we are a good fit for their needs.

DECIDING ON A DIRECTION

How do you want to build?

We understand the decision to build a custom product isn’t an easy one, so we hope summarizing these three common approaches addressing a technology need will prove helpful in your deliberations going forward.

Vendor

Finding the right vendor for your custom app project is extremely difficult. The barriers to entry in our industry are low, the factors that help you verify quality during the buying experience are vague, and costs are all over the board.  It’s not uncommon to see project budgets ranging from $50k to over $1M for the same exact requirements. With pricing as an unreliable validator of quality, it’s important to have a strategy for selecting your ideal development partner.

As you go through the purchasing process (scheduling calls and reviewing proposal responses), there are a few important things to watch for. Clients tell us these are common occurrences, so don’t be surprised or be put off if they happen to you.

Leadership initiatives
Short term vs long term needs
