Let's get started on the roundup.




























































So there you have it, the 30 best app developers in . It's a pretty impressive selection with a lot of technical talent and experience. However, there are other options you should consider before going with one of these agencies.
The key question - do you even need them?
As we're about to explain, probably not.
Do you really need an app development agency?
As we've seen, there are plenty of app developers in . They'll be happy to chat about your project and are all capable of building what you want - providing you have the budget and are open to a few compromises.
These app developers have their downsides though. For a start, as you can see, they aren't cheap.
The average comes in at $100 per hour, so even to build a fairly simple set of apps you're looking at $50k+. They also tend to be busy with work, and even if they can start working on your apps right away - it'll most likely be 3-6 months to get a first version shipped (minimum). Throughout the process you'll need to work closely with them, checking in on work and communicating with the team.
This is all worth it, of course, to get great apps. But is it necessary?
No - not if you already have a website, online store, or web app.
