Would happily work with them again

Johan van der Merwe / Director of IT | Aug 28, 2026

Our experience with Bugloos was really positive from start to finish. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. I would recommend Bugloos to anyone looking for a dependable IoT Development partner.

Project summary

Bugloos was brought in to build firmware and a companion app for a smart device we were launching. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. We worked together for around 5 months.

Professional IT Consulting Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Charlotte Ahmed / Engineering Manager | Jul 28, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

The IT Consulting work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

We hired Bugloos to assess our architecture before a major product rebuild. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 7-month engagement.

We're a mid-sized Environmental Services company based in Manchester, UK. I'm the Engineering Manager and I oversaw the project from start to finish.

They listened, asked the right questions, and delivered

Ruben Visser / Director of Technology | Jul 25, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since.

Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We engaged Bugloos to develop and audit smart contracts for a tokenized loyalty program. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The engagement ran for about 2 months.

Capable Cloud Services team — happy with the end result

Rachel Morgan / Head of Product | Jun 11, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

The Cloud Services work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Bugloos was brought in to migrate our on-premise servers to AWS. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The project took roughly 9 months from kickoff to launch.

Josh Wilson / Owner | Mar 23, 2026

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive DevOps Services Team

Pooja Iyer / Program Manager | Feb 10, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

The DevOps Services work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes.

If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

We hired Bugloos to containerize our application and move it to Kubernetes. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. We worked together for around 5 months.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our specialized technology solutions? We have the answers to help you make informed decisions.

What Bugloos charges comes down to a handful of variables — how complex the project is, the number of development hours involved, the tech stack required, team size, and which engagement model you pick. Based on available data, Bugloos's typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

Bugloos has delivered projects across a range of different industries, including Advertising & Marketing, Education, Aerospace & Defense, Government & Public Sector and Retail & E-commerce.

The exact stack shifts by project, but Bugloos commonly works across things like React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, PHP, Flutter, React Native, native iOS and Android, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. For context, it has experience across industries such as Advertising & Marketing, Education, Aerospace & Defense, Government & Public Sector and Retail & E-commerce, and its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design.

When you're weighing up a software partner such as Bugloos, it's worth looking past the pitch and checking the portfolio, what past clients say, relevant industry background, technical range, how they communicate, pricing structure, project management style, and what support looks like after launch. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Bugloos, where you get engineers working exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team rather than as a separate outsourced unit. For context, it has experience across industries such as Advertising & Marketing, Education, Aerospace & Defense, Government & Public Sector and Retail & E-commerce, and it has been operating since 2006.

Most professional shops, including Bugloos, expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before getting into specifics — it's a fairly standard ask and a reasonable one to make before sharing anything sensitive. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design, and it has been operating since 2006.

Bugloos isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, depending on market demand and business partnerships.

It's a common line of work for a company like Bugloos — multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing hooked up properly, and cloud-native deployment built for a product meant to scale as a service rather than a one-off build. For context, it has experience across industries such as Advertising & Marketing, Education, Aerospace & Defense, Government & Public Sector and Retail & E-commerce, and its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design.

Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like Bugloos — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, it has experience across industries such as Advertising & Marketing, Education, Aerospace & Defense, Government & Public Sector and Retail & E-commerce, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.

The most reliable route is giving Bugloos a clear, specific brief up front — through their website form, a direct email, or a call — since a vague ask tends to get a vague answer back, while a concrete one usually gets a proper estimate. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design, and it has experience across industries such as Advertising & Marketing, Education, Aerospace & Defense, Government & Public Sector and Retail & E-commerce.
