Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Eric Graham / Engineering Manager | Sep 17, 2026

Chess Digital did an excellent job for us. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

Chess Digital was brought in to run performance and load testing ahead of a big launch. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The project took roughly 7 months from kickoff to launch.

Dependable Game Development Partner for a Growing Nonprofit & NGO Business

Our experience with Chess Digital was really positive from start to finish. 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.

Would happily work with them again

Ethan Leblanc / Managing Director | Jun 06, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. I would recommend Chess Digital to anyone looking for a dependable E-commerce Development partner.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Emily Evans / CEO | May 16, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. 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.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We hired Chess Digital to build a quick MVP on a low-code stack to test our idea. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 8-month engagement.
