Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Ananya Bose / Senior Engineering Manager | Sep 13, 2026

Our experience with Doohickey was really positive from start to finish. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

The UI/UX Design work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We engaged Doohickey to redesign the user experience of our SaaS product. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. Overall it was a 2-month engagement.

Professional Mobile App Development Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Lukas Schmidt / Head of Engineering | Jun 09, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. 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. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We engaged Doohickey to develop a field-staff app with offline mode that syncs back to our main system. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. The engagement ran for about 8 months.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Generally, yes — companies like Doohickey tend to work well with startups because of what they typically offer: MVP builds, product strategy input, architecture that can scale later, and dedicated teams that keep costs manageable while still moving fast. For context, its listed capabilities span Web Development and Mobile App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

It depends heavily on scope. A lean MVP might be a matter of weeks, while a full enterprise system or a larger digital transformation project can stretch into months once you factor in development, testing, and deployment. With a team of 2 - 9 professionals, Doohickey can scale resources based on project urgency.

What tends to set Doohickey apart usually comes down to some mix of technical depth, relevant industry experience, how clients describe working with them, their development approach, communication habits, and whether they can actually deliver something that scales. Founded in 2007, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.

Like most established software teams, Doohickey typically sticks around post-launch for ongoing maintenance — bug fixes, performance tuning, security patching, new feature work, and general technical support. For context, its listed capabilities span Web Development and Mobile App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Doohickey, 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, its listed capabilities span Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it has been operating since 2007.

Doohickey 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 Doohickey — 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, its listed capabilities span Web Development and Mobile App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like Doohickey — 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 Human Resources, Aerospace & Defense, Advertising & Marketing, Gaming & Gambling, Fashion & Apparel and Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

Doohickey generally runs something close to a standard structured process — requirements gathering, UI/UX design, development in agile sprints, QA testing along the way, deployment, and support once it's live. For context, its listed capabilities span Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it reports a team size of 2 - 9 professionals.

The most reliable route is giving Doohickey 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, it has experience across industries such as Human Resources, Aerospace & Defense, Advertising & Marketing, Gaming & Gambling, Fashion & Apparel and Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology, and it reports a team size of 2 - 9 professionals.
