Kafka Studio Reviews

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Julie Roy / Co-Founder & CTO | Oct 14, 2026

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

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. I would recommend Kafka Studio to anyone looking for a dependable Game Development partner.

Project summary

We hired Kafka Studio to develop a casual mobile game from concept to launch. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 3-month engagement.

Honest advice and solid execution

Lerato Dlamini / Head of Digital Transformation | Jul 31, 2026

Kafka Studio did an excellent job for us. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

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

Project summary

Our company worked with Kafka Studio to migrate our sales team to a new CRM and set up automation. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. We worked together for around 5 months.

We were happy with the final result. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.
