Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Pooja Iyer / Founder & CEO | Sep 14, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

Our company worked with Pen on Paper Technologies to run user research and create new designs for our mobile app. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 9-month engagement.

Skilled Software Development Team That Understood Our Business

Amit Mehta / Co-Founder & CTO | May 21, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Pen on Paper Technologies. 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. 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.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned.

I would recommend Pen on Paper Technologies to anyone looking for a dependable Software Development partner.

Capable AI & Machine Learning team — happy with the end result

Huda Al Harbi / Co-Founder & CTO | Feb 19, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks.

I would recommend Pen on Paper Technologies to anyone looking for a dependable AI & Machine Learning partner.

Great Experience With Pen on Paper Technologies on Our Software Development Project

Lerato Botha / Head of Engineering | Jan 31, 2026

Pen on Paper Technologies did good work for us, and we would use them again. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. Happy to recommend them.
