Skilled Blockchain Development Team That Understood Our Business

Stephanie Johnson / Co-Founder & CTO | Sep 17, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We engaged Prela to develop and audit smart contracts for a tokenized loyalty program. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 8-month engagement.

Good value and a team that genuinely cares about the result

Chloe Tremblay / Co-Founder | Aug 22, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project.

Happy to recommend them.

Great Experience With Prela on Our IoT Development Project

Saud Al Harbi / CTO | Aug 15, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

Our company worked with Prela to set up a sensor network and alerts for our cold storage facilities. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. Overall it was a 5-month engagement.

Capable Mobile App Development team — happy with the end result

Sam Doyle / Founder & CEO | Jun 30, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. 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 Mobile App Development 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. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

We engaged Prela to develop a field-staff app with offline mode that syncs back to our main system. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. We worked together for around 8 months.

Our experience with Prela 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.
