Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Derek Coleman / Managing Director | Aug 23, 2026

r5i did an excellent job for us. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We partnered with r5i to set up automated testing for our web application. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. Overall it was a 2-month engagement.

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Jack O'Brien / Co-Founder | Aug 10, 2026

We were happy with the final result. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Solid Game Development Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Pooja Reddy / Head of Digital Transformation | Jul 03, 2026

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

The Game Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We partnered with r5i to build the multiplayer features for our existing game. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The engagement ran for about 3 months.

Dependable Quality Assurance & Testing Partner for a Growing Nonprofit & NGO Business

Felix Weber / Project Manager | Jun 25, 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. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

r5i was brought in to take over manual and regression testing before each release. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The engagement ran for about 6 months.
