A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

James Turner / Founder | Oct 11, 2026

Startup Engine did an excellent job for us. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. 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.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

Our company worked with Startup Engine to migrate our on-premise servers to AWS. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. We worked together for around 8 months.

Startup Engine Delivered a Quality Mobile App Development Solution on Time

Jonas Koch / Founder | Aug 28, 2026

We were happy with the final result. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. 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.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Maria Reed / VP of Engineering | May 17, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. 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. 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.

The Mobile App 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

They listened, asked the right questions, and delivered

Rachel Patel / Owner | Jan 13, 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.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Isla Kelly / Owner | Jan 04, 2026

The project went well overall. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.
