Top 50 App Development Companies: 50 Brands to Look Out For

The global headcount of app developers is growing exponentially. Paradoxically, the gap between mobile and web app development expertise continues to grow as well. New trends in the field, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, IoT, cybersecurity, VR and AR, demand new competencies that companies often lack, even within in-house development teams. 

To deliver quality apps and keep on track with app development trends, companies can go for a few options. They can complement their in-house team with developers having the right expertise. Alternatively, they can partner with app development companies to run projects on a turnkey basis or in collaboration with in-house specialists. 

The challenge is, the app development market is ever-growing, competitive, and rather hard to navigate. To guide you toward a catch-all solution for your unique business needs, we have looked at the major players and evaluated them according to the following criteria:

• App development expertise (both for web and mobile)
• Key clients
• Portfolio
• Industry coverage
• Technology stack
• Pricing
