| Team depth | One person covers design, code, and testing, which limits pace. | Large benches exist, though seniority on a given project varies. | Small teams of designers and developers juggle several projects at once. | 650+ app developers, designers, QA and DevOps specialists staff each pod as needed. |
|---|
| US presence and hours | Availability depends on one person's schedule and location. | Overlap with Central Time can shrink to an hour or two. | Teams share Dallas hours and can meet in person. | Our US offices and engineering hub work US business hours with Central-time overlap. |
|---|
| Contracts and IP | Contracts are often informal, and IP terms vary. | Enforcing IP terms under foreign law can be slow and costly. | US contracts and IP assignment are standard. | We sign US contracts with NDAs and full IP assignment before kickoff. |
|---|
| Compliance depth | HIPAA, PCI DSS and Texas privacy knowledge is rarely documented. | Familiarity with TDPSA and SB 1188 is often thin. | Coverage depends on each studio's sector history. | HIPAA, PCI DSS and Texas privacy checks are built into every sprint. |
|---|
| Scalability | Adding skills means hiring and managing more freelancers. | Teams can scale, though ramp-up and handovers add delay. | Bench size caps how fast a team can grow. | Specialists in iOS, Android, AI or QA join a live project within days. |
|---|
| Track record | Portfolios show individual tasks more than full products. | Volume is high, while published results are often thin. | Portfolios center on regional clients. | 5,000+ apps and 80M+ downloads back a record across 50+ countries. |
|---|
| Post-launch support | Support ends when the contract or availability ends. | SLAs exist but may sit with a different team. | Maintenance capacity competes with new projects. | Hypercare and SLA plans keep the same team on the app after launch. |
