How this list is made

Our interest,
stated plainly.

PixelCrayons publishes this list and is a mobile app development firm itself. It is not on this list: it has no published mobile app development case study yet, and every firm needs one to be listed. ValueCoders, our sister company in the Vinove group, is left out of every list so the group never holds two places.

No firm paid to be listed or asked to be. We considered 23 firms and scored those with enough public evidence to score fairly. Every figure links to the page we read it from, with the date.

Read the full PixelCrayons Index method, or download this list as CSV. A listed firm can correct its data: email hello@pixelcrayons.com with Rankings correction in the subject line.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

It depends on features, platforms and integrations, from a simple app to a complex product. The table shows each firm's minimum project and hourly band as published on Clutch, so you can see the range first.

Every firm is scored out of 100 by the PixelCrayons Index: client reviews on Clutch, depth of mobile app work, published pricing, track record and recent activity. The weights are fixed and published, and no firm paid to be listed.

Only where it qualifies like any other firm: it must offer the service and show at least one case study in it. When it's listed, it's scored on the same evidence and weights as everyone else and sits wherever that score puts it.

Every month. Each firm's figures are checked again, the scores are recalculated, and the changelog on this page says what moved and why.

Yes. Any listed firm can send a correction with a source to hello@pixelcrayons.com with Rankings correction in the subject line. We check it, update the figure and log the change on this page.

Changelog

What changed,
and when.

Updated every month. Each edition is checked again from the sources.

  1. Google reviews added as a second client-evidence source, at half weight; Clutch figures read by hand for firms Clutch would not serve to our reader. Scores and ranks recalculated.
  2. First edition: every firm scored on figures checked on 12 October 2026.
