What to Check Before Hiring an Offshore App Development Company
Company size, ratings, and hourly rates do not give the full picture. Check the proposed team, project estimate, security documents, working hours, and contract terms before hiring a company.
Development Team
Check the names, roles, and experience of the engineers assigned to the project. A large development team does not guarantee that senior engineers will work on the application. Confirm who will work on the project and how the company handles engineer replacements.
Project Estimate
Check the estimated hours and hourly rate for each role. One quote may cover design, development, QA, deployment, and project management. Another may charge for some of this work separately. Compare the work, hours, and rates before comparing the final price.
Security Documents
Review the documents that support the company’s security claims. ISO 27001 certification is different from ISO 27001 alignment. A SOC 2 compliance statement is also different from an audit report. Check current certificates and audit reports when the project has specific security requirements.
App Store Accounts
Publish the app through Apple Developer and Google Play accounts owned by the business. Give the development company access for development and submission without transferring account ownership. The business keeps control of the app listing, reviews, users, and future releases after the project ends.
Source Code and Project Access
Keep source code repositories and deployment systems under business-controlled accounts. The contract should clearly state when intellectual property transfers and what the development company delivers when the project ends.
Own the accounts, share the access

Working Hours
Compare the working hours of the offshore and internal teams. Large time differences can delay decisions and project work. Set meeting times and response times before development begins.
