Why Boston chooses Dafe

The Boston mobile app development partner that ships to the App Store and Google Play.

Boston is part of MIT, Harvard and Longwood Medical Area feed a strong pipeline of biotech, EdTech, robotics and consumer health mobile apps. To win the home-screen here you need an app that loads fast, looks native, survives App Store review, and scales as your install base grows. That's exactly what Dafe Software builds.

Launch in 8 to 16 weeks

Your Boston mobile app goes from kickoff to App Store US & Google Play US in one quarter or two, depending on whether you choose native or cross-platform.

One accountable squad

A senior PM, mobile designer and 2 to 4 iOS and Android engineers focused exclusively on your build. No agency hand-offs, no junior bait-and-switch.

App Store-ready code

Tested, instrumented, CI/CD-ready code that passes Apple and Google review the first time, with crash-free release tracks and rollback plans.
