Reviews on Sommo

no-code agency studio client

Great choice for MVPs!

Luckily, we discovered Sommo through a mutual friend and that dramatically changed the timeline of our project (from 6 months to one)! These guys can just speed up your development at least 5x. Great choice for MVPs!

Build your MVP product with Sommo!

I was very lucky to come across the team to build our MVP. Andriy, his team and I would have weekly calls to ensure that the project timeline would not delay. The result – the project was completed 4 days before the timeline! We are testing the market now and will continue working with the team for our v2. Overall, a very professional and friendly company to work with.

It was my first time opting to build a product with no-code, so finding the right developers was crucial for me.Sommo turned out to be exactly what I needed – they provided a fair estimate, delivered on time, and offered excellent support even after the development was complete. I intend to collaborate further with these guys in the future.

They team that I have worked with at Sommo have been nothing short of amazing: they have done what they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it and have done so with communication that has been professional, personable and patient/empathetic as they have waited for me to navigate some of the unforeseen hurdles that have come with being a first-time business owner. I couldn't recommend them more.

I worked with Sommo on a MVP and their no-code solution exceeded my expectations. The team was knowledgeable, agile and professional- I had a great time working with them and recommend them to any founders looking to get a MVP off the ground quickly.

I have been looking for an agency for a very long time that thinks entrepreneurially, proceeds efficiently, and always remains patient. Andriy and his team are excellent. They have developed an app in the last 3.5 months and fully involved me. Always transparent, organized, and perfectly coordinated, they delivered on point.

Sommo is a great company to work with

Communication was very efficient and quite responsive. A massive advantage is that they can provide different resources with different skills needed from Bubble Dev, UI Design, Project Management and classic coding. I was happy to work with and highly can recommend the team. We finished the project in time and budget.

This team is incredible

This team is incredible. I have hired them for three months now, and they have worked on my company's web-based app MVP and continue to implement new features for us. What makes it easy to work with them is their professionalism and great project management.

Hire the Sommo team with confidence!

You're in very good hands with Andriy and his team - move forward and hire them with confidence. They delivered my working MVP in under two months, just as promised and continued to make bug fixes, slight improvements, etc after delivery. I look forward to hiring them again in a couple months to start building V2.0.

20% increase in traffic and reduction in bounce

Sommo helped us tremendously to migrate our website from Tilda to Webflow. After that, we continued our collaboration working on the Bubble projects. We tested and developed multiple MVP/product ideas.

Great Experience!

Given our early stage we had to be tight on budget and timeline, so Andriy and Roman introduced us to the no-code/low code approach. We're very satisfied with our experience working with the team and look forward to continuing working together as we scale our product in the near future.
