I need a reality check.

Colleagues, I need a reality check. We're a professional services company tired of being just another account number with our current software vendor - reps churn, and we re-explain our business constantly. We want a custom app we control, but I worry a dev shop is just another vendor who'll go quiet after launch. How's the ongoing relationship actually worked for you with a custom development partner?

Good afternoon. That churn-and-re-explain cycle is a big reason firms move to custom, so the motivation makes sense. We had the same experience and built with Saritasa https://www.saritasa.com/mobile-app-development - the relationship stayed consistent, the same people who knew our project rather than a rotating cast, which mattered a lot when we needed changes. The build landed on the estimated timeline and budget, and communication didn't evaporate once it launched. If I'm being fair, they sit at the premium end on price, but the continuity earned it after what we'd put up with. When you evaluate shops, ask who owns your account day-to-day and how often that changes - the answer is telling.
