Also, they offer a lot of devices to test on, from Android 6 and up and iOS devices starting from 9. We appreciated having our choice of what devices we wanted to test the applications on.

No. We’ve had a pleasant experience working with SnoopGame QA. They gave us a lot of advice on what should be done from the UI/UX perspective and technical parts.

Try them out. Give them a short task and see how they do if you’re worried about the quality or processes. If you don’t have a tracking system like Jira, they can set it up themselves.
