We’ve had a strong collaboration and great experience with CodeStore. To be honest, this has been a surprising experience for me. I’ve had a long experience working with offshore and near-shore companies, and it’s sometimes difficult to have interactions with such companies. However, CodeStore is different — they’re highly proactive. They always suggest good approaches in terms of addressing issues. Overall, our partnership has been truly satisfying.

Everyone from the CodeStore team has been great. They’ve met our deadlines and budget, and the team even goes the extra mile. They deliver everything according to our agreement. Moreover, since we’re a startup, we’re refining our requirements. They’ve been flexible and open to discussing those adjustments and goals.

CodeStore is quite good at focusing on what they know. They don’t pretend to be experts in areas where they’re not. This has helped establish a good level of trust between us. They don’t oversell themselves but believe in what they can do.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there aren’t any. They should keep up the good work.
