Sloboda Studio provided from-scratch development on an app for psychological testing, allowing simultaneous matching using multiple subjects. After deployment, they will assist with future updates.
The completed engine currently supports experiments successfully and meets all requested specifications. Sloboda Studio’s problem-solving focus, cost-effective workflow, and expert feedback continue to ensure a viable final product.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am a university researcher working on a side project. It is a platform for conducting psychological experiments with multiple subjects at the same time, which I plan to expand into a for-profit solution.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Sloboda Studio?
I needed a matching engine which could group several individuals on a trading platform. I had used outsourcing companies which weren’t as good as I expected, and I was looking for someone who could solve the issue of matching potentially hundreds of individuals.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
From a visual perspective, I had already made a basic design for the platform; it had been implemented already, but it had a poor engine. Sloboda Studio rebuilt it from scratch, using the same visual framework. The software was developed using Ruby on Rails and some Java.
How did you come to work with Sloboda Studio?
I shortlisted some companies on Upwork. I moved away from the idea of using single freelancers working on their own. I wanted to find companies that had multiple resources, as well as reputations which they couldn’t afford to lose, which I why I selected Sloboda Studio.
How much have you invested with Sloboda Studio?
The cost of Sloboda Studio’s work has been around 100,000 Danish Krone [$14,600] so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Sloboda Studio around a year ago. I have some further plans, but I’m using the system for my experiments at the moment. I will definitely use Sloboda Studio again.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or impact of the engagement?
The quality of the work is great. From a service and project management perspective especially, Sloboda Studio is very good. I haven’t tested the engine’s limits, but it’s working within the agreed specs. I don’t expect it to handle many thousands of individuals at once, but it can do what I need it to do now.
How did Sloboda Studio perform from a project management standpoint?
Sloboda Studio was referred to me by another one of their clients, who also told me about Slack, which is a great platform for these types of projects. We can communicate via different channels, and I was able to provide feedback and address questions as if Sloboda Studio’s team was working in the same office.
What did you find most impressive about Sloboda Studio?
Sloboda Studio is a customer-minded company. They are willing to go out of their way to understand and solve problems. Sloboda Studio was also easy to contact and always available.
Are there any areas Sloboda Studio could improve?
Our lead programmer was changed twice during the project, as was the project manager. I would have liked to continue using the same people.

Sloboda Studio developed an internal ERP solution from scratch, operating as an extended part of the in-house team. They now apply their acquired React Native skills by creating a mobile app.
In addition to delivering on-target solutions within the established timeline, Sloboda Studio also learned new skills to support the initial pilot project. Their flexibility in adapting to requirements and adherence to the workflow continue to promote a successful relationship.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the co-founder and CTO of Battere. We’re a Switzerland-based company. We rent power packs in convenience stores for people who are on the go and run out of battery. Our rental batteries come pre-charged with solar power.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Sloboda Studio?
We have two projects with Sloboda. The first one is a Ruby on Rails application that we use internally to track our production processes. The second one is a mobile application, where we used the React Native framework and Node.js.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
The initial project was the internal ERP [enterprise resource planning] system, and then we started with the React Native project on top of that. The first project ran for the first year and a half, and the last six months have been spent on the second project. Both projects were built by Sloboda Studio from scratch.
How did you come to work with Sloboda Studio?
At my previous company, I was working with a different Ukraine-based agency which specialized in Python and Django. I had a good experience working with Ukrainians in general. A friend recommended Sloboda to me because I was looking for a React agency this time. We also contacted Russian and American agencies, especially for the React Native part, the frontend. At the time, Sloboda was not offering React Native as a service. In the end, we decided to go with Sloboda, and one of their JavaScript developers actually learned React Native on this project.
We had a pilot program with them, and it turned out well. I preferred to stay with Sloboda, rather than going to a more experienced agency in React Native because I know it’s hard to find a good agency, and I was happy with what I had. I was ready to take that risk.
How much have you invested with Sloboda Studio?
Sloboda works like an extended part of our team, so it’s not project-based. We have two developers from them, and they work as part of our internal team. It’s hard to say what the product costs are, but our total cost has been between $10,000–$50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project began in 2015, and the relationship is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or impact of the engagement?
We don’t have metrics, but I can say that the quality of the developers from Sloboda Studio is good. As a CTO, if I wasn’t happy with the quality, we wouldn’t have been working with them for almost two years. They met the expectations of the project regarding deliverables.
How did Sloboda Studio perform from a project management standpoint?
I’m very happy with that. I don’t have any bad experiences in project management with Sloboda Studio.
What did you find most impressive about Sloboda Studio?
I really like their flexibility in terms of adapting to the customer's needs. I wanted to do a lot of my apps in React Native. Sloboda didn’t offer the service, but they agreed to start a pilot project, and now it’s a success. I think that was really cool. I didn’t have to resort to another agency.
Are there any areas Sloboda Studio could improve?
I have nothing to suggest. I’m really happy with the relationship.

Inspired by existing designs, Sloboda built an event management platform with e-commerce features using Ruby on Rails. A mobile version is also being developed.
The customized system is more reliable than similar products in the market, which is largely due to the quality of Slododa’s work. The assigned dev is knowledgeable and responsive, proactively suggesting improvements for the product.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We organize IT business conferences for executives as well as sales and business development managers in Ukraine and Belarus. We are also planning our first conference for the Polish market. We hold classes for sales and business education. I am the chief operations officer of the company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Sloboda?
We were looking for a system that could give us the opportunity to manage the participants list, schedule, and staff. It should also let us sell tickets and handle other tasks during conferences. Our competitors typically use Red Payments for this task, but we were not willing to pay 7%–10% of a ticket's price for the operation. We decided to create our own system for processing payments, and it proved to be a good decision. A week before a big event, one of the biggest systems of this kind on the market crashed. It could have been catastrophic for us, so we've seen the importance of developing these solutions ourselves.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We had already designed two screens, and Sloboda created the rest of the interface based on the style of our initial work. They also worked on the development and provided consultation on what would be the most suitable choices for our platform. We are working on a mobile version of the site at the moment.
How did you come to work with Sloboda?
I also live in Kharkov, where Sloboda is located, so I'd heard a lot about the company. I had also met their CEO. It was important for me to start a project with someone I could trust.
How much have you invested with Sloboda?
The cost of Sloboda's work has been $70,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Sloboda 2 ½ ago. We are in preparation for the Poland conference in April 2017 and continue to work with Sloboda.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?
I am quite happy with the decision I've made, and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else. If I have a problem, I can write to my developer from Sloboda's team and know that he will address it even after hours.
How did Sloboda perform from a project management standpoint?
We are usually within budget. There have only been a couple of critical moments due to an update to the payment system. Sloboda's project manager is always there to help me. We communicate face to face and follow a Scrum process for setting up tasks. This is a comfortable approach for me.
What did you find most impressive about Sloboda?
Our developer is a very knowledgeable person and is able to propose additional or alternative features for our platform.
Are there any areas Sloboda could improve?
We could use more developers since the work can be too much for a single person.
