Feedback summary: 

The existing app has fewer bugs and much-improved performance, paving the way for building the new SaaS system. Tapptitude delivers high-quality products in a timely and cost-effective manner. The team has shown ownership of the project, providing insights and communicating updates regularly.      

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 CEO and owner of My Dialogues, a mobile research platform. We have international ambitions, but our scope is confined to the Netherlands for now.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tapptitude?

We wanted to move from our initial MVP—a functional platform limited to the Netherlands—to the second version of our product—a SaaS platform that we can deploy on a global scale.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tapptitude is helping develop our app for Android and iOS devices. They also work on our platform’s web backend, database, and machine learning functionality. The team first led an audit of our existing system, evaluating what worked well and what needed to get fixed. Tapptitude then implemented analytics before started to develop the revamped platform as a SaaS tool.

What is the team composition?

We work with 6–7 people who specialize in the web, databases, apps, and other components that make up our platform.

How did you come to work with Tapptitude?

A good friend referred Tapptitude to me. They had collaborated with the Tapptitude team for over a year, and the experience went well. I also ended up choosing the team for my project because they seemed to understand my goals and have the technical skills to accomplish them. I wanted a partner who can do more for me than develop.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent over $100,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2019, and the project is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Tapptitude has reduced many of the stumbling blocks in our old system. We now have a stable platform with analytics that keeps track of bugs and performance. We’re currently working together to build a new system, moving from an app to a SaaS system.

How did Tapptitude perform from a project management standpoint?

We have daily communication with Tapptitude—even if it’s just a 10-minute call—to talk about what’s going on and what we need to do for the day. Our teams communicate through Skype, Jira, Slack, and Google Docs. Tapptitude is highly professional, staying on top of every message and taking the initiative to fix any issues. Their team’s style of project management is a positive change compared to my experience working with other development firms.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Tapptitude meets every deadline and ensures that we stay under budget. They’ve dug deep into our product, making it their own and figuring out how they can add value. The team came up with many ideas on their own to improve our platform. This level of partnership distinguishes Tapptitude from other companies I’ve collaborated with.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can only think of one thing: The project manager we worked with at the beginning of the project left Tapptitude, so we had to onboard a new project manager. That took an extra 1–2 weeks to get them up to speed, but Tapptitude took on the cost of those hours. This isn’t something I hold against them. People leave companies all the time, and if it were my employee, I’d have the same delays.

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 work for an app developer that helps founders translate their vision into products with high growth strategies.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tapptitude?

We were trying to build a complex e-commerce platform in which the requirements weren’t fully defined by the client.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve worked with Tapptitude on numerous projects. In this instance, they developed an iOS app while working in an agile iterative basis. Their team educated us on the potential risks involved so that the end-client could make good decisions about the architecture. 

What is the team composition?

Our main points of contact are Alexandru (Project Manager, Tapptitude) and Lucian (Operational Manager, Tapptitude), but we also work with a team of engineers. 

How did you come to work with Tapptitude?

We found Tapptitude on Clutch.

How much have you invested with them?

We have invested about $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in May 2018, and the work is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

The code of the app was reviewed, passing with stellar marks. Given the circumstances, Tapptitude has been fantastic. They created a strong product. At this time, the app is live and is doing everything the end-client was looking for. 

How did Tapptitude perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate with the Tapptitude team over Slack and they are fairly responsive. Anytime we needed something, they made sure to help get it done. The project was planned out in two-week sprints, which they executed accordingly. This enabled us to make progress while minimizing bottlenecks.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of their code is phenomenal.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Although we have a good partnership with Tapptitude, sometimes it feels like the project managers and the rest of the team has a lot going on. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to communicate with them. If you’re feeling a certain way, bring it up. The Tapptitude team will do what they can to make it right.

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 CMO and CTO of Palate Wizards, LLC, a company that provides technology and marketing services for beverage alcohol retailers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tapptitude?

We needed someone to create an app for beverage alcohol retailers nationwide.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’re building an e-commerce platform for the beverage alcohol, liquor industry, specifically for small retailers. We do marketing services on the platform including notifications, targeting various elements of recommendations, advertising, video, sponsorships, and more. We make money by selling to producers.

They developed our Android and iOS apps using native code. They also helped design the apps.

What is the team composition?

There’s a project manager, an iOS developer, an Android developer, a few designers, and QA people. The QA and design resources can change from time to time depending on what they’re developing for me.

How did you come to work with Tapptitude?

They did mobile development for us during a previous project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2015 and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The apps work well and we’re happy with everything Tapptitude produced. They’re great UI/UX designers and they have a good feel for how the apps work and how the consumers interact with them.

How did Tapptitude perform from a project management standpoint?

We worked in an agile development process with two-week sprints. We monitored the progress and activity using Google Meetup once or twice a week and Trello to follow the project on a daily basis.

Their project manager is an excellent communicator. They have an outstanding response time for fixing any issues. They all understand English very well and understand the issues with software development. I can’t think of a better team to work with.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their speed and efficiency at the price they charge is second to none. I’ve been in mobile development for almost 10 years and they’re the best I’ve experienced.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The time difference is sometimes challenging. However, the project manager is great at accommodating us.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure you understand how an agile development process works.

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 product manager for DineMarket, a B2B marketplace that connects restaurants with their vendors. It compares pricing and automates purchasing. I’m in charge of the technology development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tapptitude?

We hired Tapptitude to build our mobile application for Android and iOS.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

After discussing the business requirements, we worked with Tapptitude to design the mobile product for our customers’ needs. Based on the specifications, they implemented the app for iOS and Android. We had our designers, but Tapptitude took care of the UX. Their team used JavaScript for Android and Swift for iOS.

The app has various roles, as a complete B2B marketplace. Employees of restaurants can go into the app and view their order, as well as easily purchase merchandise from one or many vendors. They can pay by credit card, check, or other methods. At one point, we also had an offline mode for building the inventory for the restaurants. Vendors can also view the same app. They can log in, check their orders, and communicate with the buyer.

What is the team composition?

Our main point of contact was our project manager. We had a dedicated developer for Android and another for iOS. In addition, we had a part-time QA tester.

How did you come to work with Tapptitude?

Someone who had worked with them before recommended Tapptitude to us. Before moving forward with them, we initially gave their team a small test.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing engagement began in February 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We enjoy working with Tapptitude. Their professional team not only helped with coding, but with the entire creation of the product. We’re satisfied with how effectively the apps work.

How did Tapptitude perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management is great. We had daily contact with the developers. If we had any technical questions, they wasted no time responding. We worked in an agile manner, so everything was transparent.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We hadn’t worked with many providers, but for me, it was important that they helped build the actual product and code. Their team got extremely involved with the project, thinking of any scenarios we might have missed.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s always room for improvement, but I can’t think of anything major that their team needs to improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Tapptitude is experienced in mobile app development.

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 the director of product at PeopleFinders, a company that helps people find long-lost friends or family members. We also provide criminal records, background checks, address history, and the like.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tapptitude?

We engaged Tapptitude to build and launch native mobile apps on Android and iOS—products that our in-house developers had no experience building.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I led the product design process so that when we brought on Tapptitude, we gave them high-fidelity designs along with access to our Jira, where we already had our specifications and tickets arranged. Although we provided a relatively detailed plan for what we were making, their team made a lot of conceptual contributions to drive the development. They added a lot of value to the items that we thought were already fleshed out.  

 What is the team composition?

While other companies we spoke with insisted on pacing the project and making us build the apps one at a time, Tapptitude had enough team members to support a simultaneous development process. We worked with two developers specialized for iOS and another two for Android. A project manager and a QA specialist also worked with both teams.

How did you come to work with Tapptitude?

I used multiple reviews sites—including Clutch—to vet companies and eventually create a list of 10 options. We conducted an RFP process complete with phone calls and interviews, and Tapptitude really stood out from the pack.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $50,000–$100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from October–December 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We successfully launched our applications following a hassle-free QA period. We had no code changes through either audit. Both apps were accepted to their respective stores as-is, which in my experience—especially with Apple—is quite rare.

How did Tapptitude perform from a project management standpoint?

I appreciated their ability to communicate. As much as we wanted to dictate as the project lead, it was nice to have a team with different expertise and perspective. Their insight made us rethink our stance on what we wanted. It helped to have an additional set of eyes looking out for us rather than following directions even if they think or know there is a better way.

We had some hiccups on the release of the API we were building for the application, but Tapptitude’s team was flexible and willing to work around those delays. They met all of our deadlines even when our staff was not coordinated. Their patience showed that they value cultivating a long-term partnership more than just making money.

In addition to using Crashlytics and Fabric.io to monitor our project, we tracked all of our tickets in Jira, and we used Rocket.Chat and email for daily communication. We also had weekly phone calls to check in and review all of our progress.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It’s a common fear when working with remote teams that you may be left in the dark or not receive what was promised. Sometimes there can be a disconnect if you aren’t sitting with a person in your office. That said, we didn’t experience any hesitations or drawbacks from working with Tapptitude. They were highly communicative and always available. We found ways to work around not being in the same time zone. They grew to feel like an extension of our team, and that’s proven by the fact that we now have them on a monthly retainer, and we’ve engaged them for other projects outside of mobile apps.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Other than wishing they could be based in Los Angeles so that we could meet in person, I have no complaints. They’ve been great to work with.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

With any project, it’s valuable to let out your ideas as much as you can. Coming prepared with a prototype will save headaches and cost in the long run. It’s also smart to have a backup plan because sometimes your idea from six months ago will no longer be valid.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the senior project manager for Discogs, one of the largest online music databases and marketplaces.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tapptitude?

We were looking for a team to help develop an entirely new platform for our music marketplace.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tapptitude is helping us build a new system from scratch using Laravel. They are connecting the Discogs to our API and enabling us to connect to other platforms in the future. Along with these technologies, the team building features to allow for web-based inventory management.

What is the team composition?

The dedicated team has scaled over time, but we currently work with our project manager, three backend developers, one frontend developer, and two QA testers.

How did you come to work with Tapptitude?

After realizing we needed a different vendor for the project, we began looking at agencies and receiving referrals. We followed a recommendation for Tapptitude and had a few initial calls with their team. After assigning a design sprint in which they created a prototype, we were pleased with the results and selected them for the project.

How much have you invested in them?

We spend $25,000 a month on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in June 2018 and the project is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’re highly pleased with the results we’ve seen during beta testing. We’ve gotten several of our largest sellers to test the product and they’ve given enthusiastic, positive feedback on it. So far, they’ve been on track with deliverables and we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to launch on time.

How did Tapptitude perform from a project management standpoint?

Communicating with Tapptitude feels like working with my own team—we speak on a daily basis and we have an open line. We use Slack and have in-person meetings every few weeks. When we begin sprints, we have kick-off calls along with planning sessions with the project manager. If we have a question, we can call them for clarification and support.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We appreciate that their team focuses on creating the best possible final product. Throughout every step of the process, they have been detailed and determined. Instead of being task-based like some vendors, they look at the project as a whole. They push back to create the strongest ideas and it makes my team better.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Although we’re completely satisfied, it can sometimes take a few weeks for them to bring more resources to the project if needed. Though it hasn’t been an issue, it could be better for them to have more people available for a heavy load of work.

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 UX designer at Emotech, a London-based AI startup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tapptitude?

Our flagship product is the first home robot with personality. We call it Olly. Because of Olly’s design, there are certain things we could not achieve without a mobile app component. We relied on Tapptitude to build those mobile applications.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tapptitude coordinated the build at every step. They developed all UX/UI elements and performed the QA alongside our team. They built the app for Android and iOS using React Native.

The app is used to onboard the user to using their Olly robot. Once the user connects Olly to the internet, the app helps the user set up facial recognition and perform a personality test. After that, their robot is assigned a matching personality. The rest of the app allows users to change settings, create reminders or alarms, and receive product support.

What is the team composition?

We interfaced with a project manager, one UI designer, and one QA engineer. We worked with a team of four React Native developers, but they rotated on and off, so not all of them worked on our project at one time.

How did you come to work with Tapptitude?

As a startup, this was not a project we were prepared to bring in-house yet. We conducted market research for mobile app agencies and settled on Tapptitude based on the quality of their previous work and the design aesthetic they had achieved before.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement spanned January–November 2018.

The applications for iOS and Android are complete, but they are currently in a testing stage with our financial backers and our testers. That feedback is not entirely available yet.

How did Tapptitude perform from a project management standpoint?

We estimated a project length of about seven sprints or about 14 weeks. In comparison to what we wanted to achieve, what they delivered was a slightly scaled back version, but it was in line with the functionality required for the Olly robot at this time. They might have been a little ambitious in the amount we could get done in that timeframe, but at the same time, we are not disappointed with their project management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The developers, in particular, are proactive and regularly sought our feedback or came up with suggestions and solutions. It was a very collaborative project. They were unafraid to voice their ideas if they thought it would improve our product.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’re very happy with the design they created, but we thought they could push the envelope a little more with animation or motion. Otherwise, I think they’ve created a very clean UI.

Feedback summary: 

The apps are still in beta testing, but Tapptitude's knowledge of the mobile space and emphasis on UI have yielded positive results thus far. Deliberate project management and clear communication has been key to the success of the engagement. The team quick to understand and build on initial ideas.

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 president of WeVine. We’re a member-based mobile app for wineries.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tapptitude?

We were looking to build a mobile app from scratch. Its purpose was to help us manage membership while providing a variety of functions and tools for users.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’ve worked with us on this project from day one. We provided several basic sketches and they worked with their frontend design team to refine our ideas. Their team went on to manage all aspects of development in building native apps for iOS and Android. They also build out a web admin portal for us, which helps us track incoming applications and manage membership options. They also integrated several APIs from vendors in the wine industry, as well as an API from Intercom to enable user chat.

The user end is designed as a social platform that allows members to share updates on their winery, upcoming events, and new products with their networks. The apps have an e-commerce shop that allows users to buy individual wines and a membership portal for managing shipments. There’s also a gamification component; users can spin a wheel and post frequently to receive discounts and promo codes for products on the site. The Tapptitude team has been instrumental in expanding on our initial ideas.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a project manager and about four developers with expertise in frontend development, iOS/Android development, and API integrations.

How did you come to work with Tapptitude?

We found them while doing online research. We also worked with a designer in the past that recommended them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested over $300,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in July 2017, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’re still currently in beta testing, so it’s too early to share concrete metrics. However, the Tapptitude team has delivered high-quality code with an emphasis on UI. They’re very knowledgeable in the mobile space, and they’ve been central in laying the groundwork for a successful launch.

How did Tapptitude perform from a project management standpoint?

Their performance has been very strong. We’ve taken on this project in two-week sprints as part of an Agile methodology, which has worked well for the team. We communicate daily to stay updated on all aspects of the project with biweekly webinars to discuss progress and set updated goals for the coming sprint. I haven’t had any issues with them at all.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their overall depth of knowledge about mobile services is very impressive. They managed all aspects of development effectively, from frontend development to API integrations.

Any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to fully understand your budget and scope of work prior to development.

Feedback summary: 

Although the app has not yet been updated, the teams collaborated seamlessly and set up an efficient workflow. Tapptittude communicates clearly about their process, offers accurate cost estimates, and delivers tasks on time. Their professionalism and transparency keep productivity high.   

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 one of the co-founders of a small startup in Munich. We make a small chip that you connect to your apartment intercom to make it smart. It enables users to manage access to their apartment building from anywhere at any time. I lead mobile development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tapptitude?

We needed more manpower to speed up our app development and improve existing features as well as implement new ones at a faster pace.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We worked with them on two major features. They modified them, changed their UI, added a few smaller features, and designed a few of the app’s screens. It was mostly development, with some design as well.

The app was built for Android. The first feature allows users to create a time window within the app. During that period, the front door of your apartment building will buzz you in as soon as you ring the doorbell. If you have a grocery delivery every Wednesday between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m., you can set up a recurring time. The delivery man rings your doorbell, the door opens, he leaves the package in front of your apartment, and then he leaves. We changed how we handled things in our backend to offer multiple repetition options. Tapptitude had to adapt new payloads, endpoints, and other elements, and completely change the UI.

We’re now starting a second project with them.

What is the team composition?

I worked with one developer and one designer.

How did you come to work with Tapptitude?

I was searching for agencies and found Tapptitude on Clutch. I reached out to a few agencies and eventually chose Tapptitude. They were one of the few who started by asking questions, downloading the app, and looking at it. That’s exactly what I would have done. They asked some questions and I explained what we needed. After we clarified the unknowns, they sent us estimates. Then we signed a contract and started development.

How much have you invested with them?

The first project was about 10,000 euros [$11,795 USD].

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2018 and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We haven’t yet released an update that incorporates the changes they’ve made. We needed to coordinate the backend developers and our marketing people. It’s hard to measure anything yet, but I liked their approach and we worked really well together. They narrowed the project down and understood everything.

We had to adapt our development process to align them with our internal development processes. There were no problems from their side, and they met the deadline, so I’m happy with how things went. Their communication is clear even though we’re in different countries. They always give us a heads-up whenever they have a day off. Everything has gone smoothly, and I’m very happy so far.

How did Tapptitude perform from a project management standpoint?

We email one of their people who handles the contract, the estimates, and all of the business aspects. We use Slack and Jira.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve been very straightforward and clear from the beginning, including in their estimations. Other companies measured costs in very complicated ways and provided up to five different estimates. Tapptitude gets straight to the point and delivers on their promises. The developers don’t just do what they’re told, but also help me build something nice. They share their opinions like proper team members. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Whenever we need to adjust something, we adjust it. As long as they’re flexible to adjust to the processes and structures of their customers, it’s great. If communication is open, there’s no need to improve.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

The first phase of the product is nearly complete. Tapptitude is a full-service product development partner, and they exceed expectations by delivering more than technology alone. They’re collaborative and engaged in developing the product according to its purpose and values.

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 a co-founder and CEO of a cognitive training company focused on encouraging the use of soft skills in the context of decision making when engaging in controversial topics.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tapptitude?

We had very clear product specifications, based on which Tapptitude proposed a few different angles, taking user impact and lean development into consideration. The product we’ve developed looks different from the initial hypothesis, and it better addresses the overall problem we identified.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The product is a fully native app that uses different gestures in order to interact with exercises. We’ve had an end-to-end product development engagement with Tapptitude. We initially defined the product’s look and functionality, as well as how it would address the values of the original concept. This initial engagement helped us visualize the product and gave us an idea of what additional components we needed to develop.

From there, we defined a few phases of the development schedule, including what we wanted to achieve with every one of them. We engaged in the full development of the app.

We are starting with iOS. The app is being built using an API-first methodology. We developed many of the backend services that will also be used by the future Android app. It will take advantage of the majority of the backend services we’ve built.

Tapptitude assisted with product strategy and going to market. We will implement their advice on how to roll out the product and what channels to use to promote it.

What is the team composition?

Tapptitude’s co-founders were directly involved. We also interacted with their project/product manager and with their product designer. We have one backend and two frontend developers, as well as two QA testers.

How did you come to work with Tapptitude?

We found them on Clutch. We had a very thorough process and engaged with six different companies, four found via Clutch and the rest by recommendation. We whittled the list down and we ended up with Tapptitude.

How much have you invested with them?

Our budgetary investment has been $35,000–$50,000 for the product development side.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Tapptitude in November 2017 and the collaboration is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve gone from not having a product, to having one that users didn’t fully understand, and to a situation where users could interact with the product itself. We’re not far away from completing the first phase of development, so this is a good result. In three months’ time, we’ve delivered a majority of the product. It is set to be released in the next few weeks.

How did Tapptitude perform from a project management standpoint?

We use Trello for simplicity. We interact on a daily basis on Skype, and we use InVision for designs. Communications are particularly good. They’re very collaborative.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They didn’t merely stop at the development-related tasks. They are a full-service development partner for us, where “development” is not defined as technology development, but as product development. This is what sets them apart. They look at the problems we’re looking to solve for our target audience and at the values we want the product to reflect. They only start to work on the solution at the end.

Their love for lean development comes across clearly. Their working business model is well-aligned to our partnership.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. We’ve had a good partnership so far.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Ask for the way in which the agency normally works with a partner and what their definition of success is. Ask for recommendations and speak with people who’ve worked with the partner agency. Also, understand that “cheap” doesn’t always end up meaning “less expensive”.
