How to choose a Mobile Develpment Team

There are several possibilities, each has its advantages and disadvantages.

1. Freelancer (single independent developer)
   Advantages:
   Most likely to charge low costs for his service.
   Disadvantages:
   Depending on single man is dangerous. What will you do if he suddenly decides to quit his job? 
   In addition, he has no team that can help him in case of difficulties.
2. Software Development team abroad
   Advantages:
   You can find development teams in India, China and East Europe, which have a lot of experience and skills and most likely to be chipper than local developers.
   Disadvantages:
   It's hard to check their work and progress. 
   Many times there are language difficulties which lead to misunderstandings, which cause delays and problems in the code. 
   In addition, although there are professional teams, there are also many non-professionals, which you really don't want to do business with.
3. Large development company
   Advantages:
   Obviously big company has a lot of experience and can handle complicated development. It's stable and reliable and usually doing a good job.
   Disadvantages:
   The process is slower and inflexible. You probably won't get any personal attention during the project.
   In addition, the prices are very high.
4. Local software team
   Advantages:
   They are available and flexible and the communication is more simple. 
   In addition, you will have a personal attention from the same person during the entire project. They are more stable than a single developer and there is a team that can solve any challenges rise up during the development.
   Disadvantages:
   The prices are higher than single developer or team abroad.

At the end, your choice should be according to your needs.
But there are few things you shouldn't compromise on:

• A team that will be dedicated to your App as much as you do. There is no chance for the project to succeed without dedication.
• A team that loves what it does - when you make something out of passion, you get more creative. 
• A professional and experienced team which will take responsibility and guide you through the project and afterwards. The project should be important to the team, so they will offer their opinion along the way and be involved with the design, graphics, UX/UI, implementation and even marketing.
• It's important to check whether they are capable to lead the project through all stages. You can ask for recommendations. Ask the recommending people if they got everything they expected? If the project was delivered on time? Were they available during the project and after it was done?
• You must find a team you will have chemistry with, as you are going to work together quite a lot.
• A team that will stay with you after the project is done. Soת ask right from the beginning about warranty, maintenance and support. You definitely don't want a team that disappears after the last payment. You can ask the recommending people about that as well.

Finally, I can assure you that, as a mobile development team, we also check the people we are going to work with. If we are not enthusiastic enough from the App idea or if we have no chemistry with the person, we won't take off with him. Why?
Simply because the enjoyment and satisfaction in our work, are what makes us excellent!
Good Luck!
