First, a caveat on sourcing: nearly every \"top agencies\" page on this topic is written by a vendor ranking itself or its peers (the comparison pages below are BuildFire's own, the listicle is Netguru's, the partner-count stats are PixelCrayons' self-reported). Treat the names as a shortlist to diligence, not a ranking.\n\n## If clients want custom builds (your name on the invoice)\n\n1. **thoughtbot** - strongest engineering/product reputation of the group, and they explicitly sell three modes: whole product team, augmenting yours, or fractional leadership. US rates, so this is for flagship work where the client is paying for quality, not for margin. [thoughtbot.com](https://thoughtbot.com/boston)\n2. **Netguru** - ~100-person mobile org split across iOS, Android, React Native and Flutter. The right call when scope is big enough that a 6-person shop would choke, and Poland rates leave you real markup.
