What Our Clients Say
Scorchsoft helped us take our idea for an app and make it a reality. Everything from the planning meeting to decide what we really needed to the project management and execution was great. It was delivered on time - early in fact - and on budget. Highly recommend.
Rebecca PalserDragonfly IntelligenceScorchsoft is a brilliant company with fantastic knowledge of the mobile app industry. From the project management to the development team, they have been the perfect candidate for our project, and we can't thank them enough!
Lance ChorltonGapped OnlineWe're really pleased with the work Scorchsoft has done in developing our web portal! They have been accurate with timelines and budget, delivering a solid product that allows us to monitor and manage patients remotely while they use our novel medical device at-home. The "plan - design - build" approach has worked well and saved us time in the long-run by catching requirements and issues early.
Daniel GreenSensTrainI'm really pleased with how my app came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. The team at Scorchsoft are great at what they do and made the whole process as simple and easy as possible. Being someone who is not very tech savvy the set up and back end operations were done in a great easy to use manner even for myself which makes using my app stress free. Thanks to all the team!
Ruben CarrollMosaic MasterpiecesThe new Flourish Education website has already removed a lot of manual processes, freeing up both schools, candidates and internal employees time. We are delighted with the look and feel which is clean, professional and more engaging. We are also pleased with the decision to have an HD video background on the homepage, and building immediate trust with our clients by giving them a taste of what it looks like in the Flourish Education offices.
James HancocksMarketing Manager, Flourish Education I can't believe how quickly we started to see results with this project. Scorchsoft provided us with graphic-designed mockups of how the app would look once built, and we were able to sell the product for use by our first customer before the product was finished. Since launching in March, we have secured a major television network as a client who now uses Image Approvals to manage the talent approval process for their productions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Building an App
The questions we hear most from people who are about to build an app for the first time.
It depends on what the app has to do and how many platforms it runs on. A focused first release sits at the lower end; a multi-platform app with integrations and an admin portal sits higher. We give you an indicative figure in our first conversation and a fixed cost for the first release once scope is agreed. Request a free quote to get a number for your idea, or read our guide to app development cost.
Scoping takes days, not weeks. A first release typically goes live in a matter of weeks through our Velocity Sprints process, with working software shown to you every few days. Larger apps are released in stages so the parts that matter most go live first.
Yes. Many clients come to us with a rough idea and nothing written down. Our app planning and scoping workshops turn it into a clear feature list, timeline and budget before any code is written, so you know what you are building and why.
If your users are on the move, start with a mobile app. If they sit at a desk, a web app or portal is usually faster to build and easier to roll out. Many projects end up with both on one shared back end, and we can advise which to start with in a free strategy call.
Yes. Once the work is paid for, the intellectual property in the bespoke code we write belongs to you, and we hand over the source code and documentation. You are never locked into Scorchsoft to keep your app running.
We host, monitor and support the apps we build, and most clients keep a small retainer to add features as the business changes. Our ongoing development and support service covers updates, app store releases and security patches.
Yes. Scorchsoft's developers, designers and project specialists are an in-house team in Birmingham. Delivery is not outsourced offshore, so the people you meet in scoping are the people who build and support your app.
