A founder we spoke to spent $180,000 and 14 months with an app development agency. At launch, the app crashed under 200 concurrent users. The codebase was unmaintainable. The agency had moved on. The rebuild costs more than the original project.<\/p>\n

This is not an unusual story. It is, in fact, the modal outcome for founders and CTOs who treat choosing a mobile app development company<\/a> as a procurement decision rather than a strategic one.<\/p>\n

70% of app projects fail before launch (Foresight Mobile<\/a>, 2025). McKinsey<\/a> found 45% average budget overruns on large IT projects. Organisations that choose the wrong partner face delays of 6 to 18 months, cost overruns of 40-60%, and products that fail to engage users or generate the expected business value.<\/p>\n

The good news: the failure modes are predictable. The red flags are visible in the sales process, long before a contract is signed. And the evaluation framework that separates a right-fit partner from a plausible-sounding disaster is not complicated; it just requires asking the right questions in the right sequence.<\/p>\n

This guide gives you a 10-point evaluation framework built from analysing what goes wrong in failed app development engagements, and what the successful ones consistently did differently.<\/span><\/p>\n
