Review:
AppFutura was an online business directory and marketplace for mobile application and web development projects. The site offered most of its features for free or for a comparatively low price. Companies could connect with verified digital marketing and development agencies as well as post projects to get proposals.
In comparison to other tech platforms, AppFutura was distinct because it targeted a niche sector of businesses and offered a unique way of matching companies with providers across the globe. While it had limited usage in the U.S., companies there could post projects or find development partners with the knowledge that they would get value for money.
Pros:
- Most of AppFutura's services were free.
- The platform had a simple sign-up and project posting process.
- Employers could search for developers by location, company, and services offered.
- The site hosted approved IT and marketing companies in their directory.
- The platform allowed users to post projects and receive multiple proposals.
- The site was built by developers, for developers.
- All companies listed on the site were reviewed regularly by clients and AppFutura.
- Project posters got a personal project manager assigned to them.
- The platform offered assistance from the AppFutura team with app development projects.
Cons:
- Project postings weren't the website's primary aim.
- The company did not have offices in the U.S.
- The site received minimal traffic from the U.S. each month.
Reputation:
While we could not find any independent reviews of AppFutura's project posting services, there was a testimonials page available on the website.
