Mobile Developer Rankings 2015 Results

Hi, Habr! Last year we launched and published (the post on Habré was received by the community quite positively) the first rating of mobile developers.

A year has passed, and we will publish the results of the second single rating of mobile application developers in 2015 . We have a rather clever (but absolutely transparent) method that takes into account the positions of companies in all other industry ratings that were published in 2014. It must be said that the market is growing very fast, as new ratings appear. Last year we analyzed five local tops, in this one already nine (and two of those five managed to close on the way). As in the past year, we took into account only companies that are engaged in custom development, and do not make their own products.

Mad Robots from Redmadrobot headed the rating in 2015, St. Petersburg's e-Legion ranked second, amazingly fearless developers from Unreal Mojo ranked third, Articul Media ranked fourth, and CleverPumpkin's five smart pumpkins closed (again, St. Petersburg guys ).

In the top, unlike the previous year, there were quite a lot of integrated digital agencies, and there was a discussion in social networks about whether to consider them as players in the mobile development market (if some even do not have mobile developers in the state). Arguments can be different, but as for me - if a company provides a client with a service, leads a project and guarantees quality - then there is not much difference if they have a development in their staff or they take a subcontract. It also shows the growing market - the emergence of agencies is one of the litmus papers that more attention is being paid to the mobile segment.

The “Western” trend, which we noted last year, remains relevant. A significant number of companies engaged in the development of custom applications have a full-fledged English-language version of the sites and often indicate its “default”.

This is a significant difference of the mobile segment from other segments of the digital market: Russian mobile developers are much more focused on cooperation with Western companies than digital productions, SEO companies, contextual advertising agencies.

It is worth noting that at this time two multidirectional factors influence this situation. On the one hand, there is a negative effect on the external economic situation and sanctions, many customers are less willing to turn to Russian companies. On the other hand, given the serious decline in the ruble exchange rate, the cost of services of Russian developers has become much more affordable for a foreign customer, which stimulates demand.
