  • Start by agreeing the first deliverable, responsible people and acceptance checks with us.

When to shortlist bitsfabrik

  • Smart TV platforms or native mobile work from its published portfolio are central to the brief.1
  • It publishes web development and CMS work alongside its app offer.3

Questions to ask before you choose

  1. For product ownership around your app or custom platform, what must the first phase cover?
  2. What should be checked before an app takeover?
  3. Do we control repositories, signing keys, store accounts and the device-release process?

Commercial risk to watch

  • Ask both providers for the initial commitment, payment schedule, termination terms, taxes, support and change process.
  • Compare the same deliverables and responsibilities. A developer hire, an assessment, a managed build and automated test coverage are different purchases.

Evidence notes

  • Published competitor descriptions are vendor statements, not independently measured results.
  • Wavect’s recommendations reflect its commercial interest. No price advantage, faster delivery or legal certification is established by this page.

Project fit: not limited to small builds

Project size and provider headcount are separate decisions. Wavect’s delivery unit is a named senior core, but that does not limit the work to MVPs or short startup projects. Larger projects are split into phases with separate budgets and acceptance criteria. We also build internal systems and process automations inside a client’s existing repositories, tooling and workflows. A vetted bench supports continuity and scope-specific capacity. A larger provider may still be the better choice when the main requirement is several parallel teams, an incumbent framework agreement or certifications Wavect does not currently hold.

FIRST DELIVERABLE

What should be checked before an app takeover? Ask bitsfabrik for the first deliverable, acceptance checks and named owner. Confirm which work in the scope outlined here its proposal includes.

For Wavect, compare a scoped development build or weekly retainer with the work in the other proposal. Separate implementation from leadership, support and changes; obtain the actual total for the phase.

Is Wavect an alternative to bitsfabrik?

Wavect is an alternative to bitsfabrik when you want founder-led roadmap decisions and a defined app build or takeover phase. Software development bitsfabrik publishes native iOS and Android development, web development and Smart TV apps.1

Is your app brief about a new build, an existing product or TV and streaming?

For an app takeover, start with repository access, build reproducibility, store accounts and the release backlog. For a new app, define the first user journey and supported platforms. A TV or streaming project adds device-specific constraints that should not be hidden inside a generic app quote. Ask both teams for relevant platform evidence and a plan for releases and maintenance.
