Why quotes for the same app differ, what sits behind the screens, the store rules that add work nobody quoted, and why an app is a yearly cost.

What one client who interviewed fifteen vendors chose on, why the usual checklist could not separate them, the three tests that can, and the eight questions to send every vendor in writing.
