Agency-quality Shopify app development at competitive rates
"We spent 4 months with a freelancer who delivered an app full of bugs and then disappeared. Edesy rebuilt the entire app in 6 weeks with proper architecture, tests, and documentation. The difference in quality is night and day."

"Our freelance developer's code failed the Shopify App Store review three times. Edesy took over, refactored the codebase to meet Polaris and security standards, and got it approved on the first submission. We should have started with them."

"After two freelancers dropped our project midway, we moved to Edesy. Having a dedicated team with a project manager changed everything. Predictable timelines, daily updates, and code that actually scales. Worth every rupee."
