EXO Score Summary

Excellent: the profile combines strong recognition, substantial project evidence, and positive client feedback, making Upstack Studio worth approaching with a defined brief. The profile lists 5 services, 25 focus areas, and 7 industries, but these counts do not show which delivery layers or technologies lead, leaving the service stack unclear at a glance. Buyers can inspect 14 portfolio projects; the 12 reviews carry a 5-star rating, a meaningful and highly positive sample, though below substantial volume. TechBehemoths Awards in four consecutive editions, 2022-2025, add a standout recognition record. The 10-49 person team is positioned for mid-market and enterprise clients, but buyers with large or multi-workstream engagements should confirm staffing and comparable case-study fit. The profile is domain-verified and claimed since 2022. Contact with confidence, then verify project relevance and capacity during scoping.

Reviews Summary

The profile shows 12 reviews and a 5-star rating, a strong buyer signal supported by a meaningful review sample. This carries more weight than a handful of perfect ratings, though it falls short of the substantial volume of 16 or more reviews. The rating and count together support confidence in the profile's client feedback, but they do not establish fit for your specific project. Check whether the reviews speak to work like yours and ask for relevant references before making a final decision.

Awards Summary

Upstack Studio is a TechBehemoths Award winner in each of the four consecutive editions from 2022-2025. Recognition across multiple annual editions is a strong, sustained platform signal, not a one-year distinction. It gives buyers meaningful context when comparing providers, while leaving project-specific delivery and fit to be checked against the portfolio and references. This is one of the profile's clearest strengths and supports taking the company seriously for an inquiry.

Claimed Summary

This profile is claimed and verified through a business email matching the company's website domain, the strongest accountability signal available here. The verified claim dates to 2022, so the profile is not simply an unmaintained, ownerless listing. Buyers can reasonably treat the company as standing behind the profile information, while still confirming scope, availability, and current team details directly before contracting. This is a clear strength for deciding whether to make an inquiry.

Description Summary

The profile's comprehensive description gives buyers a useful orientation to how Upstack Studio presents its expertise and approach, making initial fit easier to judge before a call. Its limit is evidentiary: a self-description states intent and positioning, not whether the team has delivered comparable work or achieved results. Use it to frame questions, then test its claims against the 14 portfolio projects, client references, and the scope of the proposed engagement. On profile evidence, this is a strong orientation signal, not proof of execution.

Portfolio Summary

With 14 portfolio projects, buyers have a solid body of published work to inspect and can assess whether the examples match their sector, scope, and technical needs. This is meaningful delivery evidence, not just a list of claimed capabilities. The count alone does not establish how comparable the projects are or what outcomes they achieved, so shortlist based on relevant examples rather than volume. Ask about the closest match to your brief and the team's role in that work. The portfolio provides a strong starting point for evaluating fit.

Other Summary

The supporting picture is complete across 8 of 8 components, with focus breadth and mid-market-to-enterprise positioning the clearest strengths. Those signals help buyers see potential technical and client fit, but they do not replace relevant delivery evidence. The main restraint is scale: a 10-49 person team may need to confirm capacity for larger or parallel engagements. Platform publishing is minimal, with 1 article, but that is a weak decision signal compared with portfolio fit and staffing. Net, the supporting profile is solid, with capacity the most useful point to verify.

Reviews summary

Upstack Studio has a uniformly top-rated record: 5.0 from 12 reviews, a meaningful sample; the average indicates all 12 are 5-star, with none below 4. The dated excerpts span 2022-2023, with the latest supplied from May 2023, so this is past-performance evidence, not a current signal. The profile gives no TechBehemoths-versus-imported review split, limiting assessment of the source mix.

Most reviewers praise quick replies and clear updates, alongside delivery to schedule; app development feedback also describes prompt bug fixes and successful launches. Several mention patient collaboration on product work, including for clients without technical backgrounds, and one reports continuing with the team for product enhancements and support.

One reviewer notes temporary delays, which the team discussed and addressed; the 5-star record includes no lower-rated account. Reviews fit the studio’s mobile-app focus but do not establish performance on projects at its $25,000+ minimum. Ask for a reference from a mobile-app engagement of comparable budget and complexity.

We worked closely with Adrian and his team during the project and their response was very quick and timely. Whenever we reach out to the team for questions, tasks, feedback, etc, they’ll get back to us as soon as they can and we’re always informed of any updates. Work is delivered on time and sometimes, they even go out of their way to complete urgent tasks which we really appreciate.

The overall experience was good, the way they understand the client's needs, spent time in communication and meetings to ensure the specifications received are complete enough, and the dedication and passion the team has are the key difference compared to other vendors. Not the type of vendor who delivered and then hands off.

Upstack Studio helped us in developing The Malaysian Insight app for Android and iOS in April 2017. This was during the Malaysian General Election, and the developers were able to deliver the product in time given the pressing timeline. We are happy with the way the app turned out. Upstack Studio are reliable and are able to cater to our need.

They launched the app successfully in a shorter timeframe than projected. It’s been well accepted by our industry peers. We’re satisfied with the number of installations we’ve seen, as its not an app that we envisioned people using every day. Their communication process was good and they integrated our change requests quite easily.
