What do you like best about lemon.io?

The coding Ninja staff is a great combo of supreme customer support and knowledgeable programmers. They have consistently delivered great results. I have found their turn around time and pricing to be very reasonable. I return to them every time I need programming done.

Because I don't consistently have web work (I am mainly a print designer) I cannot maintain them on a monthly basis so I pay a slightly higher rate and just add money hourly. That works great for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lemon.io?

I really have had great experiences with them - no complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering lemon.io:

Go for it :) I'm sure you will have a positive experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lemon.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a designer and I work with Wordpress as well, but there are aspects of web programming I can't do on my own. I've used Coding Ninjas to take care of those more complicated aspects. Because I am a designer, I am very particular about the implementation of the designs I make. They worked with me until I was 100% satisfied.

Their programmers are really very knowledgeable and were able to implement what I asked of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about lemon.io?

It's been a good experience with Lemon, I've applied May 2023, had two interesting projects so far and it's been great! The community is collaborative and responsive as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lemon.io?

Sometimes the new projects may not be a lot for a month or two, and sometimes they are not relavant to the main skills, but maybe it's the job market these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lemon.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

The lemon.io website can be faster and the subscription can be integrated with the website itself instead of launcing a spearate one.

Let's try to increase Flutter app development oppurtuities.

A compliment to their time logs, that it can also be done right on Slack, I appreciate this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So, lemon.io is the only international platform that I could get a US/EU-based project. Most platforms are only job boards but not lemon.io. Lemon.io is a community, when some friendly lemon comes with a project for you they know you are a good fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about lemon.io?

When I joined, it took a while for them to actively send me job offers, but as soon as they started, several offers came my way. I had a small problem with the first customer (it wasn't Lemon's fault), but I ended up having to redo an internal process again. For the second client, everything went well, an excellent team, and everyone paid on time, without any problems. I have only positive feedback. The hourly rate is above the average for other outsourcing companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lemon.io?

Negotiations are strictly hourly, therefore, there are no benefits other than this, such as vacations. You must plan correctly and define your hourly rate considering these "built-in extras", as you will only be paid for the hour/day worked. This is not necessarily a negative point, just something to keep in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lemon.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

They find clients that area searching for developers, making it easier to match with a job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about lemon.io?

Very helpful in finding projects that match my skillset and interests. Very attentive team, payments received on time.

Also, they join and observe most client interviews, give you some pointers before the call and discuss how it went after.

One such calls, I felt the client was being somewhat fishy, and the person from Lemon agreed. So we decided to have one more call with them to get some things cleared and if it still didn't feel right, turn them down. which we did. I highlight this as it shows Lemon really has the dev's best interest in mind.

They found a great match for me and I worked for 8 months with that client through Lemon, before I was offered an indefinite contract. Nice to know that i'm still part of Lemon and could go back to finding clients with them, as long as it's been over a year since I got hired by the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lemon.io?

No paid vacations or time off. Not really bad, just something to keep in mind when you set your hourly rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lemon.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finding projects and client that match my skills.

Handling the payments so i'm better protected from issues with clients, get paid on time and get help when negotiating my rate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
