What do you like best about thoughtbot?

They are actually the thought-leaders in the space (no pun intended). Not only are they excellent at their craft, but they taught my entire team best practices in product management, bug bashing, managing burnout of engineers, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about thoughtbot?

They are of course expensive, but truly worth every penny if you're able to afford it, especially if you don't have any existing technical talent or leadership and need a team who can self-manage and you don't need to worry about whether they are handling your product with the true care it deserves -- I never had to worry about that with Thoughtbot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering thoughtbot:

If you want a devshop to build something exactly to your specifications, Thoughtbot gets the job done, but if you want a devshop who is willing to intellectually spar with you, challenge your assumptions, and build you something better than you imagined -- go with Thoughtbot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is thoughtbot solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were building the MVP of our software solution for doctors, and needed a brilliant devshop to build the foundation of our product as we slowly hired our own internal team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would recommend thoughtbot for any work on building a website using the iterative approach! The majority of our work with thoughtbot was done in-person out of their Boston office, but now they are a fully virtual business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is thoughtbot solving and how is that benefiting you?

thoughtbot created a website for us and has entered into a steeply discounted maintenance contract with us because they sincerely believe in our mission.
