According to [Clutch.co](https://clutch.co/) and [G2 Crowd](https://www.g2crowd.com/), for the past several years Koombea and Appster have been taking turns being recognized as leaders in the category of [Top B2B Service Providers](https://www.koombea.com/press/koombea-clutch-top-developers-latin-america/), as well as various other categories. Above and beyond the recent news of Appster’s collapse, [Koombea](https://www.koombea.com/) is generating strong partnerships with [MedTech](https://www.koombea.com/industries/health-services/) services such as Luna Care and FinTech solutions like Payix, in addition to evolving its own API integration businesses.

The success in these partnerships validates Koombea CEO Jonathan Tarud’s strategy to reinvent Koombea as the best global software development partner of choice.

By and large, Koombea is a company that is immune to issues such as a lack of knowledge of the latest tech stacks, over committing to customers, and poor corporate financial planning.

The same cannot be said for Appster, who [struggled with their reputation](https://www.smartcompany.com.au/startupsmart/news-analysis/appster-collapses-liquidation/) as an app factory after consistently delivering broken code and bad designs. Some of their clients complained of being left tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket for unfinished, poor-quality apps. These businesses are now left empty-handed, unable to recoup their investments.

Marketing hype, large company size, and investor backing do not always mean you will get a quality outcome from a development partner, and this has been Appster’s biggest criticism as of late.

Koombea, ironically enough, has avoided much of this scrutiny. While business owners around the globe are scrutinizing app developers, Koombea has managed to stay out of the fray, mainly due to it’s 11+ year proven process, and commitment to delivering high-quality products and clean code.

When you are a tech business, marketing is not enough. You have to have the necessary management and technical proficiencies in place to be successful.

At Koombea, we have team of developers who are experts in a diverse range of fields, and who are able to take an entirely consultative approach with each and every one of our clients.

Appster’s collapse should serve as a warning to entrepreneurs and businesses to [choose your app development partner](https://www.koombea.com/blog/how-to-choose-app-development-partner/) wisely.
