React Native agency Europe - what to look for?
A React Native agency in Europe should show live App Store and Google Play apps, deliver in English with CET overlap and offer fixed price after DDT - GMI Software from Gdansk: 50+ store apps, Clutch 4.9★, rates often 30-50% below a comparable US agency at the same seniority (Clutch and GMI portfolio data, 2026).
Why Europe (and Poland nearshore)?
UK, DACH and US companies look for a React Native development company in Europe for timezone overlap (CET with London and Berlin), engineering quality and lower cost than Bay Area on the same stack (TypeScript, Expo, React Native).
Poland is a major EU nearshore hub - HackerRank and Stack Overflow Developer Survey reports show strong JavaScript/TypeScript talent in CEE, which shortens onboarding on RN + Next.js projects.
React Native agency selection checklist
1) Production apps - not mockups. 2) Stack - Expo, EAS, TypeScript, tests (Maestro/Detox). 3) Backend - agency owns API, ERP and payment integrations. 4) Pricing - DDT + fixed price vs open-ended T&M. 5) Ownership - full code rights after paid milestones.
GMI Software ticks these boxes: SFD case (100k+ downloads, 4.9★), React Native app development as an agency service with price guarantee after discovery. Technical compendium on our React Native technology page.
GMI engagement model for international clients
English as project language, 2-week sprints, demo every iteration, client-side Product Owner. Start: DDT workshop - output is MVP backlog and fixed-price ranges.
Typical commerce/loyalty MVP: EUR 18,000 - 28,000, 3-5 months to stores. Cost details: React Native app development cost 2026 article.
