The Top 9 App Development Agencies in Shanghai
China's vibrant city, Shanghai, is a hub for innovation, especially in e-commerce, fintech, and AI. Its dynamic environment mirrors the rapid tech evolution seen across the country.
Shanghai has plenty of app development agencies, but it isn't always easy to choose the right ones.
Online directories are plagued by companies gaming the results and spoofing their locations, with many located nowhere near Shanghai. There are also some unreliable outfits that don't really offer the services they claim!

So there you have it, the best app developers in Shanghai. Go ahead and contact them, or do further research to make a decision.
Firstly though, one question..... Do you really need an app development agency?
As we've seen, there are plenty of app developers in Shanghai who can build decent apps.
They have their downsides though. For a start, they aren't cheap, and basic apps will likely set you back $50k+. They also tend to be busy with work, and even if they can start working on your apps right away - it'll most likely be 3-6 months to get a first version shipped (minimum).
This is all worth it, of course, to get great apps. But is it necessary?
No - not if you already have a website, online store, or web app.
