How we picked them
We kept Algerian companies that build software for clients themselves (not only resell licences), with a working official website and information we could check. Then we compared them on six points:
- Knowledge of the Algerian market: cash on delivery, local online payment, Arabic and French, rules on personal data and on e-commerce.
- Technical coverage: web, mobile, business software, integrations, hosting and deployment.
- Public work: named projects you can look at.
- Pricing transparency: a published starting price or quoting method.
- Support after launch: maintenance, hosting, new features.
- Accessibility: direct contact, a stated reply time, remote work across the country.

- Fixed price or phased: an MVP is usually fixed price, then new features come in batches. Ask for payments tied to deliverables you can test.
- Hosting: ask where the app will be hosted, who pays for the server, in dinars or foreign currency, and who handles backups.
Our recommendations by profile
- Startup or founder: start with an MVP limited to the essential features. NEKST DIGITAL, Tinitec or Developatic.

- Industrial or service company outside Algiers: NEKST DIGITAL already works remotely with companies across the country; Pentabin in the west, CODEV IT in the east.
- Online retail: NEKST DIGITAL for a Shopify or WooCommerce store adapted to cash on delivery.
