Jolly

Jolly is a global open professional network the Trust Economy. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. Alongside the main category they mention Freelance and Sharing Economy. As a very small company team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Jolly is based in Austin, Texas. Their site is jollyhq.com.

Our checklist for this category: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Jolly, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
