NetBeans

Here is NetBeans in plain terms. Apache NetBeans is a development environment, tooling platform, and application framework. The job it does: designing and building iOS and Android apps.

It makes the most sense for businesses launching or rebuilding an app. Related areas on their profile: Communities, Mobile Apps and Open Source. As a very small company team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

NetBeans is based in Redwood City, California. Their site is netbeans.org.

Before you commit, look at portfolio quality, app store experience, and maintenance terms. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.
