It runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and is Google&#8217;s officially preferred language for Android development. It was designed to be more concise and safer than Java while remaining fully compatible with it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In practice, this means a team can use Kotlin and Java in the same project, reuse existing Java libraries and migrate gradually, without rewriting everything from scratch.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Today, Kotlin is used on four main fronts:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>Android:<\/strong> native apps, with Jetpack Compose for building user interfaces;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Backend:<\/strong> JVM services and APIs, with frameworks such as Spring Boot and Ktor;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multiplatform:<\/strong> code shared across Android, iOS, desktop and web through Kotlin Multiplatform;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Artificial intelligence:<\/strong> integration with language models and the development of AI agents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The origins of Kotlin: from JetBrains to Google<\/h2>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Why JetBrains created Kotlin<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">JetBrains, the company known for development tools such as IntelliJ IDEA, worked with large Java codebases. The team wanted a more productive language, with less boilerplate and more safety, without leaving the JVM ecosystem behind. Since no existing option met those criteria, the company decided to build its own.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The name has a curious origin: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kotlin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kotlin is an island near Saint Petersburg<\/a>, Russia, where part of the original development team was based. The choice followed the tradition of Java itself, which is also named after an island.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">2017 and 2019: the Google boost<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The turning point came in 2017, when Google announced official support for Kotlin on Android. In 2019, the company went further and declared Android <em>Kotlin-first<\/em>: new APIs, documentation and tools began to prioritize the language. From then on, enterprise adoption accelerated.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">15 years of evolution<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin turned 15 in 2026. These are the main milestones, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">State of Kotlin 2026<\/a> report by JetBrains:<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Year<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Milestone<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>2011<\/td>\n<td>JetBrains announces Kotlin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2016<\/td>\n<td>Version 1.0 is released<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2017<\/td>\n<td>Google announces official support on Android<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2018<\/td>\n<td>JetBrains and Google establish the Kotlin Foundation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2019<\/td>\n<td>Android becomes Kotlin-first<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2023<\/td>\n<td>Kotlin Multiplatform becomes stable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2024<\/td>\n<td>Kotlin 2.0 ships with the new K2 compiler<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2025<\/td>\n<td>Strategic partnership between JetBrains and Spring; Compose Multiplatform stable on iOS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2026<\/td>\n<td>Kotlin 2.4, the Koog 1.0 framework for AI agents and a formal security policy for the standard library<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Key benefits of Kotlin app development<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin&#8217;s benefits are often presented as technical features. For anyone making an investment decision, it&#8217;s worth looking at how each one affects the business.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Fewer production failures with null safety<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of the most common errors in Java applications is the NullPointerException, which crashes an app when the code tries to use a value that doesn&#8217;t exist. In Kotlin, the compiler itself prevents most of these errors before the software ever reaches users.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The results show up in real cases. ING, which migrated its payment engine from Java to Kotlin (6 million users and 4.5 billion payments a year), <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eliminated null-related crashes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Leaner code, faster delivery<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin requires fewer lines of code to do the same thing as Java. Less code means less to write, review, test and maintain. According to JetBrains, which analyzed data from roughly 320,000 developers and 28 million development cycles, <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kotlin tasks have cycles 15% to 20% shorter<\/a> than comparable tasks in Java.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Full interoperability with Java<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin and Java coexist in the same project and compile to the same bytecode. As a result, adoption can be gradual: one new module, one microservice or one new screen at a time, while the rest of the system keeps running. There&#8217;s no need for a full rewrite, which tends to be expensive and risky.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to JetBrains, Kotlin adoption is <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8 times higher in projects that migrated from Spring Boot 2 to 3<\/a>, showing that companies use modernization moments to switch languages.<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Have a Java system that needs to evolve without stopping operations?<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/en\/services\/software-factory\/\">NextAge Software Factory<\/a> modernizes legacy systems step by step, with a dedicated team and delivery SLAs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Coroutines and performance<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Apps constantly perform tasks that take time: fetching data from the internet, querying a database, processing an image. Kotlin offers coroutines, a feature that runs these tasks in the background with simple, readable code. For users, the result is a smoother app that doesn&#8217;t freeze while waiting for a response.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">A mature ecosystem backed by Google<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin comes with Android Studio, Jetpack Compose for modern interfaces and the Kotlin Foundation, maintained by JetBrains and Google. Starting with version 2.4, the language&#8217;s standard library has an <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.jetbrains.com\/kotlin\/2026\/05\/kotlinconf26-keynote-highlights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">18-month security support policy<\/a>, with fixes applied to all versions within that window. For companies in regulated industries, such as finance and healthcare, this kind of formal commitment carries weight.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Ready for the AI era<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin&#8217;s strong typing helps AI tools make fewer mistakes: when a coding assistant invents a method that doesn&#8217;t exist or misuses a nullable value, the error shows up at compile time, before human review. In a JetBrains survey of 623 Kotlin developers, <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">93% use at least one AI coding tool, and 81% say AI-generated Kotlin code is correct or needs only minor fixes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The language is also used to build AI solutions. In 2026, JetBrains released the stable version of Koog, a framework for building AI agents in Kotlin, already used by Mercedes-Benz.io for <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.jetbrains.com\/kotlin\/2026\/05\/kotlinconf26-keynote-highlights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vehicle maintenance support agents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At NextAge, systems and apps can be built from day one to integrate <a href=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/en\/services\/ai-agents\/\">AI agents<\/a>, from process automation to customer service.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Drawbacks: when Kotlin isn&#8217;t the best choice<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">No technology fits every project. Knowing Kotlin&#8217;s limitations helps avoid costly decisions:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>Compile time:<\/strong> in large projects, compilation can be slower than in Java. The K2 compiler, released in 2024, narrowed this gap considerably, but it still exists in some scenarios.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learning curve for teams without a JVM background:<\/strong> teams coming from JavaScript or .NET need time to master the ecosystem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kotlin Multiplatform requires iOS knowledge:<\/strong> to get the most out of KMP, the team needs someone who understands Swift and the Apple ecosystem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highly customized interfaces:<\/strong> for apps with complex animations and an identical visual identity on both platforms, Flutter may be more productive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One point that often appears in older articles no longer holds up: the idea that the Kotlin community is small. With <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8.1 million developers worldwide<\/a>, 71% of whom came from Java, the talent pool is broad and mature.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The Kotlin landscape in 2026<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The 2026 numbers show a language that is both established and expanding. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">State of Kotlin 2026<\/a>, 80% of Kotlin developers use the language in production, 87% are satisfied or very satisfied with it, and about a quarter work at companies with more than 500 employees. Kotlin also ranks among the five fastest-growing languages on GitHub and holds 14th place in the RedMonk rankings for both 2025 and 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Android: the market standard<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On Android, Kotlin is no longer one option among many; it&#8217;s the natural path. With 92% of professional Android developers using the language, Google&#8217;s new libraries, samples and tools are designed for it first. The <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.android.com\/kotlin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official Android guide<\/a> recommends Kotlin for all new projects.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin Multiplatform: one codebase, Android and iOS<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) lets teams write business logic once (rules, calculations, API integrations, data access) and use it on Android, iOS, desktop and web. With Compose Multiplatform, interfaces can be shared as well.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The adoption data is striking. According to JetBrains:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>KMP&#8217;s share among developers using cross-platform technologies grew from 7% in 2024 to 18% in 2025;<\/li>\n<li>teams share 40% to 80% of their mobile code and report release cycles 15% to 30% faster;<\/li>\n<li>72% of teams see faster development and 70% report higher app quality;<\/li>\n<li>KMP&#8217;s presence among the top 10,000 App Store apps has nearly tripled since early 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Companies such as Booking.com, Duolingo, PayPal and Sony already use KMP in production, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/case-studies\/?type=multiplatform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official case studies<\/a>. In Latin America, Brazilian fintech Stone presented its results at KotlinConf 2025: <a href=\"https:\/\/sessionize.com\/rodrigo-sicarelli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">40% shared code across two apps serving more than 4 million users<\/a>, with 130 mobile engineers trained in the technology. iFood, Latin America&#8217;s largest food delivery platform, also <a href=\"https:\/\/job-boards.greenhouse.io\/ifoodcarreiras\/jobs\/8230895002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">requires solid KMP knowledge<\/a> for mobile engineering roles.<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Want to launch on Android and iOS without maintaining two separate codebases?<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/en\/services\/software-factory\/\">NextAge Software Factory<\/a> builds native and cross-platform apps with a complete team: architecture, mobile development, UX\/UI, QA and DevOps.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Backend: Kotlin on the server<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One finding from the 2026 report surprises those who associate Kotlin only with mobile: <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">53% of Kotlin developers work on backend projects<\/a>. Among them, 61% use Spring or Spring Boot and 51% use Ktor. In organizations with more than 100 backend developers, 89% already run at least one service in Kotlin.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cases such as Amazon, which migrated to Kotlin a service powering a size recommendation system for hundreds of millions of customers, show that the language is already a mainstream choice for critical systems.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin and artificial intelligence<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In 2026, JetBrains launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kotlin Benchmark<\/a>, a public test that measures how AI agents perform on real tasks from Kotlin projects. In the first round, the top-ranked agent resolved 90 out of 105 tasks (85.7%). Together with Koog and the official AI SDKs available in Kotlin, this points to the language gaining even more ground in products that combine apps and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What changed with Kotlin 2.4<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Released in June 2026, Kotlin 2.4 brought improvements that directly matter to businesses, as presented at <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.jetbrains.com\/kotlin\/2026\/05\/kotlinconf26-keynote-highlights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KotlinConf 2026<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>more safety and less boilerplate<\/strong>, with the stabilization of language features;<\/li>\n<li><strong>more natural integration with iOS<\/strong>, with Swift Export moving to Alpha, making it easier to call Kotlin code from Swift;<\/li>\n<li><strong>faster iOS builds<\/strong>, with compilation 25% faster and less than half the memory usage compared with the previous year;<\/li>\n<li><strong>formal 18-month security support<\/strong> for the standard library.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin, Kotlin Multiplatform, Flutter or React Native: how to choose<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There&#8217;s no right technology in the abstract. The choice depends on the platforms your app needs to support, the team available, existing systems and the level of native experience required. The table below summarizes the differences:<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Criterion<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Native Kotlin (Android)<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Kotlin Multiplatform<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Flutter<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">React Native<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>Kotlin<\/td>\n<td>Kotlin (+ Swift on iOS, when needed)<\/td>\n<td>Dart<\/td>\n<td>JavaScript\/TypeScript<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>What it shares<\/td>\n<td>Nothing (Android only)<\/td>\n<td>Business logic and, optionally, UI<\/td>\n<td>Logic and UI<\/td>\n<td>Logic and UI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Native experience<\/td>\n<td>Full<\/td>\n<td>Full or near-native<\/td>\n<td>Framework&#8217;s own UI<\/td>\n<td>Native components via bridge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Performance<\/td>\n<td>Best on Android<\/td>\n<td>Native on each platform<\/td>\n<td>High<\/td>\n<td>Good<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gradual adoption in existing apps<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>Yes, module by module<\/td>\n<td>Harder<\/td>\n<td>Possible, with caveats<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Best for<\/td>\n<td>Android-only apps or apps using advanced system features<\/td>\n<td>Android and iOS apps focused on native experience and code reuse<\/td>\n<td>Apps with highly customized UI and fast launches<\/td>\n<td>Teams with a strong JavaScript and web background<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A few practical criteria help with the decision:<\/p>\n<ol dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>Target platforms:<\/strong> if the app is Android-only, native Kotlin is the most direct path. If it needs to be in both stores, consider KMP or Flutter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Current team:<\/strong> teams with Java and Android experience move to Kotlin and KMP more easily; web teams tend to ramp up faster with React Native.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Existing systems:<\/strong> if there&#8217;s already an Android app or a Java backend, KMP lets you reuse code and adopt the technology gradually.<\/li>\n<li><strong>User experience:<\/strong> apps that depend on native features (Bluetooth, sensors, contactless payments) or on each system&#8217;s standard look and feel benefit from Kotlin and KMP.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Timeline and budget:<\/strong> to validate an idea quickly with a single interface, Flutter may be faster in the short term.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Still torn between Kotlin, KMP and Flutter?<\/strong> In <a href=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/en\/services\/discovery-blueprint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NextAge&#8217;s Deep Discovery<\/a>, we map goals, users, integrations and risks to recommend the technology that delivers the most with the least risk, before a single line of code is written. Because we work with different stacks, our recommendation is always driven by the project, not by technology preference.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Tips for building apps with Kotlin in 2026<\/h2>\n<ol dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>Start with discovery.<\/strong> Define platforms, user profiles, integrations and business goals before choosing the stack. This step prevents rework and budget surprises.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use Jetpack Compose for new Android screens.<\/strong> Google&#8217;s declarative UI model is today&#8217;s standard and reduces the code needed to build and maintain screens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider KMP even with native interfaces.<\/strong> Sharing only the business logic already reduces duplication, inconsistencies between platforms and maintenance costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adopt Kotlin gradually in Java systems.<\/strong> Start with a new module or microservice and measure delivery time, quality and review effort before expanding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take advantage of coroutines and Flow.<\/strong> Use them for network calls and data access; the app becomes more responsive and the code simpler to maintain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automate tests from the first sprint.<\/strong> Tools such as JUnit 5, Kotest and MockK ensure new features don&#8217;t break existing ones. At the <a href=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/en\/services\/quality-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NextAge Quality Center<\/a>, dedicated QA and automated tests accompany every delivery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use AI with human review.<\/strong> Coding assistants speed up the work, but validation remains essential: only 0.3% of Kotlin developers ship AI-generated code without reviewing, testing or running it, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/kotlinlang.org\/state-of-kotlin-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JetBrains<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plan for support from the start.<\/strong> New versions of Android, iOS and Kotlin, as well as app store rules, require continuous updates. NextAge&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/en\/services\/application-managed-services\/\">Application Managed Services<\/a> keep your app stable and evolving after launch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Frequently asked questions about Kotlin<\/h2>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Is Kotlin better than Java?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For new Android projects and many backend projects, Kotlin offers clear advantages: more concise code, protection against null-value errors and development cycles 15% to 20% shorter, according to JetBrains. Since the two languages are compatible, many companies use both in the same system.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Is Kotlin only for Android?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">No. Although it is Google&#8217;s preferred language for Android, Kotlin is also used on the backend (with Spring Boot and Ktor), in iOS, desktop and web apps through Kotlin Multiplatform, and to build artificial intelligence agents. In 2026, more than half of Kotlin developers work on backend projects.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Can you build an iOS app with Kotlin?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yes, with Kotlin Multiplatform. You can share business logic between Android and iOS and, with Compose Multiplatform (stable on iOS since 2025), the user interface as well. Companies such as Duolingo, Booking.com and Stone use this approach in production.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Kotlin or Flutter: which should you choose in 2026?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It depends on the project. Kotlin Multiplatform is the better fit when native experience is a priority or when there&#8217;s existing Android or Java code to reuse. Flutter tends to be faster for apps with highly customized interfaces that look identical on both platforms. A technical discovery helps make this decision with confidence.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Is Kotlin Multiplatform production-ready?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yes. KMP has been stable since 2023, is officially supported by Google for sharing logic between Android and iOS, and has more than 4,000 community libraries. Apps built with the technology serve hundreds of millions of users every day.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How much does it cost to build an app in Kotlin?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The cost depends on scope, platforms, integrations and the engagement model. That&#8217;s why NextAge starts every project with a discovery phase, which produces a clear scope, a prioritized backlog and a realistic estimate of timeline and investment before development begins.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Conclusion: is Kotlin worth it in 2026?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yes, especially for companies that need robust Android apps, want to share code between Android and iOS without giving up a native experience, or are looking to modernize Java systems gradually. With 15 years of evolution, 8.1 million developers, production use by 80% of them and the backing of Google and JetBrains, Kotlin is no longer a bet; it&#8217;s a long-term strategic choice.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The deciding factor, however, isn&#8217;t the language itself: it&#8217;s choosing the right technology for the business goal and working with a team that can deliver predictably.<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Your next app starts with a conversation.<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/en\/services\/software-factory\/\">NextAge Software Factory<\/a> brings more than 19 years in the market and 600 delivered projects into a complete nearshore team, with structured discovery, deliveries every two weeks, SLAs and code that is 100% yours. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nextage.com.br\/en\/services\/software-factory\/\">Talk to a specialist<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Want to compare engagement models before deciding?
