Clutch has named Atomic Object the No. 1 Global Leader in software development for Fall 2025, ranking the employee-owned consultancy first among more than 44,000 firms worldwide.
Clutch evaluates software development firms using a proprietary methodology. To earn its Global Leader designation, Clutch says companies must demonstrate sustained delivery excellence, deep technical capability, strong business outcomes, and consistently positive client experiences.

“By combining genuine care for people, high standards for our craft, and a deep curiosity about our clients’ businesses, we deliver software that continues creating value well beyond launch,” he said.
Mike Beares, founder and CEO of Clutch, said this year’s Global Award winners exemplify consistently strong client partnerships.
“The Clutch Global Award winners represent what’s possible when businesses put client success at the center of everything they do. Their innovation and dedication inspire the global standard for partnership excellence.”
