What the table compares
Each row answers the same eight questions from that agency's own site, in the site's words where it has them.
- What it builds: the services its site names.
- Los Angeles presence: whether its site gives an address in Los Angeles or names only the city.
- Small-business focus: whether its site says it works with small businesses.
- Team size: what its site says about its team, with no headcount, or Not stated.
- Pricing: Published when its site states its prices, Starting price published when it states only where they start, Quote only when it publishes no price of its own. The amounts stay on its own site.
- Process: Published when its site sets out the steps of a project.
- Code ownership: Stated when its site says who owns the code it builds, before or after the last payment.
- Portfolio: Public when its site shows work it has built.
A question a site does not answer reads Not stated, which says nothing about the agency's work. The table gives no score or rank, and its rows run in alphabetical order.

How this page was made
The nine agencies beside Your Wish Is Our Code are the ones the answer engines named most often when Your Wish Is Our Code asked them three questions in October 2026: a list of custom software agencies for small businesses in Los Angeles, a web design agency there for a small business that also builds custom software, and a custom app developer for a small business in Los Angeles. ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Mode and Perplexity were asked from October 2 to 7 and from October 12 to 15, 2026, and Claude, Google AI Mode and Perplexity again from October 18 to 21; ChatGPT was not asked that week.
Each answer counted an agency once, however it spelled the name, and the names of platforms and tools, which are not agencies, were left out. Each of the nine most named gives a street address in Los Angeles on its own site. The tenth row is Your Wish Is Our Code, which publishes this page.
Each row was read from that agency's own public pages on October 21, 2026, starting from its home page, and from its terms wherever its site links them. Every page a row was read from is listed under Sources, and nothing in a row comes from anywhere but that agency's own site.
The row for Your Wish Is Our Code is read from its own pages by the same rules, and it sits where its name falls in the alphabet. Each row names the day its site was read, and the page's Published or Updated date is never earlier than any of them. The page leaves out scores and ranks, how many reviews an agency has, prices as amounts and the names of any agency's clients.
