Number One Again: Redberry Tops Clutch's Spring 2026 Top Laravel Developers
Technical Content Writer
Redberry ranks number one again on Clutch’s Spring 2026 Top 15 Laravel Developers list. We have held that position continuously since 2023.
This year’s recognition comes with two badges: Clutch Global 2026 and Top Laravel Developers 2026.
What staying number one since 2023 actually means?
One exceptional ranking can reflect one exceptional year. Holding first place continuously from 2023 through 2026 requires the result to survive new projects, new reviews, and changing environment.
The system behind that result rests on four pillars:
- Laravel is a craft, not a staffing category for us. We have worked with the framework for more than twelve years, sharpening our expertise through building, deploying and maintaining complex business-critical systems and actively participating in the ecosystem.
- Our delivery methodology establishes operating discipline from day one ensuring we have a production-ready version of the product at the end of each sprint.
- We work with clients as partners, not vendors. Direct, transparent communication starts with the first conversation and continues through delivery.
Our in-house team carries lessons between projects. We improve the same delivery system continuously instead of rebuilding it from scratch for every engagement.
Clutch recognized over 400 agencies across 54 IT and development categories this cycle, drawn from a marketplace of more than 400,000 service providers. Laravel is one of those 54, and it is the category we care about - because it is not a service line for us; it is Redberry’s backbone. We have been working with Laravel for 12+ years and are one of 13 Laravel Premier Partners worldwide.
How does Clutch pick its Global honorees?
Honorees are selected through Clutch's proprietary Ability to Deliver methodology, which weighs verified client feedback, project success, market presence, and industry expertise. Clutch calls the Global Awards the highest form of recognition on its platform. "Behind every successful digital transformation is a trusted technology partner," said Mike Beares, Founder and CEO of Clutch, announcing the honorees.
The mechanism matters more than the badge. Because the score is computed from verified reviews, a 2026 award is a lagging indicator - a readout of work actually shipped over the preceding years, scored by the people who paid for it. Ranking first across several consecutive years means that readout has come back the same way every time.
What is actually behind the ranking?
Redberry holds 39 verified client reviews on Clutch at a 4.9 average. Rather than crop them into a graphic, here is what three of the most recent ones say.
“Their breadth of knowledge and engagement across the senior team is impressive.“
— Geoff Brooks, CEO, Alpha Beta Partners (UK, FCA-regulated)
“We've gotten to work with experts in Laravel and Vue, which has been a huge advantage for us in building our next-generation product.“
— Jud Mackrill, CEO, Milemarker (US fintech)
“Redberry is good at finding the gaps and filling them as needed without being instructed to do so.“
— Samuel Ciaramilaro, Owner, SC Codecraft (Denmark)
Every review on our Clutch profile is collected independently, attributed by name, and dated. That is the whole argument for taking a directory ranking seriously - and the reason we would rather you read the reviews than the badge.
Why Laravel, specifically
Laravel is not one of several frameworks we happen to work with.
Redberry is a Laravel Premier Partner - the top tier, one of thirteen worldwide - and an official Vue Partner. We have been building on Laravel for over twelve years, and today run production systems on it for regulated and enterprise clients: Tavistock Investments and Alpha Beta Partners in the FCA-regulated UK, Milemarker in US fintech, Paybetter under FINMA in Switzerland, CapGain under DFSA in UAE.
We are a big team too. ~100 in-house engineers always running 25 to 30 projects in parallel - working out of Georgia since 2014. It is also why the ranking has been durable: the same team that earned the first one is still here.
Thank you
Rankings like this one are written by clients. To everyone who took the time to sit through a Clutch interview and say what working with us was actually like - thank you. Staying number one since 2023 is your doing, not ours.
If you are weighing up a Laravel partner, the reviews are right here, unedited. And if you would rather just talk, so would we.
