Start with domain experience, not the length of the client list. Ask to see a couple of projects that match your stack, and then find out who actually wrote that code. A serious vendor will put you on a call with the people who would work on your project. Answers that name nobody at this stage almost always mean the demo work came from somewhere else.

The contract needs more scrutiny than the proposal. Three sections matter more than the rest: intellectual property assignment, the NDA, and exit terms and handover. All the work product must transfer to you on payment, along with documentation, pipelines and deployment scripts. Be careful with wording that keeps framework code outside the transfer, as that is often exactly the piece that locks you in.

Ask where their numbers come from. An honest estimate arrives with the assumptions behind it, a breakdown by feature laravel or ruby on rails module and a range rather than a single number. A fixed-bid deal is only reasonable when the requirements are stable and documented; in any other case the vendor pads the number and you pay for uncertainty either way. A time-and-materials model puts the risk on your side, so it requires a cap, regular demos and transparent reporting.

How the work is run beats the number of developers. Ask how a new requirement enters the plan, who defines done and how testing is organised. A mature team will be able to walk you through running software rather than status reports. Clear, written acceptance criteria stay the only reliable protection against the it-was-never-in-scope conversation.

Finally, plan for dedicated outsourcing services the end of the engagement while the relationship is still good. Insist that the source repository lives under your account from the beginning, and that documentation is written as you go rather than left to the end. A provider confident in its own work accepts it without argument; hesitation here tells you quite a lot.
