Straight answers about our pricing
We'd rather lose deals to honesty than win them with theater.
Because a rate card would be wrong for most roles. Engineers vary by stack, seniority, and engagement length. A senior backend engineer on a 12-month engagement is priced differently than a 3-month React contractor. What we do publish is the structure: one flat monthly rate per engineer with everything included, typically 40–60% below the fully-loaded cost of an equivalent US hire. The exact number for your specific role takes about 2 minutes to get: answer a few questions at /qualify and you have your quote.
