FAQs

Companies choose offshore software development teams to cut costs, access global talent, and scale quickly. Offshore setups allow around-the-clock productivity. It makes them a smart option for startups and businesses that need fast, affordable development without lengthy hiring delays.
Offshore is almost always cheaper. Businesses save 40–70% on salaries and overhead when hiring offshore. Onshore development costs more due to local wages, benefits, and taxes, but sometimes offers efficiency in collaboration that can save time.
Time zones can slow down real-time communication, but they can also facilitate 24/7 development. Offshore teams work while you sleep, keeping progress continuous, as long as you establish structured handoffs and clear documentation.
Not necessarily. Many offshore teams deliver top-quality work. Quality depends more on the team’s skills, experience, and project management processes than location. Precise project requirements, regular check-ins, and choosing trusted vendors improve outcomes with offshore teams.
Onshore teams often share your language and work culture, making communication straightforward. Offshore teams may face cultural or language gaps. It’s because it requires extra effort through tools, regular calls, and detailed documentation to ensure clarity.
