FAQs

You should hire one if you're building a complex product, need to scale quickly, or lack in-house expertise. It’s also a great choice for long-term software development projects or startups needing full-time development support without the hiring hassle.
Costs vary based on location, skills, and team size. Rates range from $20/hour (Asia) to $150/hour (US). Long-term contracts usually offer better value compared to short-term or hourly arrangements.
It typically takes 2–6 weeks to assemble and onboard a team. The exact time depends on your project requirements, tech stack, and vendor’s hiring pipeline. Some vendors offer pre-vetted developers for faster deployment.
A typical team includes developers, a project manager, QA engineers, UI/UX designers, DevOps, and business analysts. The roles are customized based on your project goals and budget.
In staff augmentation, you hire individuals to fill gaps in your team. A dedicated team, on the other hand, is a full unit that works only on your software product and is often more structured and scalable.
