Frequently asked questions
How much does a Hardworking developer cost?⌄
Junior developers (1-3 yrs) start at $10-$15/hour. Mid-level (3-5 yrs) at $15-$22/hour. Senior developers (5+ yrs, lead roles) at $22-$30/hour. Specialized roles (DevOps, mobile, AI) can hit $35-$40. Compared to US rates of $60-$150/hour, you typically save 50-70% with no loss in code quality.
How do I know they can actually code?⌄
Beyond identity + portfolio verification, every developer profile shows reviewed work, employer ratings, and our optional skill tests (you can attach your own coding challenge to any job post). You can also schedule a free interview via Zoom/Google Meet — the platform handles scheduling and reminders.
Can I hire a full development team?⌄
Yes — many employers start with one developer, then add a designer, QA, and project manager as they scale. Our Team and Business plans support up to 100 and 250 simultaneous hires respectively. You can also keep a per-job kanban board to coordinate everyone in one place.
What about IP and contracts?⌄
When you fund a milestone or weekly invoice through our escrow, you're paying for the deliverable on completion. We provide a standard work-for-hire contract template inside the dispute system. For complex projects (enterprise, regulated industries) you can attach your own MSA + NDA — the developer signs before access.
What stacks are most common?⌄
React + Node.js, Laravel + Vue, Python + Django, Flutter + Firebase, and PHP + MySQL legacy work are the most common. WordPress development is huge. Less common but available: Rust, Go, Elixir, and AI/ML (PyTorch, LangChain).
