Dedicated Development Team Cost
Here's the reality: a senior developer in the US costs $150-200K/year fully loaded. Our dedicated teams from Eastern Europe run $4,000-8,000/month per developer — that's 50-60% savings without quality trade-offs.

🔄
Evolving Requirements
Requirements always change. Dedicated teams adapt sprint-to-sprint without change order drama.
When a Dedicated Team Might NOT Be Right
We'll be honest — dedicated teams aren't always the answer:
Short, fixed-scope project
If it'll take 2-3 months with clear specs, a fixed-price project might be simpler.
One-off feature or integration
Need just a Stripe integration? Staff augmentation or a freelancer could be more efficient.
No internal capacity to manage
Dedicated teams need a product owner. If nobody can define priorities, consider full outsourcing.
Strict on-site requirements
Some compliance requirements mandate on-site presence. We work remotely.

Transparent Pricing
One monthly invoice, no surprises. Developer salaries, overhead, equipment, our margin — it's all in the rate. Compare that to in-house hiring with recruiter fees, benefits admin, and equipment budgets.
Full Team Control
Your dedicated team works for you. Set priorities, run standups your way, use your tools. We're the employer of record, but you're the boss when it comes to product.
Developer Retention Focus
High turnover kills projects. We invest in developer careers, competitive salaries, and quality-of-life perks. Result? 2.5+ year average tenure with our clients.
What is a Dedicated Development Team?
Simply put, a dedicated development team is a group of software professionals who work full-time on your product and nothing else. They're employed by us on paper, but in practice? They show up to your standups, use your Slack, follow your sprint cycles. After a few months, most clients forget they're technically "outsourced" — the line gets blurry, and that's exactly the point.
They Only Work on Your Stuff
No juggling multiple clients. No splitting attention between your app and someone else's backend rewrite. Your team works on your project, period. That focus compounds — they learn your codebase, understand your users, anticipate problems before you spot them.
Built for the Long Haul
This isn't a 3-month gig. Most of our dedicated teams stick around for years. The developers who built your MVP are often the same ones scaling it to a million users. That continuity matters more than people realize — every handoff loses context.
You Run the Show, We Handle the Rest
You decide what gets built and when. You run the sprints, set priorities, approve PRs. Meanwhile, we deal with the stuff that makes hiring painful: payroll, benefits, equipment, performance reviews, keeping people from leaving. Your control, our headaches.
Scale Without the Drama
Big launch coming up? We can add developers in 2-3 weeks. Project scope shrinking? Scale down next month, no awkward layoff conversations. Try doing that with full-time employees.
If you're wondering where this fits: it's somewhere between hiring contractors (which is pure flexibility but zero commitment) and traditional outsourcing (where you hand over specs and hope for the best). You keep control like in-house, but without the 4-month hiring cycle or the HR overhead. Best of both, honestly.

Where We Source Dedicated Teams
We focus on Central and Eastern Europe — Poland, Ukraine, Romania primarily. Why? Because it's where you get the best mix of technical skills, English fluency, and cultural alignment with US and EU companies. Lower-cost regions exist, but time zone overlap and communication quality matter more than squeezing every dollar.
🇵🇱 Poland
- EU member with strong legal protections
- 6-hour overlap with US East Coast
- Ranked #3 globally for programmer skills (HackerRank)
- 90%+ English proficiency in tech sector
Best for: Enterprise clients needing EU data residency, FinTech compliance
🇺🇦 Ukraine
- 300,000+ IT professionals
- Strong culture of product-focused development
- Excellent React, Node.js, mobile expertise
- 7-hour overlap with US East Coast
Best for: Startups, mobile apps, high-velocity product development
🇷🇴 Romania
- EU member with GDPR compliance built-in
- Strong .NET, Java, and enterprise stack skills
- Growing AI and data engineering talent
- Western European work culture
Best for: Enterprise modernization, legacy system migration
Yes, you can find $15/hour developers in some regions. We've seen what happens when companies chase the lowest rate: communication issues, quality problems, turnover. Our teams cost more than bottom-tier offshore — but less than half of US rates, with none of the friction.

FaQ
For Eastern European developers, expect $4,000-$8,000 per developer per month depending on seniority. A typical 4-person team (PM, 2 developers, QA) runs $20,000-$35,000/month. That's roughly 50-60% less than equivalent US-based hiring when you factor in benefits, equipment, and overhead.
Our developers in Eastern Europe overlap 4-6 hours with US East Coast (more with UK/EU). We ensure at least 4 hours of real-time collaboration daily. Your team will attend your standups, participate in planning sessions, and be available for pair programming or urgent issues during your working hours.
You own 100% of the code and IP. Every developer signs an NDA and work-for-hire agreement as part of onboarding. We can also sign company-level NDAs before we even start discussions. All code lives in your repositories, and you control access.
The same way you'd manage a local team, just with better async practices. Use your existing tools (Jira, Slack, GitHub), run your normal ceremonies (standups, planning, retros). Our PM handles day-to-day coordination. Most clients spend 2-4 hours per week on direct team management.
Our deepest experience: FinTech, PropTech, Gaming, SaaS, and Social apps. But we've also delivered for Healthcare, E-commerce, EdTech, and Logistics clients. When matching your team, we prioritize domain experience — your developers should understand your business, not just code.
Staff augmentation fills gaps in your existing team — individual contractors you manage directly. A dedicated team is a complete, self-managing unit with its own PM. Choose staff augmentation for temporary needs or specific skills; choose dedicated teams for ongoing product development.
Three big ones: First, speed — we can have a working team in 2-4 weeks vs 2-4 months for in-house hiring. Second, flexibility — scale up for a big release, scale down when maintenance mode hits. Third, cost — expect 50-60% savings compared to equivalent US-based hiring when you factor in benefits, equipment, and overhead. The less obvious advantage? Retention. Good vendors invest in developer careers, which means less turnover disrupting your project.
For Eastern European teams, budget $4,000-$8,000 per developer per month depending on seniority. A typical startup team (PM + 2 developers + QA) runs $16,000-$28,000/month. Enterprise teams with architects and specialized roles can hit $40,000-$60,000/month. These rates include everything — no surprise invoices for equipment, software licenses, or vacation coverage.

We can have CVs in your inbox within 72 hours of our discovery call. Most clients complete interviews within 2 weeks and have a working team by week 3-4. For urgent projects, we can sometimes provide developers from our bench to start immediately while we recruit your permanent team.
Yes, with 30 days notice in either direction. Need 2 more developers for a big release? We start sourcing immediately. Project winding down? Reduce headcount next month. No severance, no long-term commitments — that flexibility is core to the dedicated team model.
Most common: React, Node.js, Python, React Native, AWS. But we also have specialists in Vue, Angular, Ruby on Rails, .NET, Java, Go, Flutter, and more. We match developers to your existing tech stack — no learning curves or rewrites.
Tell us and we'll replace them. No arguments, no delays. Our bench and recruiting pipeline means we can usually find a replacement within 2-3 weeks. You shouldn't be stuck with someone who isn't performing — that defeats the purpose of the model.
Primarily Poland, Ukraine, Romania, and other Eastern European countries. These regions have strong technical education, excellent English skills, and compatible work cultures with US/EU companies. Time zone overlap and cultural fit are why we focus here over lower-cost regions.
Start with the basics: check their Clutch reviews, look at case studies similar to your project, and verify they have actual employees (not just contractor networks). In your first call, pay attention to how they ask questions — vendors who dig into your business goals, not just tech specs, tend to deliver better. Request to interview the actual developers who'd work on your project, not just sales people.
Every developer signs an NDA before seeing any code. We can work within your VPN, use your security tools, and follow your access control policies. For clients with compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR), we've done it before — including background checks, secure development environments, and audit trails. All code lives in your repositories; we don't retain copies.
