If you’ve ever thought about hiring offshore developers, the first question that probably popped up in your head was “How much will it cost?”

The truth is that there is no any single answer to this question since, besides such aspects as a type of services and the complexity of the features which need to be included in a product, the price depends on the geographical area where engineers are located.

And the range is really wide, for example, the US team with rates of about $100–200 may charge up to 10–15 times more than, let’s say, Indian developers whose hourly rates vary between 15 and 40 dollars.
