Hiring Mobile Developers: common questions
How much does it cost to hire a mobile developer in Latin America?
It depends on seniority and the country tier you hire in; the table on this page shows the monthly cost for each combination. With Interfell staffing, 80% of the monthly invoice is the professional’s pay and 20% is Interfell’s fee. US-facing profiles with advanced English earn a premium.
How long does it take to hire a mobile developer?
Interfell presents a first shortlist within 72 hours, and the hire can usually start in about 5 days.
Native or cross-platform (React Native or Flutter)?
Cross-platform is usually more efficient for business apps with one codebase. Native makes sense if you rely heavily on hardware, complex animations or peak performance. Hire for the approach your app already uses.
