How much does it cost?

We know how difficult it is to recruit talented developers. With rising costs in Norway and a lack of resources, it is becoming more and more difficult to find the right candidates. The natural thing for software companies is then to look outside and outsource developers from different parts of the world.

In recent years, Portugal has become known for its skilled software developers. The cost level is lower than Norway, the time difference is only one hour, and the short distance makes Portugal a very attractive place to build your external development department.

If you are considering hiring Portuguese developers through our services, you may be wondering what it will cost you. In this article, we give you an overview of the costs and explain why it can be a cost-effective solution for your company.

Hourly rates

The cost of hiring developers in Portugal is often lower than in many other Western European countries. Portuguese developers usually offer competitive hourly rates while maintaining high quality in their work. The exact hourly rate varies depending on the level of expertise. For example, a junior developer may have a lower hourly rate compared to a senior developer or a team lead/architect.

Monthly price

When you hire Portuguese developers through us, we offer a transparent and cost-effective payment model. You pay a fixed monthly fee for each developer, and they work 150 hours per month on your projects. This predictable monthly commitment allows you to budget efficiently and ensures a constant work effort from the dedicated developer.

No recruitment costs

One of the unique aspects of our services is that there are no recruitment costs. We take care of the entire recruitment process, from finding and evaluating candidates to conducting interviews and selecting the most suitable developer for your needs. This recruitment phase is completely free of charge. You start paying only when the developer actually starts work for your company.

Completely transparent prices

We believe in complete transparency regarding the cost of hiring Portuguese developers. You will not encounter hidden fees or additional costs. The pricing structure is simple and allows you to plan your budget accurately.

Hiring locally in Norway vs Portugal

Hiring developers locally in countries with a high cost of living, such as Norway, can be significantly more expensive. For example, a senior developer in Norway can expect an annual salary that varies from NOK 750,000 to NOK 950,000. When you include additional costs such as employer's tax, benefits and office space, the total cost to the business can be significantly higher.

With competitive hourly rates, a predictable monthly commitment and a transparent payment structure, you can access top-notch talent at a reasonable price.
