Hiring an outsourced team is generally cheaper than recruiting and training an in-house one. By our estimates, you can save about 15-30% thanks to outsourcing.
Overhead and hiring costs are the major difference between the two engagement models. When you outsource your project, your vendor is responsible for finding skilled workers and ensuring good working conditions. Of course, these costs are included in the quote. But since companies specializing in software development tend to work on several projects simultaneously and rent large offices (or even hire remotely), the price per client turns out to be less than you’d pay for facilities independently.
