Key Things to Know About Offshore Web Application Development
Why big tech offshores web app development
Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft have expanded into Latin America and Eastern Europe. This trend is global: in 2022, 65% of US tech companies outsourced their operations to EE, while 2023 saw US businesses increase their hiring in LATAM by 50%.ย ย Offshoring tech developmentย saves the day, and here is why:
- Deficit of US talent to meet the demand. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a shortage of 1.2 million software developers by 2026. With demand rising, 87% of tech executives see the talent gap as their top challenge.
- Mounting expenses to hire US programmers. Between January 2018 and January 2024, the median base pay for software developers in the U.S. rose by 24%. Costs climb with expertise: hiring a tech C-level runsย $238,000ย toย $288,000ย annually.
Big tech choose Latin America and Eastern Europe because of:
- Abundant talent. LATAM 1.75 million and EE 1.5 millionย offshore tech developersย potentially address the US talent gap.
- Affordable costs.ย Hiring and retaining an IT professional includes annual salaries, recruitment fees, payroll & tax, and benefits. In the United States, software engineers cost tech companiesย $131,000ย toย $186,000ย annually, while in LATAM and Eastern Europe, average costs areย $50,000ย toย $91,000ย andย $57,000ย toย $112,000, respectively. This difference alone cuts expenses by 1.8 to 2.2 timesโand with reduced tax burdens in these regions, savings increase even further.
- Acknowledged tech expertise. The most in-demand global spheres are cybersecurity, AI and machine learning, and data science. Latin American and Eastern European offshore tech programmers rank in Courseraโs top for these skills.
Top countries to offshore web app development
Letโs take a closer look at the most prominentย offshore tech developmentย players in Latin America and Eastern Europe.
Inย LATAM:
- Mexicoย boasts the 2nd largest talent pool and proudly sits at 3rd place in UNESCOโs AI Readiness Index, thanks to its government and Microsoft funding AI training for 5 million programmers.
- Argentinaย is a haven for fintech and e-commerce startups and is #1 in the region for English proficiency.
- Colombiaโs JavaScript dominance undeniably solidifies its spot in the top 5 for fintech, e-commerce, and cloud.
- Chileย comes in 1st for digital skills, drives AI, cloud, and insurtech, and has the 3rd largest regional IT workforce.
Inย Eastern Europe:
- Polandย leads with the largest talent pool ofย offshore tech developersย and Europeโs 7th most prominent tech market.

Comparison with alternatives
In offshore web application development outsourcing or outstaffing, you get junior or middle-level talent, low loyalty, communication via a third party, and exorbitant fees. Alternatively, you can build an offshore software development team for completing web app projects on your own, but conquering a local market with legal and tax differences is no mean feat.
Alcor steps in with expert knowledge in offshore business expansion. Instead of leaving you high and dry in an unfamiliar market, we navigate the complexities of tech recruitment, taxation, and legislation for you. Add in Employer of Record services and full operational support, and an offshore tech development team is at your disposal without opening a legal entity.
Alcorโs offshore web app development center is an all-in-one solution to expand into Latin America or Eastern Europe and access top-10% tech talent at a fraction of the cost. Itโs long-term, scalable, under your control, and without markups.

Own R&D Center vs Offshore Web App Development
Software Development Center
- Silicon Valley-caliber talent We recruit 30+ elite senior developers in 3 months. All decisions regarding the team are up to you.
- Transparent pricing Detailed invoices help you be in control of your finances. Plus, your tech R&D team is x2 more affordable than an external one.
- Your team & branding You get a tech team with shared values for innovation and growthโ90% retention rate & an average tenure of 2.5 years.
- No setup & buy-out fees No setup fee is needed to start building your software R&D team. Plus, there is no buy-out processโyour team now, free insourcing after.
- Intellectual property under control With direct agreements, you fully own your product and its source code, keeping unique expertise in-house.
Offshore Development
- Junior/middle-level talent You can’t control the quality of talent. Plus, with planned moves to new customers after 1 year, your A-players will be snatched away.
- High markups Some providers charge up to 50% of talent compensation to earn more without the client knowing about it.
- Not your brand & practices Developers work under your providerโs brand. Thus, there’s no room for your corporate culture, policies, and direct oversight.
- High setup & buy-out fees Most vendors require contractual & financial obligations first. Then, you pay 20% of a developer’s annual compensation in buy-out fees.
- Intellectual property risks IP rights over your product initially belong to developers of your provider. You get minimum security and a tedious transfer process.
