Hire remote developers for your US or UK team from our Ahmedabad delivery centre. Named developers join your tools and your stand-ups. You interview them first, start with a two-week trial, and pay only for the hours they work.
From $25 an hour
Senior developers $35, AI engineers $45
Two-week trial
No charge if you stop within the first five working days
Free replacement
Within five working days, with a handover overlap
Hiring a dedicated developer means a named engineer works only on your product, inside your team, for the hours you buy. It is a form of staff augmentation: you add capacity to your own team instead of handing a project to an outside agency. You set the priorities; the developer joins your stand-ups, uses your tools and commits to your repositories; Webify.AI handles their employment, equipment and replacement.
A dedicated developer sits between a freelancer and a full-time hire. Compared with a freelancer, you get continuity: someone who works for you every week, backed by a company that replaces them if something goes wrong. Compared with an in-house hire, you skip the recruiting cycle and can change the hours you buy from month to month.
Pay by the hour, or take a monthly plan of 160 hours at about 15% less.

A dedicated developer from Webify.AI costs $25 to $45 an hour, depending on seniority and specialism. This is how that compares with other ways of hiring a developer, using published 2026 market rates.

Rates for other providers are published market ranges, not quotes. A lower hourly rate only saves money if the developer is productive, which is why every Webify.AI engagement starts with a two-week trial.
The stacks our developers and AI engineers work in every day.
React developers and Next.js developers build web apps, dashboards, SaaS front ends and marketing sites. Typical work: components and design systems, API integration, server-side rendering and routing in Next.js, and Core Web Vitals performance fixes.
Mid-level $25/h for feature work; senior $35/h to lead architecture and performance.
Node.js developers build APIs, back-end services, integrations and real-time features, written in TypeScript. Typical work: REST and GraphQL APIs, payment and CRM integrations, background jobs and PostgreSQL databases.
Mid-level $25/h; senior $35/h for service design and code review.
Python developers build back-end services, data pipelines, automation scripts and the plumbing around AI features. Python is also the main language of our AI engineers, so Python work can grow into LLM and agent work on the same project.
Mid-level $25/h; senior $35/h.
AI developers build AI agents that act inside your tools, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over your own documents, and LLM features inside existing products. As an IBM Partner we also deploy on IBM watsonx and on open-weight models, for teams whose data must stay on their own infrastructure. Typical work: customer-support and sales agents, question answering over internal documents, summarisation and classification pipelines, and the evaluation and guardrails that keep them reliable.
AI / LLM engineer $45/h.
Mobile app developers build iOS and Android apps: cross-platform in React Native or Flutter, or native in Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android when performance or device features demand it. Typical work: new features, app-store releases, push notifications, offline sync and API integration.
Mid-level $25/h; senior $35/h for app architecture and releases.
Full-stack developers cover the front end and the back end, typically React or Next.js with Node.js or Python and PostgreSQL. A full-stack developer suits a small team that needs one person to ship complete features from database to interface.
Mid-level $25/h; senior $35/h.
Shopify developers and e-commerce developers handle theme changes, custom apps, product-feed and marketplace integrations, and checkout and site-speed work for online stores.
Mid-level $25/h; senior $35/h.

Role, stack, seniority, hours and start date, through the form below or a call.
Named developers, with their experience, stack and availability.
Talk to them directly about your codebase. We sign your NDA before the first call.
No charge if you stop in the first five working days. Then carry on hourly or monthly.
Every engagement starts with a two-week trial, so you can judge the developer on your real work before you commit.
Hire developers in India for a UK team without changing your working day. Our developers overlap with UK office hours from 09:00 to 13:00 every working day, inside a normal Indian working day and at no extra cost, so stand-ups, code reviews and pairing happen in your morning.
You're invoiced in pounds sterling, contracts are written in plain English, and IP is assigned to your company. If your developer will handle personal data, we agree data-protection terms with you before they start.
UK teams use a dedicated developer to add capacity without going through a contractor agency, at an hourly cost well below the median UK contractor day rate shown above.
Hire offshore developers for a US team with real overlap. On our evening shift, developers work 09:00 to 12:00 US Eastern time, which is 08:00 to 11:00 Central, for 15% on top of the hourly rate. West Coast teams can use the same hours (06:00 to 09:00 Pacific) or work asynchronously, with a written handover at the start of their day.
You're invoiced in US dollars, and we provide a W-8BEN-E form on request for your accounts team. The work is done in India by Webify.AI, and you own all the code.
US teams use a dedicated developer to keep a roadmap moving while they recruit, to add AI skills, or to cover work that doesn't justify a full-time US hire.
Swipe the table sideways to compare all four options.
| Dedicated developer (staff augmentation) | Project outsourcing | Freelancer | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who directs the work | You | The agency | You | You |
| Time to start | Days: two profiles in 48 hours | Weeks: scoping and a proposal | Days | Months: recruiting and notice periods |
| How you pay | Hourly or monthly | Fixed price or milestones | Hourly or per task | Salary, benefits and recruiting costs |
| If the person leaves | Free replacement within five working days | The agency's problem | You start again | You recruit again |
| Best for | Ongoing work inside your own team | A defined project you don't want to manage | Small, short tasks | Core long-term roles |
If you have a fixed-scope project and would rather not manage developers yourself, our tech development service delivers it for you instead. See tech development services.

India is where much of the US and UK's outside software work is already done. According to the Reserve Bank of India, India exported $204.7 billion of software services in 2024-25; 52.9% went to the United States and 15.5% to the United Kingdom. Source: Reserve Bank of India
The rates on this page are what you pay. No sales call needed to find out the cost.
You interview the developer before they start. You are never assigned someone from a pool.
We are an IBM Partner and the company behind the AI agents in our Bot Store, so our AI engineers work on real agent projects.
Two-week trial with the developer you choose. No charge if you stop within the first five working days. Free replacement within five working days, with a handover overlap, for as long as the contract runs.
Our developers use AI coding assistants where they speed the work up: boilerplate, tests and refactoring. Three rules apply on every client project. A person reviews every AI-assisted change before it reaches your repository. Your code and data never go into public AI tools. And if your company has its own AI policy, we follow it instead.
Add a developer for a roadmap push or a backlog without a long hiring cycle.
White-label developers who work under your brand, in your repositories, for your clients.

Engineers for AI agents, retrieval (RAG) and LLM integration, including IBM watsonx.
Whoever you hire from, these six questions separate a dependable dedicated developer from a risky one. Here are our answers.
The named developer you interviewed. They are named in the contract and never swapped without your agreement.
Four hours for UK teams (09:00 to 13:00 UK time) and three for US Eastern teams on the evening shift.
You do. It is committed to your repositories and the IP is assigned to you.
We replace them within five working days, with a handover overlap, at no extra cost.
A person reviews every AI-assisted change, and your code never goes into public AI tools.
Against timesheets, every two weeks on hourly plans, or in advance on monthly plans, in USD or GBP.
Mid-level developers are $25 an hour, senior developers $35 and AI / LLM engineers $45. A monthly plan of 160 hours costs $3,400, $4,750 or $6,100, about 15% below the hourly rate.
Staff augmentation means adding outside developers to your own team for as long as you need them. You manage their work day to day; the provider employs them, pays them and replaces them if needed. Hiring a dedicated developer from Webify.AI is staff augmentation, billed by the hour or the month.
Two-week trial with the developer you choose. No charge if you stop within the first five working days. After that you carry on hourly or move to a monthly plan.
We send two profiles within 48 hours of your request, each showing when that developer is available. Once you've interviewed them and chosen one, they start on the date you agree.
Hourly plans start at 80 hours a month. Monthly plans are 160 hours.
Yes. The minimum is 80 hours a month, so a piece of work lasting a month or two fits an hourly plan.
Yes. You can combine mid-level developers, senior developers and AI engineers. Each is named in the contract and billed at their own rate.
UK clients get 09:00 to 13:00 UK time every working day, inside a normal Indian working day, at no extra cost. US Eastern clients get 09:00 to 12:00 US Eastern time through an evening shift, at 15% extra.
Yes. All client communication is in English, written and spoken: your calls, chat channels, tickets and pull requests.
We put forward developers whose experience matches your stack and seniority and who are free on your start date. You then interview them yourself, so the final choice is always yours.
You do. IP is assigned to you, and we sign your NDA before the first call.
It stays with you. The code lives in your repositories and the IP is assigned to you, so ending the engagement doesn't affect your ownership.
Free replacement within five working days, with a handover overlap, for as long as the contract runs.
Yes, where it speeds the work up. A person reviews all AI-assisted code before it reaches you, and your code never goes into public AI tools.
Hourly plans start at 80 hours a month and are billed every two weeks against timesheets. Monthly plans (160 hours) are billed in advance. US clients pay in USD, UK clients in GBP.
They are Webify.AI team members working from our delivery centre in Ahmedabad, India, and join your tools, channels and stand-ups like the rest of your team.
Yes. Agencies can hire white-label developers who work under the agency's brand and never contact its clients. See the page on developers for agencies.
Tell us the role and when you need someone. We'll email two named developers with their experience and availability, and you choose who to interview.
