Unfortunately, BairesDev does not disclose their costs or margins on their website, which could be due to the complexity of building remote teams. Since most of the publicly available information focuses on projects delivered to U.S.–based companies, this analysis centers specifically on what U.S. clients can expect to pay — and how much of that payment may reach the developer.

As an end-to-end solution committed to transparency, Teilur believes it is critical for companies to understand the full breakdown between client cost and developer compensation. In this article, we examine BairesDev’s pricing structure and offer insights for organizations in the U.S. evaluating nearshore hiring partners.

BairesDev cost for companies in the U.S.

While we could not find where BairesDev specifically outlines their cost structure, we found that Clutch.co provides some information that can give you a rough idea of what you can expect to pay depending on the size of your organization and type of talent you are looking for. 

The summary we found concludes that BairesDev costs on average $50 - $99 per hour. For a full-time candidate this would translate to $98,000/yr on the low end and to $190,000/yr on the high end.

After looking in detail through dozens of reviews for some pricing information, we found a review from a client that provides insight into how much BairesDev may charge your organization.

SmartObjx pricing review

According to the review, the total cost for a 1-year engagement involving two Senior Developers ranged from $200,000 to nearly $1,000,000. The reviewer also mentioned that the developers were sourced from Central and South America.

While the review provides a useful reference point, it does not specify the exact breakdown of payments per developer or how much of the total fee represented platform costs versus direct compensation.

Based on typical market rates in the region and the seniority described, it is reasonable to assume that each developer was positioned at the higher end of the LATAM senior-level salary range. However, without visibility into BairesDev’s internal pricing model, the precise distribution of costs — including how much the developers ultimately received — remains unclear.

Our thoughts on the pricing structure of BairesDev

BairesDev has many positive reviews on Clutch and is recognized for its strong operational capabilities. However, the information publicly available does not specify how client payments are allocated between platform fees and developer compensation. For companies that prioritize clarity in how costs are structured, this lack of visibility can make it harder to evaluate overall value.

When comparing this with other models in the market, it is useful to look at approaches that emphasize upfront transparency. For example, Teilur Talent uses a pricing model in which all fees are disclosed before engagement, and at least 80% of the total payment goes directly to the developer. Based on current LATAM benchmarks, a senior DevOps engineer with Azure expertise typically falls in the range of $80,000–$85,000 per year, with the majority of that compensation reaching the engineer.

This comparison is not meant to evaluate BairesDev’s internal policies — which are not publicly available — but rather to highlight how different pricing models can affect cost predictability, developer retention, and long-term alignment between clients and talent.

The table above includes all fees, and at Teilur Talent, at least 80% of the payment goes to the candidate. Based on our pricing structure, a Sr. Developer should be around the $80,000/yr mark with at least 80% of that going directly to the developer supporting the client. 

How transparent rate pricing works

Transparent rate pricing is pivotal in fostering trust and fairness in remote recruiting. Teilur Talent champions this approach, which is structured around two essential pillars:

Transparency before interaction:

• Payments distribution between company and talent is openly shared.
• Ensures no more than 20% of a client's payment is retained by Teilur Talent.

Clarity in expected rates:

• Potential clients understand service rates before engagement.
• Disrupts industry norms by offering clear expected salaries or ranges on the website.

Conclusion

BairesDev offers strong delivery capabilities, but the lack of publicly available information about how client payments are allocated makes it difficult to assess true cost-to-value. In contrast, models that share salary ranges and fee structures upfront allow companies to better understand what they are paying for. As nearshore hiring continues to grow, transparency will be an increasingly important factor for organizations seeking reliable, long-term engineering partnerships in Latin America.
