Hire iOS Developers: In-house vs. Outsourcing

See Pros and Cons

Assembling the right in-house team of iOS developers takes 8-10 months on average. Meanwhile, cooperation with a vendor gives you the necessary resources in under 1 week.
Your choice of talents is always limited if you hire in-house. Today’s online collaboration tools let you leverage the skills of professionals from all over the world, and vendors’ assistance in hiring talents make this option fast, cost-effective, and easy (legal-wise).
The differences in geolocation of outsourced developers usually create differences in their hourly rates, which can help you optimize the costs of an iOS development project.
