Vetted, published rate
$50–80/hr
Freelance / agency
US in-house
Match.dev's $50–80/hr is our published rate — the same whatever the stack or region, with no fees until you hire and a $150 credit for the intro call. Freelance/agency and US in-house figures are typical market estimates for illustration, not quotes: senior open-market rates commonly run $80–150/hr, and a US in-house senior engineer's fully loaded cost (salary + benefits, tax, equipment, overhead) is typically 30–40% above base salary. Your actual numbers depend on the specific hire.
