Who we work with

Not sure embedded engineers are the right fit?
We compared them with hiring in-house, freelancers, agencies, nearshore and offshore teams, including where each alternative is the better call.
Embedded engineers vs
Hiring in-house
Hiring in-house makes sense when the role will exist for years and you can wait three to four months.
CompareEmbedded engineers vs
Freelancers
A freelancer suits small, bounded work you can specify, such as a short specialist task or testing an idea.
CompareEmbedded engineers vs
Software agencies
Pick an agency when you want a defined product built and handed over, with someone else owning delivery.
CompareEmbedded engineers vs
Nearshore teams in Eastern Europe
Nearshore teams in Eastern Europe make sense when you need a full working day of timezone overlap and cost matters less.
CompareEmbedded engineers vs
Offshore development companies
A large offshore development company suits you when you need volume on well-specified work and have the management capacity to run it.
CompareEmbedded engineers vs
Freelance platforms
A freelance platform suits short, self-contained work where you want to browse many profiles quickly.
