Full disclosure: we're Ryz Labs, and we're one of the options on this page. We think we're the better choice for most teams, and we'll show you why. Everything we say about other companies comes from their own sites and public listings, linked at the end.
BairesDev is one of the best-known names in Latin American outsourcing. It says it has 4,000+ engineers across 100+ technologies, and it sells staff augmentation, dedicated teams led by its own technical PMs, full project outsourcing and AI development work under one roof. It doesn't publish rates, and Clutch lists a $50,000+ minimum project size. Buyers usually start looking at alternatives when they want something more specific: senior engineers who work on their own team, to their own leads, on New York hours, or a dedicated team that builds and ships AI systems. For that, our pick is Ryz Labs. Here's how the field compares.
If you want senior engineers working on your own team, we're the best alternative to BairesDev. Fortune 500 engineering teams trust us for exactly this. Our engineers join your standups, your repos and your roadmap from week one, on US business hours, so review and pairing happen the same day. They work to your leads, and the knowledge stays with your team.
Only the top 1% make it, out of tens of thousands of engineers interviewed. Recruiters source candidates, our in-house ARC system ranks the pipeline, every candidate goes through a structured NTRVSTA AI interview, and recruiters review each one before and after. AI scores are advisory; people decide. You get a recruiter-curated shortlist and run the final interview yourself. Our vetting process page shows every step.
If you came to BairesDev for AI work, our AI pod teams are built for it: dedicated pods of senior engineers (often around seven, with a tech lead and an ML engineer) that build AI systems in your cloud and repos, with weekly demos. Their work is in production: fraud detection that has scored 244K+ invoices in under 30 seconds each and surfaced $5.94M in fraud confirmed by the client's fraud team, a compliance system that took review of 8,000+ documents from days to hours, and an AI voice platform with 1M+ outbound calls. See our case studies.
Before you sign, you get a scoped plan, a price, and the names of the people who would do the work. For a head-to-head, see Ryz Labs vs BairesDev.
Globant is NYSE-listed, grew out of Buenos Aires, and had about 28,800 employees at the end of 2025. It sells traditional engineering programs plus "AI Pods," a subscription model in which AI agents do the work under Globant expert supervision, billed as a monthly minimum usage fee plus a variable fee. That's a different product from a named team of engineers in your standups.
Revelo is a talent platform. They say they have 400K+ vetted LatAm developers working within two hours of US Eastern time in 18 countries. They publish a two-week trial and month-to-month terms. Day-to-day technical management sits with you.
Howdy provides coaching, equipment and access to its "Howdy Houses" offices. They say a full hiring cycle takes four to six weeks.
Endava is NYSE-listed and has a dedicated payments practice; they claim "90% of largest payment companies count on us." Delivery comes from Eastern Europe and Latin America, so working hours depend on where your team sits.
Nearsure, with 600+ experts across 18 LatAm countries, was acquired by Nortal in 2025. The combined company offers LatAm staff augmentation alongside enterprise transformation work, and the Nearsure site now redirects to Nortal.
If you want senior engineers on your own team on New York hours, or an AI pod team that ships to production, talk to us. Our guide to Latin American staff augmentation companies compares the wider field.
For US teams that want top 1% senior engineers on their own team on US hours, Ryz Labs. You see a scoped plan, a price and the names of your engineers before you sign, and you can add an AI pod team when you need AI built and shipped.
Almost nobody here publishes rates. Revelo quotes by calculator, and Clutch lists a $50,000+ minimum project for BairesDev. Get written quotes for the same seniority and stack, and ask each vendor who exactly would do the work. We include the names in ours.
If you want a dedicated team that builds and ships an AI system in your cloud, Ryz Labs' AI pod teams have systems in production, from fraud detection to an AI voice platform with 1M+ outbound calls. Globant's AI Pods are a metered subscription to supervised AI agents. See our nearshore AI engineering teams guide.
Ryz engineers work on US business hours. Revelo says its developers work within two hours of US Eastern. Globant and Endava deliver from several regions, so ask where your team would sit.
Everything here was checked against each company's own site and public sources in October 2026. Vendors change terms often, so confirm before you sign.
