Ryz Labs vs Revelo

Both connect US companies with Latin American engineers. Here's why teams that want senior people on their own team, on New York hours, choose Ryz.

Heads up: we're Ryz Labs, so we have skin in this game. This is the case we make to buyers on calls. Facts about other providers come from their own published information, linked at the end.

The short answer

For most US engineering teams, Ryz Labs is the better choice. You get top 1% senior engineers who join your standups, your repos and your roadmap from week one, on US business hours. Recruiters do the heavy vetting before you meet anyone, and before you sign you see a scoped plan, a price, and the names of the people who would do the work. When you need AI built, you get an AI pod team that works in your cloud and ships to production. Fortune 500 engineering teams trust us for exactly this.

Revelo is a nearshore talent platform: US companies hire full-time Latin American engineers through it, from 18 countries. It fits if you want individual hires and plan to manage them yourself. If you want senior engineers working on your team, vetted by recruiters before you meet them, pick Ryz.

Why Ryz is the better choice

Senior engineers who become part of your team. Our engineers join your standups, your repos and your roadmap from week one. They work to your leads, in your process, so the code and the knowledge stay with your team.

Top 1% vetting, done before you meet anyone. We've interviewed tens of thousands of engineers, and only the top 1% make it. Recruiters source candidates, our in-house ARC system ranks the pipeline, and every candidate goes through a structured NTRVSTA AI interview. Recruiters review each candidate before and after that interview. AI scores are advisory, and people make the decisions. You get a recruiter-curated shortlist and run the final interview yourself. Our vetting process page walks through every step.

New York hours, every day. Our engineers work on US business hours, so standups, pairing and code review happen the same day. Revelo says its engineers work within two hours of US Eastern.

AI pod teams that ship to production. Our second business is dedicated pods of senior engineers that build AI systems in your cloud, repos and CI, in your standups, with weekly demos. A typical pod is about 7 people, including a tech lead, an ML engineer and backend engineers, working in AWS, Azure, GitHub, Postgres, and Anthropic and OpenAI models. The work is in production. Fraud detection for a global fleet company has scored 244K+ invoices in under 30 seconds each, with $5.94M in fraud confirmed by the client's own fraud team. A marketing-compliance system for a global capital management firm took review of 8,000+ documents from days to hours. An AI voice platform has made 1M+ outbound calls. See our case studies.

You see the team before you commit. After a first conversation you get a scoped plan, a price, and the names of the people who would do the work. If you'd rather hire someone directly, we also run direct-hire placement and executive search.

Trusted by Fortune 500 engineering teams, across industries. We work with US enterprises in every industry, including financial services, and we bring decades of LatAm expertise. Our recruiting AI is governed under EU AI Act high-risk requirements, and we follow GDPR and CCPA/CPRA, so your security and procurement teams get clear answers on screening.

How Revelo works

Revelo was founded in 2015 and says it has 400K+ vetted developers across 18 Latin American countries. Companies hire full-time remote engineers through its platform. It says you get a curated shortlist in 48 hours (72 on some pages) and that most developers are onboarded and shipping code within 14 days. Billing is month to month, and technical direction sits with the client.

When Revelo might make sense

Pricing

Revelo doesn't publish a rate card. Quotes come from a calculator and depend on seniority, stack and country, and the monthly rate is all-in. Revelo advertises "30-50% savings over US hires," with month-to-month billing and no upfront contract. For the full breakdown, see Revelo pricing.

Our typical cost is $7,000 to $15,000 per engineer per month (mid-level $7,000 to $10,000, senior $10,000 to $15,000, leads $15,000+ quoted per team), and every quote is scoped per team. What makes it different is what comes with the quote: a scoped plan, a price, and the names of the people who would do the work, before you sign anything.
