Heads up: we're Ryz Labs, so we have skin in this game. What follows is the advice we give buyers on calls, including the times we tell them to go with someone else.
Choose Ryz Labs if you're a US enterprise and you want senior Latin American engineers working inside your team, in your standups and repos, within one hour (±1h) of US time zones. We're trusted by Fortune 500 engineering teams, and only the top 1% make it through our vetting. We also run AI pod teams that build AI systems inside your stack. Choose Revelo if you want to hire many full-time LatAm engineers quickly through a platform, with a published trial and EOR, and you're happy to manage them yourself.
A self-serve platform pool. Revelo says it has 400K+ vetted developers across Latin America. If you want to hire many full-time engineers through a platform and manage them yourself, Revelo's network is built for that.
A published trial and month-to-month terms. Revelo offers a two-week risk-free trial ("pay only if you're happy," in its words), month-to-month billing and no upfront contracts. Those terms are written down before you ever talk to sales. We don't publish a trial, so on this point Revelo is simply easier to say yes to.
EOR and compliance in 18 countries. Revelo handles payroll, benefits, taxes and compliance across 18 Latin American countries. If you want full-time LatAm hires without setting up local entities, that's a real convenience.
Speed to a shortlist. Revelo says you get an expert-curated shortlist in 48 hours (72 hours on some pages) and that most developers are onboarded and shipping code within 14 days. We don't publish a standard timeline.
A hands-on partner, not a platform. Revelo's model puts ongoing technical management with you; its talent management is described as managing the employment relationship plus quarterly retention check-ins. We stay closer to each search.
Top 1% vetting you can see. 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. Only the top 1% make it, out of tens of thousands of engineers interviewed. Then you get a recruiter-curated shortlist and run the final interview yourself. You keep the person. Our vetting and placement page walks through it.
Embedded in your team on New York hours. Our engineers work within one hour of US time zones, so standups, pairing and code review happen the same day. They join your standups, your repos and your roadmap from week one, as part of your team. Revelo says its engineers work within 2 hours of US Eastern. For teams with lots of live pairing, the extra hour matters.
AI pod teams that build inside your cloud and ship to production. Our second business is dedicated pods of senior engineers (a typical shape is about 7 people, including a tech lead, an ML engineer and backend engineers) that work inside your cloud, repos and CI, in your standups, with weekly demos. They work in AWS, Azure, GitHub, Postgres, and Anthropic and OpenAI models. When the system is done you can add people or disciplines, or have the whole system handed over to your team. Our case studies show this in production: fraud detection for a global fleet company that 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 that took review of 8,000+ documents from days to hours; and an AI voice platform with 1M+ outbound calls. Client names aren't public, so ask us for references.
Trusted by US enterprises across industries. We're trusted by Fortune 500 engineering teams and work with US enterprises across industries, including financial services. Our recruiting AI is governed under EU AI Act high-risk requirements, and we follow GDPR and CCPA/CPRA. That matters when your security and procurement teams ask how candidates were screened.
Beyond engineering hires. We also place data, product, design, recruiting, sales and marketing people, and run direct-hire placement and executive search.
Revelo doesn't publish a rate card. Quotes come from a calculator and depend on seniority, stack and country. Revelo says you can expect 30-50% savings over US hires, and its terms are month-to-month with a two-week risk-free trial and no upfront contract.
Our pricing is a custom quote, scoped per team. A single senior engineer and a full AI pod are different engagements, so we price them separately. After a first conversation you get a scoped plan, a price, and the names of the people who would do the work. If you want published terms before you talk to anyone, Revelo is the more transparent option on that front.
More options: see our list of Revelo alternatives, our guide to hiring Latin American engineers directly (direct hire vs EOR), and our best Latin American staff augmentation companies.
We can't say. Neither of us publishes a rate card. Ask both for a quote on the same role and seniority, and check what each price includes (payroll, benefits, replacement, management).
Revelo handles payroll, benefits, taxes and compliance as part of its model. With us, ask in the first call how employment and contracts work for your specific engagement, since staff augmentation and direct-hire placement differ.
Not many on Clutch: one review as of October 2026, rated 5.0/5 (per Clutch, Oct 2026). We have few public reviews too. Ask both for references you can call.
We don't publish one. If that's your top requirement, Revelo or another option in our guide to Latin American staff augmentation companies is a better fit. Otherwise, talk to us.
