Offshore vs Onshore Software Development: Real Cost Comparison

Compare UK/US agencies vs offshore teams — quality, communication, hidden costs, and ROI.

Should you hire a local UK/US agency or an offshore team in India? Both can work — here's an honest comparison.

Onshore agencies

Pros: same timezone, face-to-face possible. Cons: $150–$250/hr, projects often $100K+ for the same scope.

Offshore (India)

Pros: 60–70% cost savings, large talent pool, English fluency. Cons: need clear communication and documented scope.
