About Arc.dev
Arc.dev is a developer marketplace that pre-vets contractors from Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa. They position themselves as a step up from generic freelance platforms — all developers are vetted, and they focus on senior talent.
But Arc.dev is still fundamentally a marketplace. You hire contractors — no HR, no payroll, no equipment. They charge a $300 refundable deposit to start, and rates vary wildly by region ($15–$110+/hour). There's no ongoing support or replacement guarantee beyond the initial match.
Arc.dev works well for short-term projects or when you need a specific skill quickly. For building a long-term team, the lack of infrastructure support is a gap.
