Software development outsourcing. Why companies choose Algeria.

— FAQ

What's the difference between nearshore and offshore?

Nearshore means outsourcing to a nearby country with cultural alignment. Algiers is a 2-hour flight from Paris, same timezone, French-speaking. Offshore (India, Vietnam) means 5-10 hour time difference, language barriers, async communication.

Is the quality the same as European agencies?

Our engineers follow the same standards: TDD, systematic code review, CI/CD, documentation. We use the same stacks (TypeScript, Python, Go, Kubernetes). The difference is cost of living, not competence.

How does intellectual property transfer work?

NDA signed on day one. All code belongs to you from the moment it's written. Private repository under your GitHub/GitLab organization. Complete handover at project end.

What is the cost of outsourcing software development to Algeria?

A senior fullstack developer costs €200-350/day from Algiers, compared to €600-800/day in Paris or London. For a 6-month project with 3 developers, expect €60-120K instead of €150-250K.
