Hire Remote

Xamarin Developers

Xamarin is a great cross-platform technology that allows engineers to build multiple apps for different platforms with a single codebase. A unified approach simplifies development, speeding up the process and cutting the cost. You don’t need to find separate specialists or teams for Android and iOS development. Instead, you can hire a dedicated Xamarin developer to build both mobile apps without compromising the quality or look of these apps.

Generally speaking, we can build any application for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac with Xamarin. However, it’s mostly used for mobile solutions. For instance, it might make more sense to go with .NET for Windows applications. Regarding features, Xamarin works best with apps that need to support an offline mode and handle lots of data locally. By contrast, it might be better to build consumer-facing applications with heavy UI with other technologies. Reach out to us, and we’ll suggest the optimal tech stack for your particular project. There are plenty of cross-platform tools that we’re proficient at, and we’ll help you navigate through the technologies that can be used with Xamarin or other frameworks.

The short answer is yes. When you need to hire Xamarin developers, you can either search for them locally and go through all the hiring processes internally or trust an outsourcing provider that will find remote developers for you. With the latter option, you’re saving time and money on the administrative processes, and on top of that, you’ll have a wide pool of candidates to choose from, based on their hourly rates, seniority level, niche expertise, etc. Overall, deciding to hire remote Xamarin developers will likely be the most cost- and time-efficient solution.

The time it will take to build cross-platform apps on Xamarin depends on a number of factors, such as design requirements, integration with third-party services, and platform-specific customizations. For instance, you can create unified UIs by using Xamarin Forms or go for platform-specific UIs, and the latter option will be a little longer. However, the most important factor that will define the scope of work is the nature of the product and the required features. For example, if your applications need to render a lot of heavy data, the process of development will involve more steps compared to apps that don’t store or process data. To give you a rough estimate, a simple app will take around 2 months to complete, while complex solutions that require integrations, security compliance, or advanced technologies will take around 6-12 months.

As for the cost, the biggest influencing factor is developer rates. For instance, to hire Xamarin developers in the USA, you’ll have to deal with hourly rates of $60-100 or even higher. By contrast, hiring specialists from Europe will cost you much less ($30-50 per hour per developer on average). Apart from developer rates, the cost will be affected by functionality, design, and integrations. The bigger the scale of your application and the more features you need, the higher the final cost. Also, you need to consider other costs associated with app development: Visual Studio subscription, Microsoft Azure hosting services, third-party libraries, and so on.

The easiest way to hire a Xamarin development team is to find a reliable outsourcing provider. Search for development companies on specialized platforms like Clutch, explore their portfolios, and read client testimonials. Find a company whose developers have already built something similar and that offers models of cooperation that work for you.
