Proxify pricing works as a bundled monthly rate, not just a raw developer wage.
All expenses are included, with no hidden costs embedded anywhere in the engagement. Proxify positions its model as straightforward and stress-free, built to make budgeting predictable.
How Proxify structures its pricing
Proxify's pricing calculator generates estimates based on developer count, weekly hours, and client location. For one developer at 40 hours per week, the quoted figure runs approximately $8,800/month or $55/hour.
Prices range between $40 and $65 per hour depending on developer level and skills, with a minimum commitment of 40 work hours per month.
This number is an estimate and may increase or decrease depending on project complexity, tech stack, and the developer's experience.
What the rate covers
The monthly rate bundles significantly more than developer time alone. Proxify's all-in-one platform handles task management, progress tracking, and invoicing, with full transparency over developer work hours and project milestones.
Here is what every engagement includes:
Talent vetting — developers represent the top 2% of talent worldwide, passing technical assessments, coding tests, and senior engineer interviews
Matching and sourcing — candidates move from role requirements to match in just 2 days on average
HR and admin support — Proxify acts as a long-term partner offering personal support in onboarding, HR, and admin
Compliance coverage — Proxify is compliant with global workforce regulations, including the Dutch DBA Act and the UK's IR35, eliminating misclassification risks
Replacement support — if the fit is not right, Proxify presents new candidates within 48 hours
Contract-to-hire option — if the engagement goes well, clients can transition developers onto their own payroll, with Proxify continuing to handle payroll services seamlessly
Proxify vs. alternatives: Quick comparison
Factor | Open marketplaces | Toptal | |
|---|---|---|---|
Vetting included | Yes (top 2%) | No | Yes (top 3%) |
Billing model | Monthly / hourly | Hourly, variable | Hourly + $79/mo fee |
Minimum commitment | 40 hours/month | None | None stated |
Replacement support | 48-hour guarantee | No | 14-day trial |
Estimated hourly rate | $40–$65 | Lower, variable | $100–$200+ |
Hidden fees | None | Variable service fees | Deposit required |
Proxify carries no hidden fees, while Upwork's variable service fees, starting May 2025, range from 0–15% depending on client demand, which is less predictable than a fixed structure. Toptal charges $100–$200+ per hour plus a $79 monthly platform subscription.
When Proxify pricing makes sense
Proxify delivers the strongest cost-benefit ratio when speed and hiring risk matter. At $45–$55 per hour with a two-week timeline and pre-vetted candidates, teams start in month one instead of month two.
Proxify's model offers the flexibility innovative companies demand, with team adjustments possible on just one month's notice, free from traditional employment constraints.
Teams chasing the lowest possible raw rate may prefer open marketplaces. But total cost must include screening time, onboarding overhead, and the real risk of a mis-hire.
