Frequently asked questions

How much does a React developer cost in the US?

Between $38 and $132 per hour on vetted marketplaces depending on seniority, $115 to $210 through an agency, or $98,000 to $172,000 in base salary full-time.

Why is React talent both cheap and expensive?

Supply is huge at the junior level, which keeps entry rates low. Engineers who can architect and maintain a large React application are a much smaller group and price like the specialists they are.

Should I hire a React developer or a Next.js developer?

If your product runs on Next.js, hire for it directly. If you have a custom React setup or an internal tool, a strong general React profile covers you and widens the pool.

What interview signal matters most for React hires?

Ask them to critique a component tree or state approach rather than reciting hook APIs. Architectural judgment, not API recall, is what you are paying senior rates for.
