Svelte developers in the US charge about $35 to $122 per hour on vetted marketplaces, with agencies billing $108 to $195. Full-time base salaries typically fall between $92,000 and $160,000.

Less than it looks. Any strong front-end engineer picks up Svelte in days, and the framework's simplicity means smaller codebases to hand over. The real constraint is finding day-one productive seniors.
Rates run slightly below React at the top end, mostly reflecting demand rather than skill. The productivity per hour is often better for content-heavy and interactive-marketing work.
Performance-sensitive sites, embedded widgets, and products where a small team wants maximum output per engineer. For a large app expecting many future hires, React's pool may matter more than the framework.
