1000+ on-demand developers
with startup hustle

When you hire from a mega-corp, you’re likely funding much more than developer rates

salaries for 500-person teams aren’t conjured up from thin air. budgets for big marketing spends aren’t, either. With a startup like lemon, chances your fees are fueling the daily ops of a massive global hiring machine are zero.

Lemon’s low overhead means this:

we can charge less while still giving you access to top senior talent.

Clean communication, focused

One of the best experiences I had with developers in general.. Give them a try. They are absolutely worth it
// Tim

A perfectly crafted price : quality ratio

Lemon is a great middle ground between very expensive dev providers, and more risky crap-shoots like Upwork. the price/quality ratio is as good as i've found

Why you’ll never have incompetent devs sabotaging your product release with Lemon

Your developers from Lemon are rigorously tested and pre-vetted for technical, social and communication skills

The startup hustle isn’t ideal for every engineer. That’s why we vet our developers — ruthlessly and thoroughly — to save you time and stress in the long run.

We call the Lemon vetting process the 4 levels of judgment, when 1,000 developers step forth to join the lemon developerhood, only 300 are appointed.

The result? A utopia of outstaffed software engineers.
