How much does it cost to hire React Native developers at Lemon.io?

Finding a decent React developer for a moderate price is no piece of cake. Nevertheless, Lemon.io has done everything possible to offer the most beneficial prices for our Western clients. What’s our secret? Naturally, we don’t spare on quality — we bet on quantity and differences in cost of living. Eastern and Central Europe are much cheaper than the US, and the developers’ rates are also slightly lower than in America. However, European specialists are no worse than the US ones. They always deliver the desired results in time. By the way, the time zone difference between Europe and the USA is pretty convenient: morning in America means the same day’s evening in Europe. Lemon.io can offer you talented React Native developers for $55-65 per hour — and be sure they will hit it out of the park!

How much do React Native developers make at Lemon?

The rate of React Native developers we offer to Western startups can depend on many factors. First of all, and most obvious, the sum they earn per hour is contingent on their proficiency level. We don’t work with junior developers, but Middle React Native and Senior React Native programmers can have significantly different rates. Besides, we are not their employers — thus, we don’t dictate their rates. We can only advise to amend them so they could find a job more easily. Most React Native Seniors can make up to $65-70 per hour. For middles, it’s slightly less — say, up to $60.

Should I use React Native in 2022?

To answer this question, you should know what’s React Native and where it’s used. React Native is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript-based framework helping to write splendid and efficient applications that will work on multiple platforms — say, on your new iPhone and your old Android-based Nokia. Cross-platform frameworks help spare time and workforce: instead of hiring a few separate teams that will adapt your app to different platforms and usage modes, you can use React Native (created by the Facebook company), Xamarin (created by Microsoft), or Flutter — and forget about all the pains brought by adaptation. For the past decade, app development has been living through its best years (the COVID pandemic has greatly instigated its pace). If something doesn’t have an app, it quickly becomes obsolete in the smartphone civilization. So — yes, you’ll probably need React Native gurus this year. And the following one.

Do big companies use React Native?

Let us remind you that React Native is a creation of Facebook — one of the world’s most prominent and influential IT companies. Currently, this cross-platform framework comes in handy for quite many companies and startups. It is unquestionably reliable, so no wonder. The vast majority of the companies using React Native have been developing the applications used for communication (Skype, Instagram), accommodation (Airbnb), and shopping (Walmart, Shopify). In addition to what has been already mentioned, React Native is a part of Pinterest and Tesla core. Big chances are that the number of React Native users will grow exponentially — it offers plenty of pros for developers and makes app development easier, quicker, and more customizable.

Why is React Native so difficult?

The main mission of React Native authors was to make the application development more stable and effortless than ever before. This open-source platform gives developers the advantage of access to a massive community of React developers worldwide. Backed by Facebook, React Native possesses a better and more reliable API and focuses on fixing all the possible problems. However, together with the advantages, React Native has its own bottlenecks and tough issues as well. Difficult in debugging. Since React Native apps are built on Java/C/JS, it’s rather hard to find problematic issues in their code. Multiple UI constraints. For the applications presupposing multiple screens, animation, and complex UI/UX interactions, React Native is probably not the best choice. General framework immaturity. React Native framework updates are quick, sequential, and copious. What are their immediate consequences? Every new update/release comprises so many important components that they can’t help influencing the overall framework stability. Developers just don’t have enough time to acclimatize to the alterations — before they get used to the older change pack, the new one is already knocking at the door.

If your startup has already found Flutter, Python, or Angular aces, it’s time to hire React Native pros — and here’s why.

Let’s roll!

Hire your tech legend

Yevhen is an experienced middle front-end developer. He’s proficient in React, knows JavaScript fundamentals quite well, and writes clean good-looking code.

Meet a senior dev with 6 years of experience. He’s an expert at JavaScript with superior HTML and CSS skills, bridging the gap between design and development.

Taras is a tech lead with a proper understanding of his role of a dev practitioner. He is an expert in agile methodologies and all the required engineering procedures.

Liviu is a passionate developer with over 10 years of industry experience, tech-leading experience, and a solid understanding of numerous business domains.

Bogdan is a mature engineer who can work autonomously and asynchronously, delivering high-quality code and communicating well with rest of the team.

Alex is a high-skilled front-end engineer who knows Angular from top to bottom. Problem-solving attitude and new feature implementation are his winning sides.

What is React Native?

React Native is a JavaScript framework helping to create and render mobile applications for Android or iOS. Its core is React, Facebook’s JavaScript library that’s insurmountable in building user interfaces. It doesn’t target the browser. It targets mobile platforms — and that’s why React Native web developers can create mobile applications that look and feel genuinely «native» — all from the comfort of a familiar and cozy JavaScript library, employing the JS programming language and tech stack.

React Native means faster development and effective code sharing via iOS or Android. The RN applications will render with mobile UI components instead of webviews and look like mobile apps.

What can you do with React Native?

React Native mobile app development will be straightforward if you are skillful. They will have all functions of a native application — but you’ll develop them using familiar tools. React Native is a significant leap forward from casual mobile development in two other areas: developer experience and cross-platform development potential. One more bonus of React Native we’ve forgotten to mention: since most of your code could be cross-platform, it will be easy to develop apps for both Android and iOS. Since React Native exposes JavaScript interfaces for platform APIs, your newly built apps can access platform features like the phone camera or the user’s location.

What famous mobile applications use React Native?

Netflix
Bloomberg
Airbnb
Gyroscope
UberEats
WhatsApp
Spotify Lite

What features are a must-have for React Native developers?

Truly high-class React Native developers should:

Know JavaScript like the back of their hand;
Employ the React Native framework;
Understand and use the Reactjs library;
Implement Object-Oriented Principles;
Develop applications using MVC architecture.

What do React Native developers pay attention to in job descriptions?

What red flags can stop genuine Jacks of all trades from joining your startup team? The job role, the position description, the number and type of interviews, and the final salary greatly influence the type of candidates you’re hoping to attract.

An excellent React Native developer is eager to come across the following information:

A clear description of the working duties (type of application, programming language, core aims, etc.);
Technical skills (version of React Native, additional programs to work with);
Project scope (short-term or long-term, type of application, etc.);
Required experience level (junior, mid-level, senior);
Compensation;
Working conditions (schedule, overtime, team description).

The not-so-convenient ways to hire a React developer

Typically, when it comes to hiring React developers people rush to do the following things.

Hiring (from) friends

We say, it’s a risky option. There is nothing wrong with hiring this way. You know you can count on the people you hire, that’s awesome.

If you hire a friend and they screw up it might be difficult to approach them with criticism
You can’t be sure your friend doesn’t mix personal and professional relationships: at some point, professional criticism can be taken personally
If you hire from friends, the skill sets at your disposal can be quite limited.

There are many cases when friends work together on a business and maintain good relationships no matter what. But there are also many cases when friends who tried to work together ended up as enemies.

Job boards

Places like React Job Board, GitHub Jobs, or JavaScript Works are cool places where you can hire React developers. Especially if you know what skills and competences you are looking for. And if you have the time to review the portfolios, test the candidates, and conduct interviews.

Social networks

Of course, LinkedIn! How could we forget? Good, even more candidates to review, test, and interview.

Development companies

Good choice. That is, if you can afford to hire a development company.

How can you hire dedicated React Native developers?

Of course, you can google, scan the Internet, read the reviews, or address some consultants. But think twice before embarking on this potentially dangerous journey.

Checking their skills, abilities, and credentials will be tough if you are not an IT specialist. First, you need plenty of time (especially if your startup needs the whole team). One person’s test will take you half a day to separate the wheat from the chaff on the general level. You’d better prepare to be off for a week or more.

If the chosen candidates fail to satisfy your expectations immediately, you must halt all the processes and start the search from scratch. We bet you’ve just felt a slight chill go down your spine. OK, just one more question.

Do you want to find them yourself? Probably not. Here come the marketplaces! There are two main kinds of them.

Bidding platforms

With bidding marketplaces, you post your bid (job description and money offer) and sieve all the candidates yourself before you hire remote React Native developers. Accept or reject — that’s up to you. Trust their credentials or not — see above. No guarantees, significantly more variants, and they are much cheaper. Here are some variants of the kind.

One of the largest online crowdsourcing marketplaces. Publish your job description and the sum you would like to give a contractor, wait for the bids to appear, and hire React Native engineers from the top-notch community. How credible is the information of the specialists on this website? You’ll never know until you try. The good thing is that the offers are genuinely copious and your conditions will surely be met. P.S. Be prepared to handle your problems yourself due to poor customer service.

The oldest and the biggest freelance bidding website. If you are looking for freelancers, punch «hire freelancer,» and voila — you are there. The considerable number of options and available resumes mitigate the risks of the bidding platforms. You will surely hire the React Native app developers you need — but probably via trial and error.

Vetting platforms

If you’d rather outsource the search to the professional matching and support team, you need to look for the vetting kind. These platforms test all the developers available for hire. They check professional skills and deeply analyze CVs and LinkedIn profiles. Some vetting marketplaces even test the English language proficiency of the candidates. You’d be able to communicate all your needs in the international lingua franca and give clear feedback. That’s the consultancy you need, right?

This vetting marketplace connects the top 1% of the world’s coding talents with the Valley companies. The «intelligent talent cloud» technology, partly AI-based vetting, and numerous onboarding tools turn the hiring of React Native professionals on this website into an exciting endeavor. Surely worth trying for experiment lovers.

They surely know their rogue business. This vetting platform will help you find and hire the desired coder, offering a decent pool of pre-vetted React Native software engineers who survived 4-stage testing.
