Top Ukraine Alternatives For Software Development Outsourcing
Did you know that Ukraine is the gold mine of software developers?
In other words, if the whole world’s IT industry was Avengers, Ukraine would be Iron Man, hands down.
And this is not even an exaggeration in any form. The country surprisingly has more than 200,000 tech specialists in its IT development industry. Even more surprisingly, 85% of those 200,000 tech specialists are working in software development companies.
Yes! That is how big the software development scene is in Ukraine. Here’s a comprehensive overview of Ukraine’s IT sector:
Looks amazing, right?
Unfortunately, with the ongoing situation, the world is not able to access Ukraine’s amazing services at the moment. The biggest IT Hubs in Ukraine are under attack sadly.
But worry not! We have researched all the best alternatives to Ukraine for software development:

Plus, the best part about outsourcing to Pakistan is the provision of end-to-end solutions, effective client relationships, and standardization of technology that collectively offer a good experience.
With so many other countries out there, when should Pakistan be your first priority? When you want quality software development and the development of complex systems.
2. Poland
It is impossible to talk about the alternatives to Ukraine for software development without mentioning Poland. Poland is also commonly referred to as the competitor of Ukraine in the IT industry.

Rated as the 12th most attractive outsourcing location, Poland is your best fit if you are looking for services in C++, Jaca, Python, and SQL. Plus, their hourly rates also range from $25 to $100.
Budget-friendly!
3. Belarus
Belarus has three different price groups depending on the agency and platform they work with. So, for Upwork, their software development rates range for an hour range from $20 to $60. On the other hand, if you look at Clutch, there are two different leading price groups. One group charges $25 to $50 per hour while the other one charges $50 to $100 per hour.
The best part about Belarus is its people’s proficiency in .NET, JavaScript, and Java. Their government also supports the software industry. Thanks to their government’s support, the country boasts 30,000 tech specialists. So, in your search for talent, you won’t be disappointed with Belarus and everything it has to offer in terms of Information and Technology.
4. China
Who doesn’t know about the pool of talent that is present in China? China surprisingly produces more than 4.7 million IT graduates every year and frankly, that is a lot! Imagine the number of resources you can bag just from China without paying super-high salaries as you would if you outsource to the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or the United States of America.
China even ranked first in HackerRank’s analysis of countries perfect to take part in a Programming Olympics. China has the best developers for Data Structures, Mathematics, Functional Programming, and so much more, you just need to know where to look.
So, if you want to utilize diverse talent, China is the place to go! Just make sure to hire a reputable outsourcing agency to establish rules before you start working.
