EPAM Systems, a global IT services provider, offers a wide range of services but maintains pricing confidentiality by requiring non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before disclosing precise budget data. This article examines EPAM's pricing strategy and contrasts it with Teilur Talent's transparent model, which emphasizes transparency in how much a client spends and how much a developer earns.
EPAM cost for companies in the U.S.
Researching EPAM's pricing structure for U.S.-based companies proved to be a meticulous task, given the lack of detailed information on their official website. After reaching out to one of their representatives for clarification, the process hit a roadblock, requiring the initial signing of a non-disclosure agreement before revealing the exact budget for hiring 1 full-stack and 1 QA Engineer proficient in JavaScript.
Unfortunately, the answers lacked the necessary transparency. Estimates were provided that indicated a price range of $12,000 to $14,000 per developer. In particular, when asked about the budget, the response indicated values far beyond our financial constraints.
While EPAM does not publicly disclose its pricing details, companies seeking a clearer breakdown may find greater visibility in models like Teilur Talent’s, where costs and developer compensation are shared upfront. This approach aims to give clients a more predictable understanding of how their budget is allocated.
- QA Senior: $3.125 - $5.625/Month
- Full Stack Developer: $5.625 - $7.750/Month
Further research led us to sites like Clutch, where hourly charges varied from $150 to $199 and project costs ranged from $10.000 to $49.000. Despite this, the available reviews have not provided conclusive evidence or suggested values.
How We Evaluated EPAM’s Pricing
Given that EPAM does not publicly disclose detailed pricing information, our evaluation relied on three sources:
- Direct outreach to EPAM, which required signing an NDA before obtaining specific budget details.
- Third-party platforms such as Clutch and Trustpilot, where clients reported hourly rates, project budgets, and general impressions of transparency.
- Market benchmarks in LATAM, used to contextualize the cost estimates provided to us and assess whether the ranges align with typical compensation for similar roles.
This methodology allows us to present a grounded, realistic view of EPAM’s pricing—even when official data is limited.
Trustpilot, however, provided a diverse array of testimonials about the experience of working with EPAM. One review in particular, caught our attention, highlighting concerns regarding a perceived lack of transparency from the company's leadership.
Our thoughts on the pricing structure of EPAM
From our experience analyzing compensation structures across LATAM, when a client invests $12,000 or more per developer each month, it is reasonable to expect that a meaningful portion should reach the professional performing the work. Transparent rate models make this distribution easier to understand, helping companies make informed financial decisions.
