Why Switch from Toptal?
Toptal is known for its rigorous screening process and high-quality freelancers, but it comes with high costs, freelancer turnover, and limited project management. Codexty provides dedicated development teams with full project management, quality guarantees, and long-term partnerships. While Toptal charges premium rates for individual contractors, we offer complete solutions that reduce overall project costs and risks.
