Head-to-head
Hayaiti vs. BairesDev
BairesDev runs one of the largest Latin American engineering benches and is built for multi-quarter staff augmentation at enterprise scale. They're excellent when you need to spin up a 10-engineer pod with US-timezone overlap and full procurement governance — and the wrong shape of vendor when you need one bounded deliverable shipped this month.
Quick verdict
If you're choosing between us and BairesDev…
Pick Hayaiti if
You know what you need (landing page, MVP, internal tool, audit), you want to see numbers before you talk to anyone, and you want it shipped in days not quarters.
Pick BairesDev if
You're an enterprise running a multi-quarter modernization or parallel multi-product build that genuinely needs 10+ engineers, with the budget, procurement appetite, and in-house program management to drive a staff-aug pod.

What BairesDev does well
- Scales from 5 to 500 engineers on a single program
- LATAM timezone gives near-realtime overlap with US business hours
- Mature enterprise procurement: MSAs, SOC 2 reporting, SOWs, account managers
- 24/7 follow-the-sun coverage achievable with multi-pod staffing
- Deep enterprise process and SDLC discipline
- Stack and skill breadth across thousands of engineers (legacy + modern)
Where BairesDev struggles
- Not productized — every engagement is bespoke and quoted by team composition
- Lengthy sales cycle: discovery, proposal, MSA, pod assembly typically takes 4–8 weeks
- Project minimums are effectively $50K+ (a small pod for one quarter)
- Slower decision-making — pod changes route through account management, not the engineers doing the work
- Less individual senior accountability — quality varies by pod and engineer assignment
- Day-to-day project management of the pod still falls on you

Our take
When Hayaiti is the better choice
You know what you need (landing page, MVP, internal tool, audit), you want to see numbers before you talk to anyone, and you want it shipped in days not quarters.
You're also not paying for slack. Every SKU is fixed price, fixed timeline, source code in your repo from day one. If we miss the deadline, we refund 25% — that risk lives with us, not you.

Worked example
If you needed a brand-led marketing site
Through BairesDev: you'd start with a discovery call, receive a custom proposal in 1–3 weeks, then sign a 6-figure SOW. Output is brand-grade. Time-to-first-deliverable is measured in months, not weeks.
Through Hayaiti: you'd pick the matching SKU on our pricing page, see the price and timeline before any call, pay 50% to start, and have working code in your repo on day one. We refund 25% if we miss the published deadline.
Both approaches work. Pick based on which trade-offs match how you want to operate.
