Best overall — Euro Remote Talent

The short answer

Proxify is a strong choice for embedding a pre-vetted European developer quickly as a flexible contractor, with a free trial and the option to convert later. It bills for the developer's time on an ongoing basis. Euro Remote Talent instead places a permanent European hire for a one-time flat $6,500, covering any role and not just developers, with a 12-month guarantee. If you want a flexible, pay-for-time engineer you can trial, Proxify fits. If you want to own the hire outright with no recurring cost, ERT is the better overall fit.
