Should I hire offshore developers for MLM software?

Yes, with caveats. Many real MLM agencies are based in India, Eastern Europe, or LatAm. The cost differential is real (40 to 60% lower than NA or EU rates). The risk is communication overhead plus timezone burden. Mitigate with a strong written scope brief, weekly synchronous demos, and a named senior architect rather than just a sales contact. The offshore engagements that go badly almost always trace back to vague scopes plus async-only communication; the ones that go well have founders who invested in the scope brief and the weekly cadence.
