Why Luby
Where Luby differs from Andela
Senior nearshore engineers aligned to U.S. time zones, with AI built into how they deliver, at a company certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701.
Overlap with your working day
Nearshore engineers whose hours overlap the U.S. business day, so decisions happen in standups instead of overnight messages.
Delivery ownership as the default
Andela's default is matching you with talent. Luby's default is owning the squad, the process, QA, and the outcome.
Certified, with AI as standard
Luby holds ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, and AI-augmented delivery is standard on every squad.

Why teams switch
Why teams move from Andela to Luby
Every review shouldn't wait a day
When engineers sit many hours away from your team, each question waits for the next overlap. Teams move to Luby for engineers whose hours overlap the U.S. day and who join your standups.
Someone has to own the outcome
A match fills a seat; it doesn't run the delivery. Teams move to Luby when they want a squad that owns process, QA, and results.
Rates published before the first call
Luby publishes indicative rate ranges by role, so finance can model a managed squad before anything is signed.
Honest take
When Andela is the right fit
If you want the widest global talent pool, or individual hires across many regions, Andela's scale fits. For an owned nearshore team whose hours overlap yours, that's what Luby delivers.
