Why Luby
Where Luby differs from Globant
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.
Pay for delivery, not billable strategy hours
Your budget goes to engineers shipping code instead of decks and workshops. Architecture decisions happen inside delivery, made by the senior engineers who build the system.
Nearshore rates, published up front
Luby publishes indicative rate ranges by role, so finance can model the cost of senior capacity before the first call.
Engineers in your codebase in as little as 7 days
When the scope is already clear, pre-vetted senior engineers start on the code and shape the architecture as they deliver. When it isn't, a focused discovery comes first.

Why teams switch
Why teams move from Globant to Luby
The roadmap needs execution, not more strategy
Teams that already know what to build don't need a consulting layer on top of delivery. They move to Luby for senior engineers who make architecture decisions inside the work.
The people you evaluate are the people who build
Buyers want the seniority they saw during the sale on the project itself. At Luby, the engineers you evaluate are the engineers who join your team.
A budget that buys engineering
When most of the work is code, the budget should map to engineers. With Luby, finance sees what senior capacity costs before anything is signed.
Honest take
When Globant is the right fit
If you need strategic consulting bundled with execution at global scale, across many markets, Globant's breadth may fit better. For senior delivery without the consulting layer, Luby is the better fit.
