Compare the options

Each option compared on the same criteria: cost, time to start, whether you can start with one person, language, and who you sign with.

Option	How you pay	Time to start	One person	Language	Who you sign with
Employ someone	Monthly payroll. Through a recruiter, a fee of around 30% of annual pay	3–6 months	Yes	Mostly Japanese	You employ them
Use a staffing agency	The agency rate, by the hour, including its margin	Weeks	Yes	Mostly Japanese	The agency
Offshore development	A contract with the development firm, per team	1–2 months	Usually a team	Through a go-between	The firm
Overseas talent networks	The rate plus the network's margin	Days or more	Yes	English	Depends on the network
This marketplace (Final Check)	No fee for the client (workers pay a tiered fee). Small requests from ¥100,000–400,000 a month. Free to sign up, list and get quotes. No placement fee	Two or three people who fit, within a few days	Yes (one person, from one month)	Japanese and English, with automatic translation in messages	The worker, directly. We are not a party; we hold the payment and release it after completion is confirmed

When this marketplace is not the right fit

On-site work is not possible
English-only teams will be faster elsewhere

The yardstick

Only publicly stated terms are compared. This is not a ranking of any company. Costs and times are typical patterns, not any one company's prices.
