Pros

  • Lowest hourly rate on paper

  • Good for simple, well-defined tasks

Cons

  • Large timezone gaps – slower delivery
  • Higher risk of misunderstandings and rework
  • Hidden costs (coordination, quality)
  • Harder GDPR and security oversight

Best for Routine tasks with low complexity and clear specs – rarely for strategic projects.

For most Norwegian SMBs, nearshoring offers the best balance of price, quality and delivery speed – up to EUR 45 per hour, overlapping work hours and Norwegian project management. Inshoring fits when local presence is critical; offshoring may suit simple, well-defined tasks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are the calculator prices binding?

No. The figures are indicative based on typical projects in the Norwegian market. We always provide a concrete, tailored quote once we understand your needs, integrations and timeline.

What does web development cost in Norway?

A simple company website typically costs EUR 3,500–7,000. A more advanced CMS solution often lands at EUR 7,000–14,000. Custom web apps usually start around EUR 13,000. Use the calculator for a tighter range.

What is the difference between inshoring, nearshoring and offshoring?

Inshoring means a Norwegian team with the highest cost and control. Nearshoring is near Europe with 30–45% lower cost and overlapping work hours – this is Nettkonsult's primary model. Offshoring is remote delivery with the lowest hourly rate but higher risk of delays and hidden costs.

Why do you recommend nearshoring?

Nearshoring offers the best balance of price, quality and delivery speed for most Norwegian SMBs. You get Norwegian project management and QA while costs are significantly lower than pure inshoring.

What does an extended development team cost?

A team of 1–3 developers typically costs EUR 7,000–16,000 per month via nearshoring, depending on seniority and duration. The calculator lets you adjust months and experience level.

Can I combine multiple services in one estimate?
