Hire Laravel Developers

Ailoitte Laravel developers start at $23 an hour, or $2,820 a month for a full-time developer working about 160 hours. Both rates are for engineers with 3+ years of commercial Laravel experience. Senior and lead engineers cost more, and we share their range on a short call. For comparison, ZipRecruiter puts the average US pay for a Laravel developer at about $59 an hour, before benefits and hiring costs.

You get matched profiles within 48 hours, interviews within 1 to 2 days, and your developer starts in 2 to 5 days. We reply to every request within 12 hours.

Not for long. Laravel 10 stopped getting security fixes in February 2025, and Laravel 11 in March 2026. New vulnerabilities in those versions stay open. Laravel 13, released in March 2026, is the only version still getting bug fixes, and Laravel 12 gets security fixes only until February 24, 2027. A dedicated developer starts with an audit of your packages and tests, then gives you a dated upgrade plan in the first week.

We move one major version at a time, but quickly. Laravel Shift and Rector handle most of the mechanical changes, Pest tests go around the risky parts first, and each step ships on its own so problems are easy to trace. Laravel 13 needs PHP 8.3 or later, so the PHP upgrade is planned into the same work.

PHP 8.4 or 8.5 for anything you plan to keep. PHP 8.1 reached end of life on December 31, 2025, and PHP 8.2 loses security support on December 31, 2026. PHP 8.4 gets security fixes until the end of 2028 and PHP 8.5 until the end of 2029.

Livewire suits admin-heavy apps and teams that want to stay in PHP. Inertia with React or Vue suits products with rich screens that still want one Laravel codebase. A separate front end over an API suits mobile apps and public APIs that several clients share. Your developer recommends one in the first week, based on your team and roadmap.

Yes, in stages rather than as a rewrite. New features are built in Laravel beside the old app, and routes move over one at a time, so users never see a cut-over weekend.

Yes. Every developer is AI-native and works with GitHub Copilot, Cursor or Claude Code every day. For Laravel work they also use Laravel Boost, which gives AI tools your app’s versions and docs, and Laravel Shift for upgrades. AI does the routine work, and a human reviews, tests and owns every line. Developers only use tools your policy allows.

Yes, inside your existing Laravel app. They use the Laravel AI SDK, which reached version 1.0 in September 2026, and vector search on PostgreSQL with pgvector to add agents, document search and chat, with the same tests, logging and security as the rest of your code.

No. Every developer is a full-time Ailoitte employee. We handle payroll, equipment, security training and backup cover, and you keep the same engineer for as long as you need them.

No. There is no minimum duration, and you can stop or scale down with one month’s notice. Hire dedicated Laravel developers for a single upgrade or for years.

We replace them free of charge. Tell us what is not working and we will share new profiles, handle the handover and keep your project moving.

Yes. Our engineers work set shifts: 11:00 to 20:00 IST for UK and European clients, and 15:30 to 00:30 IST for US clients. That gives US East Coast teams about 5 to 6 hours of shared working time every day, and UK teams about the same.

You own all of it. We sign an NDA before the first call and assign full intellectual property to you in the contract. See our IP protection approach.

Yes. Ailoitte is also a Laravel development company that offers Laravel development services as fixed-price projects. If you would rather hand over the whole build, see our web application development service.
