With the same local talent and salaries as any Dumaguete provider, the difference is what’s included. On Core, you manage directly and pay from around US$3.80/hour all-in. On Signature, everything — salary, workspace, equipment, payroll, HR and compliance — is bundled into one fee at around US$6/hour, with nothing else to buy. Typical office-based providers quote a seat fee on top of salary, then charge separately for equipment and payroll handling, so the real all-in cost often lands higher than it first appears. Against a Western hire at US$1,500–3,000/month for comparable work, you save an estimated 55–75%.
Figures indicative only; actual costs and savings vary by role, salary and hours.
