Nearshore software development inCosta Rica
Costa Rica sits an hour behind United States Central Time and never changes its clocks, which gives it one of the steadiest working-day overlaps in the region — the same every month of the year.
Its English sits mid-table on EF’s index and its broadband behind the regional leaders. No provider here has been measured yet.
The shared working day
Costa Rica and a buyer in New York
Computed over a 9-to-6 working day at both ends, against United States Eastern Time. The two halves of the year are shown separately because the difference is real: the United States observes daylight saving and most of the region no longer does.

How this page is built
Named sources
Every figure carries the source it was read from and the date it was read. Nothing is estimated.
Published methodology
The scale, the gates and the thresholds are generated by the scoring engine itself, so what you read is what ran.
Declared gaps
What we have not measured says so. It is never rendered as a zero or filled with a guess.
No paid placement
No provider can buy a listing, a position or a reconsideration. There is no advertising on this site.
