If you are buying from Argentina
Plan around the range
Half of priced posts from Argentina fall between $800 and $9,060. The median is a starting point, and scope decides where you land.
Treat rate as a weak signal
Posted rates here centre on $27.50 an hour and rates vary little between countries, because talent is global. Compare scope and evidence of similar work instead.
Expect a smaller field
A median of 9 applicants means each post reaches fewer people than the market's 12. Invite candidates directly instead of waiting for applicants.

How to read this
Country is the buyer's stated location, not where the work is done. Figures come from public job posts from December 2025 to November 2026 and show what posts offered, not what was paid. Hourly posts are estimated from rate, length and workload. Countries need 30 priced posts to be ranked, and are left out of rankings when one account makes up over a quarter of posts. Counts under 5 are hidden. Population and GDP per person are the latest World Bank figures. Read the method
