Why teams switch

Why companies choose Luby over Encora

The pitch team is senior; the delivery team quietly isn’t. Quality drifts down while the rate card stays the same.

Premium rates, but the premium attention goes to the biggest logos. As a boutique, every client gets senior standards at competitive rates.

Honest take

When Encora is the right fit (honestly)

If you specifically need a Mexico hub or already run an EDC there, Encora fits. For Brazil nearshore with deeper AI bench and ISO 27701, Luby wins.
