Android vs Full-Stack: which pays more?
The median for Android is $194,550 per year (typically $164,500–$217,750), versus $175,000 for Full-Stack ($140,000–$207,500). That puts Android about 11% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Android and Full-Stack are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in. Only roles that publish a salary range feed the medians; numbers refresh every few hours as new roles post and older ones close, so this comparison reflects the market right now rather than a fixed survey. Use it as a directional benchmark when weighing one path against the other.
