Android vs Full-Stack: which pays more?
The median for Android is $180,500 per year (typically $142,450–$217,625), versus $160,950 for Full-Stack ($127,025–$200,000). That puts Android about 12% 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.
