Full-Stack vs iOS: which pays more?
The median for Full-Stack is $175,000 per year (typically $140,000–$210,000), versus $161,075 for iOS ($125,231–$205,913). That puts Full-Stack about 9% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Full-Stack and iOS 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.
