Service Comparison Analysis
Comprehensive comparison of development approaches to help you make informed decisions based on your business requirements.
Hiring a full time developer at $120K annually only makes financial sense if you have 10+ projects per year to keep them consistently busy. For startups building 1 to 2 products, working with an independent developer like me costs 90% less while delivering the same quality and faster turnaround times.
You: $5.1K to $8.1K
Agency: $100K to $250K
DIY: $10K+
Full Time: $150K+
