FAQs

You should hire a dedicated team, as they are best suited for long-term, complex projects where quality, support, and teamwork are essential. If you’re building a SaaS product or planning to scale, a team is the better choice.
Hire freelancers for small, one-off jobs, bug fixes, or when you need a specialist for a short task. They’re great when you have a tight budget and clearly defined requirements.
Well, yes! Freelancers usually work with multiple clients at once. That’s why they may not always be available immediately or give full attention to your project.
A dedicated team provides easy management because it often includes a project manager. With freelancers, you must manage everything yourself, including communication, deadlines, and quality checks.
It’s hard to scale with freelancers. Hiring multiple freelancers can lead to communication problems. A dedicated team can scale smoothly by adding more members as needed under one unified system.
