Service Comparison Analysis
Here's how I compare to your other options agencies, no-code tools, and full-time hires.
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: $3.5K to $6K
Agency: $100K to $250K
DIY: $10K+
Full Time: $150K+
Compare | You (Me) Direct Partnership | Agency Enterprise Approach | DIY/No Code Bubble/Webflow | Full Time Hire Long Term Investment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Cost | $3.5K to $6K Fixed price, transparent | $50K to $150K Plus change requests | $0 to $500/mo Subscription based | $120K+/year Salary plus benefits |
Timeline | 14 to 21 days Based on project scope | 4 to 8 months Multiple sprint cycles | Weeks DIY learning curve | 3 to 6 months After hiring and onboarding |
Scalability | Single-tenant Standard architecture, custom code | Multi-tenant Enterprise grade | Platform dependent Vendor lock in limits | Custom architecture Dedicated resource |
Code Ownership | Yes Complete source code | Yes After final payment | No Locked to platform | Yes Company owned |
Custom Features | Yes Built to specifications | Yes Complex requirements | Limited Template constraints | Yes Ongoing development |
Real Cost | $3.5K to $6K One time + ~$600 hosting | $100K to $250K With scope changes + overruns | $10K+ $500/mo × 12 + time wasted | $150K+ Salary + benefits + recruiter |

Clear Ownership. No Surprises.
Like any professional developer, I build on top of open-source libraries and reusable patterns. Everything custom-built for your product is 100% yours no exceptions.
You own
- ✓Your SaaS product and business logic
- ✓Your branding, domain, and database
- ✓All custom features built specifically for your project
What you get
- ✓Full access to your codebase
- ✓Transfer of project repository upon completion
- ✓Perpetual rights to use and modify your product
This model is standard for modern SaaS development and ensures faster delivery without compromising your ownership.
