Frequently Asked Questions
Why not just hire a developer on Upwork?
You can, but you'll spend significant time finding, vetting, and managing them. Quality varies, there's no guarantee of results, and hourly billing often exceeds estimates. An agency offers fixed pricing and accountability.
Is Upwork cheaper than an agency?
Not always. Good freelancers charge $50-150/hour. A 200-hour MVP build costs $10,000-30,000. Our fixed price of $2,997 includes everything with a revenue guarantee.
