In-house team vs app development agency
An agency gets you a full senior team immediately with no hiring risk; an in-house team is better once you have ongoing product work to justify permanent headcount. Many teams start with an agency and transition later.
Trade-offs
| Agency | In-house | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to start | Days | Months (hiring) |
| Cost model | Project / retainer | Salaries + overhead |
| Team completeness | Design+eng+PM ready | Build over time |
| Best for | Getting to market fast | Long-term ongoing product |
