When you hire a vibe coder from Devvela, you get a senior engineer backed by AI coding agents. Not a junior dev copying from ChatGPT. Here is what is included:
| Freelancer | Traditional Agency | Devvela | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Slow. One person, no AI tools. | Medium. Large teams, lots of coordination. | Fast. Senior engineer + AI agents. |
| Quality | Hit or miss. No code review process. | Good. But you pay for overhead. | High. Senior-level architecture and review. |
| Communication | Direct but unreliable. Ghosting is common. | Account managers. Layers between you and the builder. | Direct access to your engineer. Weekly demos. |
Freelancers can work. We have nothing against them. But there are real tradeoffs to understand.
Without AI tools, a freelancer takes 3-5x longer to build the same thing. A project that takes us 3 weeks might take a freelancer 3 months. When you factor in the total hours, the difference in value becomes clear.
There is also no architecture oversight. A freelancer builds what you describe. If you describe the wrong thing, or miss an edge case, nobody catches it until production. We have senior engineers who think about architecture, security, and scale from day one.
No QA process either. Most freelancers ship code and move on. We test every feature, write automated tests for critical paths, and do a security review before launch.
If budget is the main constraint and timeline is flexible, a freelancer can be the right call. But if you need something built fast and built right, that is what we do.
Within one week of signing. We keep our team lean so we can start quickly. If we are at capacity, we will tell you upfront and give you an honest timeline.
Pay only for completed milestones. No lock-in contracts. If things are not working after the first milestone, you walk away with the code we built. No hard feelings.
No. We handle everything technical. You focus on your product vision. You tell us what the software should do. We figure out how to build it.
