We Do AI Agents vs Freelancers
A freelancer builds it and moves on. A managed agent keeps working, and we keep it running.
| Factor | Freelancers | We Do AI Agents |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | Varies | 5 business days |
| After handoff | You maintain it | We maintain it |
| Accountability | Per project | For life |
| Consistency | Depends on the hire | Same team throughout |
| Cost model | Hourly / per project | Flat monthly |
| Support | Ends at delivery | Ongoing |
THE HONEST TAKE
A freelancer can be great for a one-off. For something you depend on daily, a managed agent means someone is accountable long after launch.

What teams say
★★★★★
“We priced a new hire against an agent. The agent cost about a third of the salary, works nights and weekends, and was live the same week. It wasn't a hard decision.”
★★★★★
“We started with one ready-made agent for a few hundred a month. Once it proved itself, we had a custom one built. No big bet up front, and both pay for themselves several times over.”
★★★★★
“The proposal was one page with a fixed price, and the invoice matched it. In 20 years of buying software I can count on one hand the vendors who've done that.”
