Fetchly vs In-House Teams

Hiring a single senior engineer takes 3-6 months and costs $20,000+ in recruiting fees alone. Now multiply that by every role you need — frontend, backend, mobile, QA, design, DevOps, and project management. With Fetchly, your entire cross-functional team is ready to start building within weeks, not quarters. No job postings, no interviews, no offer negotiations.

An in-house engineering team means salaries, health insurance, 401(k) matching, equipment, office space, and management overhead. For a mid-sized team, that can easily exceed $1M+ annually. Fetchly delivers the same caliber of talent — senior engineers with experience across 103+ platforms — for up to 50% less, with everything bundled into one predictable monthly plan.

Market shift? Pivot? Seasonal demand? Scaling an in-house team means painful layoffs or expensive bench time. With Fetchly's month-to-month model, you adjust your team size as your needs change. Add a mobile developer for a launch sprint, scale down after delivery — without severance packages, legal reviews, or morale hits to your existing team.

Building a complete in-house team takes time. You hire a developer, then realize you need a PM, then a QA engineer, then a designer. Each hire is another 3-6 month cycle. Fetchly gives you the whole team from the start — development, project management, quality assurance, design, and DevOps — all coordinated and collaborating from day one.

Unlike some outsourcing models, Fetchly's Dev Team as a Service means you retain 100% ownership of all code, intellectual property, and product assets. Our team works embedded in your tools, your repos, and your processes. When you look at the commit history, you'll see your dedicated Fetchly engineers — building your product as if it were their own.
