Decision brief
Below one permanent project an in-house developer costs more than the salary suggests, because you also pay for the months with nothing to build. An external team wins while the work comes in bursts. The switch happens once you own software that has to stay running every day.
| What the decision turns on | External team | In-house developer |
|---|---|---|
| True monthly cost | You pay for hours worked | Salary, levies, hardware, and holiday run every month |
| Ramp-up | Days | Three months to hire, then onboarding |
| Breadth of skills | Backend, frontend, design, and security as the work demands | Whatever that one person knows |
| Knowledge of your business | Grows with the project and has to be handed over | Deepest, and it sits in one head |
| Departure risk | The team carries on | The knowledge walks out with them |
External engineering with us is 45 €/h + VAT and you pay only for hours worked.
With a hire, salary is not the number. Add levies, hardware, licences, holiday, and the months when there is nothing to build.
We are a team of people who take a project from start to finish together. We are not a body shop and cannot field ten developers next month.
Yes, and it is the common path. That is why the repository, documentation, and access move to you continuously instead of at the end. Your first hire then joins a working project rather than a blank page.
The code and the access are yours from day one, and we build on technology any ordinary developer in Slovakia already knows. Leaving us does not cost you a rewrite.
