Cloudesk vs freelancers vs in-house teams
A full-time developer carries salary, benefits, ramp time, and idle weeks. Freelancers often lack a PM and consistent QC. Cloudesk gives you a subscription seat — Weekly or Monthly. Add 3+ seats for a permanent team discount. Build a team.

Hire specialists for every stage of your product
Dedicated seats with a Project Manager and QC built in — pick the role that fits your sprint.
What working with Cloudesk looks like
Chat-first delivery. Your PM scopes in chat, specialist coder builds on an isolated branch, and interactive staging links are provided before GitHub handover.
Step 1 — Scope
PM checklists your task in chat
You drop a brief. Your Project Manager returns a scope checklist and open questions — before a line of code is written.
Step 2 — Build
Specialist labelled and building
The right specialist is assigned: Frontend, Backend, Full-Stack, Mobile, or QA. You see progress in chat.
Step 3 — Deliver
Baseline QC before every handoff
Every delivery passes Baseline QC — not an add-on, always included. You receive a clean, reviewed output.
How much does a development team cost?
Pricing is fixed per seat package — not hourly surprises. Pick roles and Weekly/Monthly hours on Pricing. Add 3+ seats for team discounts on the total; add seats for team bundle savings.
