The choice between hiring an in-house designer and bringing in an agency is about more than hourly rates. It's about flexibility, breadth of skills, and how evenly your design needs are spread across the year.

## When is in-house better than agency, and vice versa?
An in-house designer works well when the need is constant and narrow, such as ongoing production within one format. An agency fits when you need broader skills: strategy, motion, web, and print in one flow. A subscription gives you that breadth without committing to a full-time salary, with the ability to scale up and down based on workload.

Prisindikation: från 40 credits per månad.

## In-house, traditional agency, or subscription?
In-house gives control but limited breadth. A traditional agency gives breadth but lacks flexibility in pace and price. A design subscription combines the breadth of an agency with the speed and closeness of an in-house resource.

## FAQ

**Is an in-house designer cheaper in the long run?**

It depends on volume. With steady, high volume, in-house can pay off, but most companies have uneven needs where a subscription becomes more cost-effective.

**Can we combine in-house and agency?**

Yes, many of our clients have an in-house resource for daily work and bring us in for campaigns and specialist skills.

**How fast can you get started?**

We can usually start within a few days since we already have team and processes in place.

**Does a subscription work for smaller companies too?**

Yes, that's often where the difference is most noticeable since you get access to broad skills without hiring multiple roles.
