The choice between an agency and a consultant is essentially about how you want to distribute responsibility and capacity. A consultant gives you one specialist's time, while an agency gives access to a team with multiple skills who can cover for one another. Consultants often suit well-defined projects with a clear specialty, while agencies and subscription models fit better when needs span several disciplines at once.

## Should you choose an agency or a consultant?
A consultant is the right choice for a well-defined project with a clear specialty, while an agency or a creative subscription fits better when needs span several disciplines like design, web and content at once. With a consultant, you carry the vulnerability if the person falls ill or leaves, while a team provides continuity even when individuals are away.

## How to Choose Between Agency and Consultant
- Breadth of need: one discipline or several at once
- Vulnerability from illness, vacation or resignation
- Need for project management and coordination
- How fast the engagement needs to start and end
- Long-term relationship versus a single engagement

## How Hasty Works as an Alternative to Both Agency and Consultant
Hasty works as a creative subscription where you get a full team — strategist, designer, copywriter, developer — instead of a single consultant's time or a traditional agency's project structure. That means you don't have to choose between breadth and continuity, and can scale need up or down month by month.

## FAQ

**Is a consultant cheaper than an agency?**

It depends on the engagement, but a consultant can become more expensive per hour for narrow specialties while an agency often gives better overall economics for broader needs.

**What happens if our consultant falls ill?**

With a single consultant there is no built-in backup, while a team at an agency can cover for one another.

**Is a consultant right for short projects?**

Yes, consultants often suit well-defined projects with a clear start and end and a specific specialty.

**Can you combine agency and consultant?**

Yes, many companies use an agency or subscription for ongoing needs and bring in individual consultants for very specific projects.
