Design studio or freelancer?
A freelancer is cheaper and great for one clear deliverable. A studio costs more but covers brand, product, web and build together, keeps going if one person is out, and is faster when everything has to launch on one date.
Schedule CallChoose a freelancer when
- You need one deliverable, like a logo or a single landing page
- Budget is the main constraint
- You can manage the work and fill gaps yourself
Choose a studio when
- Brand, product and site need to launch together
- You need design and development from one team
- A launch, raise or demo date can't move
Cost
Freelancers commonly charge per project or hour. Velora's Design Partner plan is €5,900 a month for unlimited requests, which is usually less than a senior in-house designer and covers development too.

Questions
- Is a studio worth it for an early startup?
- When several things need to ship together, yes. For a single logo or page, a good freelancer is often enough.
