Not necessarily — pricing depends on scope. For a very small, single-page job a freelancer can be cheaper. For anything with real design + development + deployment scope, a team removes single-person risk without a large premium.
That risk is exactly what a team-based engagement avoids — with Codaiman, work continues even if one person is on leave, since a team (not one individual) owns the project.
Yes, a written engagement and an NDA can be signed before any detailed discovery conversation.
Yes — engagements are structured so you talk to the people actually doing the work, not only an account manager.
Yes — for a very small, well-defined, single-skill task (a quick landing page tweak, a one-off script), a freelancer can be faster and cheaper. Codaiman is built for projects that need more than one skill set or need to keep moving if someone's unavailable.
