An in-house team makes sense at a certain scale. Here's what that trade-off actually looks like before you get there.
| Runmatics | In-House Team | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first output | Days to weeks | Months (hiring + onboarding) |
| Monthly cost | Scoped to work needed | Multiple full-time salaries + overhead |
| Skill coverage | Web, automation, marketing, SEO — all covered | Limited to who you hired |
| Flexibility to scale up/down | Adjust scope month to month | Hiring/layoffs are slow and costly |
| Long-term institutional ownership | External partner | Full-time, embedded in the business |
Once you have consistent, large enough volume of work to fully occupy a full-time hire in each discipline, in-house can make sense. Most businesses reach that scale later than they think — until then, a coordinated external team gets the same output without the fixed overhead.
