Which one to choose
The right fit for each situation.
When to choose a freelancer
Hire a freelancer if you have a strict one-and-done project with a narrow scope, such as designing a single logo or formatting a single pitch deck. They are highly cost-effective when your design demand is rare, unpredictable and limited to a single discipline.
When to choose Mon Agence Créative
Choose our subscription if your marketing output requires continuous, multi-disciplinary work. If you need a web app interface on Monday, brand identity assets on Wednesday and an AI-assisted visual campaign by Friday, managing three different freelancers becomes a full-time operational bottleneck. We deliver the output of a complete creative team for the price of one junior hire, with turnarounds in 3 to 4 business days, or 48 hours on Elite.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Is a subscription more expensive than a freelancer?
For a single, small task, yes. But if you submit more than a few requests a month across different mediums (web, video, AI imagery), a flat €2,500 per month fee is significantly cheaper than paying multiple specialist day rates.
Do I own the source files?
Yes. Unlike some platform tools, all raw design files and AI generation workflows are delivered and owned by you.
One team. One flat fee.
