How the options compare.
| Freelancer | Oravel | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Day rates or fixed project price; often lower for a single, clear task. | Published prices; fixed quote after the €1,950 Blueprint. |
| Scope | Usually what you specify. | We map the process first and may tell you to automate something else. |
| After launch | Depends on availability; often a new contract. | Run & Care or AI Ops: monitoring, fixes and improvements. |
| Continuity | One person. | Documented builds and an operator; still a small team, which we're open about. |
| Guarantee | Varies. | Live in 30 days or setup fee back (One System and AI Ops builds). |
| Best when | One clear task, a tight budget, and you can maintain it. | Several connected workflows that someone must keep running. |
Choose them if…
A good freelancer with a clear brief can be the most cost-effective option.
Choose us if…
We add the parts around the build that freelancers often don't price in.
Questions worth asking.
Ask any builder: whose accounts will it run in, who owns the code and prompts, how will I know if it breaks, and what does a change cost after launch?
Ask for a running example and a reference you can call. We will show concept demos and our own systems, and say clearly which are client work.
Common questions.
Are your prices higher than a freelancer's?
Sometimes, for a single simple task. The price includes process mapping, guardrails, documentation and the 30-day guarantee.
Can a freelancer extend what you build?
Yes. You own the code and documentation, so anyone competent can work on it.
Do you use freelancers yourselves?
Oravel is led by Elias Bounenni, and the person who designs your system is involved from first call to go-live. If specialists help on a build, you are told, and they work under NDA.
