EEv3 vs In-House Teams

Five engineers cost $750k/year. EEv3 Business costs $30k.

Building in-house is expensive, slow, and ties your best engineers to commodity infrastructure. Let EEv3 handle the undifferentiated work.

Side by side.

The cost comparison.

A 5-person engineering team vs EEv3 platform access.

5-Person Team

$750k+

per year, fully loaded

Salaries, benefits, equipment, office space, recruiting fees, management overhead, and tooling licenses. Plus 6+ months before they're fully productive.

EEv3 Business

$30k

per year

Full platform access, all 276 capabilities, dedicated infrastructure, priority support, and up to 10 entities. Start shipping on day one.

When in-house makes sense.

  • Core IP and proprietary algorithms
  • Unique competitive moats that define your business
  • Deep domain expertise that requires institutional context
  • Regulatory environments requiring full codebase control

When EEv3 wins.

Commodity capabilities — don't rebuild what already exists.

  • Infrastructure — servers, CDN, auto-scaling, monitoring
  • Auth — SSO, MFA, RBAC, token management
  • Billing — Stripe, invoicing, subscriptions, usage metering
  • Storage — object store, databases, vector search, caching
  • Search — full-text, semantic, geo, faceted indexing
  • AI — inference, embeddings, RAG, agents, vision

Replace headcount with platform

Let your engineers focus on what makes you unique. Let EEv3 handle the rest.
