Should I outsource development? (alien.top)

Hello,

I want to publish an app (it is a rather simple one), but dont have any experience in software development. Is it wiser to learn it on my own to have full control over the app or should I outsource it? I saw many developer on fiver that are offering Development for 500-2000$. Are they worth it? And if I do it on my own, should I do Swift or Flutter development?

Thanks in advance

My 2 cents about outsourcing: Either go low- or no-code and build it yourself or hire someone decent. Fiver, upwork, etc. are full of talented and respectable freelancers – but you will need time and money to find them in a haystack full of "experts". As someone with a lot of experience in managing people and projects, I tell you this is not an easy task. No less, if we're talking about your own money.

My advice is to go low- or no-code, keep the expenses low and release a MVP. Then go from there. If you app monetizes, invest the money in a more polished code base, etc. You get the point.

Good luck, go out there and rock!
