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

Cheap is not good. Any app with payment gateways will run upwards of 10k USD even when outsourcing. Anyone promising to do it for cheap doesn’t know what they are talking about. I have a software firm in India and believe me, designing and developing commercial grade apps are not going to come cheap. Especially when subject matter expertise is involved. From my experience, developing an MVP runs anywhere around 5K USD and a full fledged software of medium complexity or SaaS usually hovers around 10k to 30k USD. You can get good flutter or iOS devs for 30 to 40 USD an hour in my city.
