What are the alternatives to hiring a full-time Shopify developer?
Storebolt is ongoing Shopify development on a monthly subscription. You file a card, we ship it, and the work stays in your store. One flat price from $1,990/mo, with no scoping calls and no per-project quotes. The usual alternatives each carry a tax: freelancers mean procurement and scoping every time, curated marketplaces price per engagement with no continuity, agency retainers add an account manager and turnaround that drags, and a full-time hire costs $80k+ for ~10–20 hours of work a month.
- Freelancers
- Procurement every time, scoping every time, quality you can't predict twice in a row.
- Storebolt: One subscription, one queue, continuity across every card.
- Marketplaces
- Per-engagement pricing, no continuity, context rebuilt from zero on every task.
- Storebolt: Flat monthly price, with your store and its context already loaded.
- Agency retainers
- $5–8k a month, an account manager between you and the work, and turnaround that drags.
- Storebolt: From $1,990/mo, no account manager, you file straight into the queue.
- A full-time hire
- $80k+ and a six-month search for ~10–20 hours of work a month.
