In-house hire vs. freelancer vs. agency for Meta ads. The real cost comparison nobody breaks down honestly.
In-house: ₹40-80k/month salary. You are betting your growth on one person's skill ceiling and hoping they don't leave mid-scale.
Freelancer: cheaper upfront. But your account goes untouched during their busy week, and there is no backup strategist if they disappear.
Agency: higher monthly cost. You get a tested process, a team instead of one point of failure, and creative production most solo hires can't match alone.
Arlox.io sees brands try all three, usually in that order, before landing on the one that holds up past month three.
The cheapest option on paper is rarely the cheapest option by month six.
