Honest recommendations for each option
Hire a freelancer when you have a simple, well-defined task, can manage the project yourself, and don't mind the risk of quality/timeline variability.
Hire P0STMAN when you need guaranteed results, proven AI expertise, predictable timelines, or don't want to manage contractors.
What sets P0STMAN apart
Most freelancers are full-stack developers dabbling in AI. We only build AI voice agents - 30+ projects. Experience matters when APIs are changing weekly and best practices are still emerging.
Freelancer ghosting is common. Quality is unpredictable. Timelines slip constantly. We've been in business 2+ years, have repeat clients, and guarantee 6-day delivery. Lower risk.
Freelancers improvise. We have a proven process: discovery, design, build, test, deploy. You get structured communication, clear timelines, and professional deliverables. Not ad-hoc chaos.
From consultation to deployment in 6 days
We learn about your workflow, pain points, and goals. Define exactly what your AI agent needs to do.
We build your custom voice agent, integrate with your existing systems, and configure it for your specific use cases.
Deploy your AI agent to production. We provide training, documentation, and ongoing support as your needs evolve.
Reduction in Admin Time
From Kickoff to Launch
Starting Investment
No - some are excellent. But finding them requires vetting 20+ candidates, checking portfolios, and hoping they're available. We eliminate that search cost and provide known quality from day one.
Big agencies ($50K+ projects) add layers of account managers and overhead. You pay for their process, not just code. We're a small specialized shop - senior developers build your project directly.
We're not a marketplace. We're the developers. When you hire P0STMAN, we build your AI agent ourselves. No middlemen, no junior devs - experienced AI specialists on every project.
