Retainer services vs staff augmentation

If you choose our retainer services for your coding needs, you pay Lucky Media a set fee each month and we make sure your projects are always moving forward. It doesn’t matter if one of our coders is sick or on vacation – we’ll always have a replacement ready, so your app development doesn’t skip a beat.

In contrast, if you go the staff augmentation route, you might bring in a few developers to join your team temporarily. You’re in charge of overseeing their work, tracking the time they spend, and handling any absences. If they take a day off or fall ill, you’ll need to coordinate to cover their responsibilities or adjust deadlines accordingly.
