Outsourcing vs. In-House:
The real cost comparison

In most cases, yes — by a significant margin. A full-time in-house ecommerce manager in the US costs $65,000–$95,000 in salary alone plus 30% in benefits. eData4You dedicated resources start from $1,999/month ($23,988/year) for a full-time equivalent. For partial workloads, hourly rates from $15–$20/hour are available.

Most services are available on a monthly basis with no long-term commitment required. For project-based work, we scope each project individually. We do offer discounts for 6- and 12-month retainers, but these are optional.

Standard onboarding takes 3–5 business days. For urgent requirements, expedited onboarding is available within 24–48 hours. We assign a dedicated resource who learns your account, tools, and processes before going live.

Many clients use eData4You as overflow capacity — handling volume spikes, specialist tasks (like bulk flat-file uploads or A+ Content), or freeing senior in-house staff from repetitive operational work. We integrate into your workflow rather than replacing your team.

No — you retain full control of your marketplace accounts. Our team operates with view-only or limited-scope access as appropriate. All actions are logged and reported weekly. You approve strategy changes; we execute.
