Agency or Freelancer? How do you decide?

When it comes to entrusting someone with your website project, how do you decide whether to go with a freelancer or an agency? Both have their merits and pitfalls so you just have to weight them out and make a decision that is best for your company. 

Freelancer- 

• Usually less expensive 
• No overhead 
• Hard to schedule meetings or phonecalls since they usually have a full-time job
• Projects can take longer since they have limited time they can work on it
• People are usually generalists
• More flexible

Agency- 

• More expensive 
• Higher overhead
• Open during business hours so it's easier to schedule meetings 
• Employees tend to specialize
• Projects are quicker since that is their job
• More procedures and bureaucracy
