Agency quality.Without the agency.

We bring together the best designers, developers, marketers, videographers, AI engineers and creators around. You hire the skill — not the structure around it.

Build a team →What does it cost?

The model

Agency quality, without the weight of its structure.

An agency delivers quality because it has good people. But what you're invoiced for isn't only the good people — it's the office, the account manager, the approval layers, the sales structure and the margin.

Scallent cuts the structure, not the judgement. We are the intermediary — what we take off the bill is the cost of running an agency. We select, vet and stay close, and you talk directly to whoever does the work.

  • No mandatory retainer
  • €500 minimum deposit
  • Direct contact with the talent
  • Protected payment
  • Guaranteed replacement

€784 a day. €15,680 over a working month (20 days) — without swapping anyone for someone worse.

Scallent is not cheaper. It charges for fewer things, because it runs lean.

People who choose Scallent do not do it for the price. They do it for top-tier quality, in a curated, agile model without the complications.

The roster

Six areas. One standard.

They join by invitation and reviewed portfolio. If they wouldn't make one of our agency short-lists, they don't get in here.
