Do you need a Salesforce freelancer or an AWS freelancer?
Short answer
Hire for Salesforce when the org already exists and the job is fields, a flow, a report, or a permission clean-up. Hire for AWS when something you run needs a server, storage, a domain, or a deploy you can roll back. They are separate scopes on one gig. The $150 package is one of them, not both. I configure Salesforce. I do not sell Apex, and I do not claim a certification.
Two jobs that get written as one line
Salesforce is the CRM your team already clicks through: objects, fields, page layouts, flows, assignment, reports. The work is configuration. If the requirement is a custom app, a heavy integration, or code, that is a developer scope I will say no to rather than pretend Flow can absorb it.
AWS is the place a site or a service runs: one service deployed, or hosting, storage, and a domain, with access limited to what that service needs. It is not a Salesforce tidy-up with a cloud logo added.
Which package is which
Basic, $150, in 3–5 working days, is a Salesforce tidy-up or one service deployed to AWS. One report or dashboard, and an access clean-up, sit in that package. You pick one side.
Standard, $300, in 1–2 weeks, is custom objects and flows, or AWS hosting, storage, and domains, plus the permissions that match. Premium, $480, in 2–4 weeks, is the point where they meet: Salesforce connected to your other tools, a deployment pipeline, monitoring, and a data import if you asked for one.
When neither is the first hire
If the pain is an empty form, you need a clearer page, from $180, not a CRM rebuild. If the pain is retyping leads into a CRM you already have, you need a workflow from $120. Salesforce will not create enquiries that are not arriving.
If you do not have a Salesforce org, I will not sell you one as part of a $150 tidy-up. Buying the product is your decision and your licence. The package configures an org you already pay for.
What to ask any freelancer who offers both
Ask which of the two this invoice covers, whose AWS account the server will live in, and who holds the Salesforce admin access when the project ends. Both should be yours. A server in the freelancer’s account is the same rental problem as an agent in their login.
This is what I do: Salesforce & AWS — three packages from $150.
