The core difference
In project outsourcing, the vendor owns delivery. In staff augmentation, you own delivery — the vendor provides the engineers.
Control
Staff augmentation gives you full control and visibility. Outsourcing trades control for delivery accountability.
When to pick which
Pick staff augmentation when you have strong in-house product and engineering leadership. Pick outsourcing when you need a turnkey delivery against a clear specification.
