Pricing Models Differ
The same project can be priced in different ways. Understanding the options helps you compare quotes and choose a model that suits your risk and budget.
The Main Models
Each approach shifts risk differently. We discuss them openly in our project proposals.
- Fixed fee — a set price for a clearly defined scope
- Day rate — pay for time used, suited to evolving work
- Capped time and materials — time-based with a ceiling
- Retainer — regular support for an agreed monthly amount
- Phased pricing — price each stage as it is agreed

Match the Model to the Clarity
Clear scope suits a fixed fee. Uncertain or exploratory work suits time-based pricing, or a short discovery phase first.
Understand Changes
Ask how changes are priced and approved. Agencies preparing proposals can discuss structures with us through our partnership programme.
