Pricing FAQ

Common Pricing Questions

Are there any hidden fees or platform markups?

No. The hourly rate or monthly retainer you agree on is the full cost. There are no platform fees, no bidding wars, and no hidden charges. Tools and pass-through expenses are approved in writing first.

Why is your pricing 60% lower than US agencies?

Our talent works from India, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Dubai, UAE, where salaries are well below US levels. We pay our freelancers fair local rates well above market and pass the savings to you, without sacrificing quality.

Is there a minimum contract length?

Part-time retainers have a 3-month minimum and full-time engagements a 6-month minimum, so the freelancer can build context and deliver real results. Hourly engagements have no minimum commitment.

Can I switch between hourly, part-time, and full-time?

Yes. Many clients start with hourly, move to part-time once they see the value, and scale to full-time as their SEO and marketing needs grow. We make the transition seamless.

How do you handle currencies and international payments?

We invoice in USD by default, with GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD, and SGD available on request. Pay by bank transfer, credit card, or Wise. We handle freelancer payouts and FX conversion at fair market rates.

What if the freelancer is not the right fit?

We offer a no-questions-asked replacement during the first 30 days. We will source new candidates and onboard a replacement at no extra cost. Beyond that, our 96% client retention rate speaks for itself.
