# What it costs

Three ways to pay, chosen by how predictable your workload is. Nothing is annual, nothing auto-renews at a higher rate, and you are never charged a placement fee if you later hire the designer onto your own payroll.

## Where the rate comes from

The hourly figure covers the designer, the tool licences they run, and the art director who reviews before anything reaches you. We do not mark up compute or bill separately for revisions, because charging per revision quietly punishes the iteration that makes the work good.

## When monthly beats hourly

If you are sending work most weeks, hourly billing becomes a tax on asking. The monthly rate removes that friction entirely: unlimited requests handled one at a time, paused whenever your pipeline goes quiet, resumed without renegotiating.

## What is never charged separately

Revisions, tool licences, file exports, rush handling within reason, and the art director's review time. Adding line items for these is how agencies make a quoted number meaningless by the third invoice. If something genuinely falls outside scope we quote it before starting, not afterwards.

## In short

- Hourly from $45, ten-hour minimum
- Dedicated designer $4,200 per month
- Team with art director, quoted per project
- Pause any month, no notice period

## Questions

### Is there a minimum contract length?

No. Hourly blocks have a ten-hour minimum but no time commitment. Monthly engagements are month to month and can be paused or cancelled at the end of any paid month with no notice period.

### What happens if I need more work than my plan covers?

On monthly, you simply queue more requests since there is no cap. On hourly, we top up the block at the same rate. We tell you when moving to monthly would cost you less rather than letting blocks accumulate.
