Rates set minimum expectations around timelines, costs, and outcomes. All prices in USD.
The rate card provides a minimum expectation for hours, scope, and tip values across different project types. Treat these numbers as a starting point to ensure consistency and fairness, while leaving room for adjustments based on your project's unique needs.
Each item outlines a suggested scope of work (e.g., market research, competitor analysis, or go-to-market planning). These descriptions are meant to help you size your project and align expectations, but the specific details should always come from your listing.
The minimum hours and tip values listed ensure talent has a fair foundation for compensation. While you can increase hours or tips depending on complexity, these baselines keep projects realistic and signal to applicants that the effort will be valued.
The rate card is a guide, not a prescription. When creating a listing, expand on the scope with the exact deliverables, timelines, and outcomes you expect. This ensures applicants know what success looks like and helps you find the best possible match.
