What affects the price

Real experience in the field

A 15-year-old SaaS, B2B, Automotive and Enterprise consultant brings with him validated solution patterns. The diagnosis time is 3-4 times shorter than a junior profile - and the priorities he identifies are those that actually shift business metrics.

Freelance vs agency

A senior freelance consultant costs between €80 and €180 an hour. The same person in a design agency is billed at €200-400/hour, with overhead, account manager and agency margin included. The quality of work is the same: change who pays the difference.

Type of deliverable

An audit with written reports has a fixed price because the process is defined. A design system has a wide range because it depends on the number of components, platforms and level of documentation. Always ask what is included in the deliverable before comparing prices.
