How AgencyRelay prices work

Three pricing principles, applied to every engagement

Public starting prices, weekly or per-engagement billing, no long-term lock-in. Same rules whether you're booking a single proposal cycle or a multi-quarter pod.

  1. Principle 0101 / 03

    Starting prices, scoped per engagement

    Every number on this page is a starting point. Final SOWs are scoped against your actual brief — never higher than promised, never lower without telling you why.

  2. Principle 0202 / 03

    Weekly or per-engagement, never hourly

    We don't publish hourly rates because hourly billing rewards slow work. We bill in weekly pods, monthly retainers, or fixed per-cycle engagements — so the incentive is throughput, not timesheets.

  3. Principle 0303 / 03

    No long-term lock-in

    The shortest engagement is one week. Longer commitments unlock lower effective rates (see the discount table) — but nothing on this page requires a year-long contract to start.

Capability reference rates

Prefer to think in capability rates rather than pod tiers?

Weekly equivalents for single-capability engagements. Pods that mix capabilities are quoted at the highest applicable rate.

Reference tableDraft pricing
CapabilityWeekly starting
UI/UX Design$2,200
Frontend Development$2,400
Backend Development$2,600
App Development (iOS / Android / RN)$2,800
AI Implementation (agents / RAG / automation)$3,200
QA & Testing$1,800
Support & Maintenance$1,500

Capability rates are a planning aid, not a quote. Final pod composition is shaped to the brief.

What stays consistent

The same operating defaults sit underneath every quote

No matter which solution you pick, these are non-negotiables — and they don't get itemised on the invoice.

What's always included

Operating defaults on every engagement

  • Mutual NDA before any project information is shared
  • MSA + no-poach / non-solicitation clause
  • White-label communication boundaries by default
  • US-aligned working hours on every active engagement
  • Delivery lead on every pod
  • Weekly written delivery reports
  • Slack, Notion, Jira, or Linear — your tools, not ours
What's not includedOut of scope

Out of scope by default

  • Direct-to-client communication unless explicitly white-listed in the SOW
  • Travel and on-site presence
  • Third-party software licenses (your accounts, your billing)
  • Out-of-scope work without a written change request

Pricing FAQ

The questions agency owners ask before the call

Direct answers to what usually comes up between seeing the prices and booking the first session.

See full FAQ
  • Q.01

    Why don't you publish hourly rates?

    Hourly billing rewards slow work and creates friction over every micro-decision — was that a 15-minute task or a 22-minute task? Weekly pods align our incentive with throughput. You know what you're paying. We know what we're shipping.

  • Q.02

    Can we start with one week?

    Yes — the 1-Week Burst inside Overflow Pods exists for that. Most agencies use it as a low-risk first engagement. If the work continues, the pod converts into Invisible Delivery Team rates with no second sales cycle.

  • Q.03

    What happens if a pod finishes the work early?

    Unused days roll into the next week, or we re-scope and reduce the next invoice. We do not invoice for unused capacity. The weekly rate buys throughput, not timesheets.

  • Q.04

    Are these prices final?

    These are starting prices. Final SOWs are scoped against your brief, and we send a fixed weekly or per-engagement quote before kickoff — no surprise invoices, no scope-creep billing without a written change request.

  • Q.05

    Do you offer fixed-bid project pricing?

    For Proposal Rescue Desk engagements, yes — the cycle itself is fixed-bid. For delivery, we strongly prefer pods because they handle changing scope better than fixed-bid contracts. We will quote fixed-bid for narrowly defined projects on request.

  • Q.06

    Where is the delivery team based?

    AgencyRelay delivers from India through Salt Technologies, Inc. — a US-incorporated parent with a 13+ year delivery operation. Pods overlap US business hours every working day, and every MSA / NDA / SOW is issued by Salt as the legal counterparty.

  • Q.07

    What's the difference between an Overflow Pod and a Dedicated Partner Pod?

    Overflow Pods are short-term burst capacity, billed weekly with 1-week minimums. Dedicated Partner Pods are reserved capacity for ongoing, recurring delivery — billed monthly, with custom rates. The structure is explained inside Partner Models.

  • Q.08

    Do you require an annual commitment?

    No. Our shortest engagement is one week. Multi-week pre-paid pods unlock the discounts above, and Dedicated Partner Pods are a 3+ month arrangement — but nothing on this page requires a year-long contract to start.
