What is Astuteo’s typical project budget or engagement cost?
Astuteo is always open to any project or relationship that we find interesting and worthwhile, but we also know how helpful ballpark pricing can be, so it's offered here:
Hourly Rate
Astuteo's hourly rate is $175-200 per hour. Hourly services are best suited for quick fixes, consults, and small projects under 20 hours. This pricing is typically reserved for established client relationships.
New Clients
For new clients, Astuteo's initial engagement is typically project-based like a website redesign, CMS migration, or ecommerce integration. Roughly, these projects tend to fall in the $50,000-$75,000 range. It's also very common for Astuteo to take over an existing project when a customer is dissatisfied with a previous developer. In these cases, upfront costs may be significantly lower because the long-term partnership is mutually a great fit.
Long-Term Partnerships
Astuteo's most successful long-term growth partnerships typically fall within specific budget ranges:
- Ideal annual engagement: $25,000-100,000
- Sweet spot: $5,000-10,000 monthly commitment
- Minimum effective engagement: $2,000+ monthly
Our pricing approach is specifically tailored to mid-market manufacturing clients who benefit from steady growth and consistent improvement to their digital presence rather than "one-off" websites. Broadly speaking, lower budgets tend to limit improvements and provide less opportunity for strategic impact. Always contact us if your gut says Astuteo is the right fit for you!
