Social media management pricing: what you're actually paying for

The four common pricing models

Hourly pricing bills for time spent, so the total changes month to month and rewards slower work. Per-post pricing charges a flat fee for each piece of content, which is predictable but often excludes strategy, replies and reporting. Retainer pricing (the classic agency model) bundles a set of deliverables into a monthly fee, usually with a minimum term attached. Flat-rate pricing bundles the same kind of work into one fixed monthly price with no minimum term, so the number on the invoice is the number you agreed to.

What a fair price should include

A quote that only lists a post count is missing half the job. Ask what’s included beyond production: how many revision rounds, who approves content before it goes live, how fast someone replies to comments and messages, and whether reporting is part of the price or a separate add-on. The gap between a cheap quote and a fair one is usually hidden in these details, not the headline number.

How Creovus prices

Every Creovus plan is flat-rate, from $99 to $449 a month, and the price you see is the price you pay: content production, an approval step before anything publishes and a named contact are included at every tier, not billed separately. There’s no minimum term, so the price stays fair on its own terms, not because you’re locked into it.
