Retainer Terms
Choose How You’d Like to Commit
All retainers run on a minimum 3-month term. Longer commitments unlock a lower effective rate, billed in blocks so cash flow stays predictable.
Example: a $749/month Growth retainer on a 12-month term is billed as 3 payments of $2,547 every 4 months (15% off), instead of 12 separate monthly charges.
