How agencies charge.

Social media package prices are hard to compare because agencies charge in four different ways. This is what each one means for you.

ModelHow it worksGood whenWatch for
Monthly planA fixed fee for a fixed scope.You want a steady rhythm and a predictable bill.A scope so vague that everything extra becomes an invoice.
Per postYou pay for each piece delivered.You need a few assets, not an account run for you.Nobody owns the result, only the deliveries.
HourlyTime is logged and billed.Short consulting, training, a one time fix.You carry the risk of slow work.
Performance basedThe fee depends on followers, reach or sales.Rarely. Paid campaigns with clean tracking, sometimes.Follower targets are the fastest route to bought followers.

Varmerk uses monthly plans, with the scope written down in the plan you approve. It is the only model where both sides want the same thing: a rhythm that holds.

One time and add on.

Bought on their own, or added to a monthly plan.

Comparing quotes

How to compare two agency prices.

Social media marketing agency pricing only compares when the scope does. Put these eight lines side by side before you look at the totals.

  1. Pieces per week, by format. "Twelve posts a month" can mean twelve Reels or twelve reposted quotes.
  2. Who shoots. Footage from your team, from the agency, or from stock changes the price more than anything else.
  3. Who answers comments and DMs, during which hours, and what gets handed to you.
  4. How approvals work. Batches or single posts, and how many rounds of changes are included.
  5. What the report contains. Numbers only, or numbers and what changes because of them.
  6. Who owns the files. Raw footage, project files and templates, during the contract and after it.
  7. How ad spend is handled. Paid by you to the platform, or through the agency with a markup.
  8. How you leave. Notice period, handover of access and files, and what happens to scheduled posts.

If a quote cannot answer all eight in writing, the low number on it does not mean much.

What month one looks like.

So you know what you are paying for before the first post goes out.

  1. Week 1Audit into plan.The free audit becomes a one page plan: audience, formats, rhythm, what stops. You approve it.
  2. Week 2Access and first batch.Roles in Meta Business Suite and TikTok Business Center, a shot list for your team, the first content batch in production.
  3. Week 3First posts go live.You see the week before it is scheduled. Nothing is posted without your approval.
  4. Week 4First weekly review.A baseline for every number we will watch, and the first changes to the plan.
So there are no surprises

What is not included.

Ad spendPaid by you, directly to Meta or TikTok, from your own ad account.
Products for creatorsUGC creators need the product in hand. You ship it, or we add shipping at cost.
On location shootsMost content is made from footage your team shoots with our shot list. A shoot on location is quoted per project, once we know the place and the shot list, and it is only needed when the shot list cannot be filmed in house.
Influencer feesIf a campaign uses paid creators with their own audience, their fee is separate and passed through without markup.
Tools you already pay forWe work inside your scheduler or ours. You never pay for a second one because of us.

In house, freelancer or agency.

A comparison that includes the cases where we are the wrong choice.

OptionBest whenYou manageThe risk
In house hireSocial is central to the business and there is daily material to shoot.A person: hiring, training, holidays, tools.One person rarely plans, shoots, edits, writes and analyzes equally well.
FreelancerYou know exactly what you want made and can brief it.The plan and the quality control.Availability. When they are busy or away, the account stops.
AgencyYou want the whole loop handled: plan, content, posting, review.Approvals, and footage from your side.Distance from the business. We fix that with a shot list and a weekly review.
Do it yourselfThe business is small and the owner is the brand.Everything, with a plan to follow.It is the first thing dropped in a busy week. The free audit comes with a four week plan for exactly this case.

What changes the number.

Three things, and the audit tells us all three before we quote.

FactorWhy it mattersHow we handle it
PlatformsTwo platforms are not double the work, because short video is made once.The combined plan is priced below two single plans.
VolumePosts per week drive production time more than anything else.We recommend a rhythm you can keep for a year, not the largest one.
Who shootsFootage from your team costs less than footage we have to produce.We send a shot list, or bring in a UGC creator when that is cheaper.

Plans run month to month. Thirty days notice on either side, invoiced on the first of the month with fourteen day terms, in US dollars. Nothing is locked in, because a plan that only holds because of a contract is not working anyway.

Questions

About money.

How much does social media management cost?

It depends on platforms, volume and who shoots the footage. The plans above show the price for each combination, and the quote you get after the audit uses those numbers.

Why do you publish prices when most agencies do not?

Because a price you have to ask for is usually a price that depends on who is asking. Published pricing keeps us honest and saves both sides a call.

Is ad spend included?

No. You pay ad spend directly to Meta or TikTok from your own ad account. Our fee covers planning, creative and management.

Are there setup fees?

No. There is no onboarding fee and no setup fee. The first audit is free, and the plan that follows starts at the monthly price.

Is there a minimum contract?

No minimum term. Plans run month to month with thirty days notice on either side. We will say that the first ninety days is when a direction starts to show, but that is advice rather than a clause.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer or card, against an invoice issued on the first of the month with fourteen day terms. Prices are in US dollars, and ad spend is always paid by you directly to the platform.

What if it is not working?

You will hear it from us first, in a weekly review. We change the plan, and if it still does not work we say so. Nobody is kept on a plan that is not earning its fee.

Is the second audit free too?

The first audit of an account is free. Repeat audits for accounts we do not run are a paid one time service, at $250.

Can I change plans?

Yes. Plans follow the account. If the weekly review shows that a second platform is not earning its cost, we will be the ones to suggest dropping it.

Do you offer a cheaper plan for very small businesses?

The audit is free and comes with a four week plan you can run yourself. For many small businesses that is the right first step, and it costs nothing.

The quote comes after it, and only if you ask.
