Flexible pricing models to suit your needs

At Houston & Ko, we offer three transparent pricing models to match your unique project requirements.

We work together with you to decide which option best suits you and your situation.

The rates charged for each of the above models are dependent on a number of factors, including the complexity of the work to be completed, the skill set required and level of experience of the chosen freelancer.

At Houston & Ko, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Each arrangement is tailored to the client’s requirements and budget.
