Agency Retainer Pricing Guide helps agency operators improving proposal operations make proposal scope, pricing, payment schedules, exclusions, and approval mechanics easier to evaluate. A practical agency guide: retainers need capacity and outcome boundaries, using the monthly capacity model framework.
Retainer model
ScopePilot supports retainer as a service pricing model alongside fixed, hourly, and milestone work.
Capacity boundary
Define the monthly hours, deliverables, and response expectations before setting the retainer price.
Cost visibility
Enter the estimated internal cost for the retainer so gross margin is visible before the proposal is sent.
Scope boundary
List work outside the retainer as exclusions or change-order triggers, not informal promises.
Review loop
Use viewed, sent, approved, and expired proposal outcomes to tighten future retainer services in the catalog.
