Pricing models

ScopePilot services can be fixed fee, hourly, retainer, or milestone, and each line keeps its pricing model.

Fixed-fee risk

Fixed pricing needs stronger exclusions because delivery overruns reduce margin.

Hourly risk

Hourly pricing still needs a clear estimate, timeline, and approval boundary so clients know what they are accepting.

Margin view

Compare quote price, estimated cost, discounts, and target margin before choosing the client-facing model.

Proposal editability

Draft proposal line items can be edited before sending, so the model and price can match the actual scope.
