Pricing

Capped time and materials model

When it comes to pricing, Red Pony offers clients complete transparency. While we can employ a number of different pricing models depending on your requirements, our preferred model is a 'capped time and materials’ quote.

This means we set an upper limit on the job from the outset, showing the maximum amount of time we expect the job to take. We maintain a record of previous projects to assist us in providing accurate estimates.

If the job comes in under this estimate, you only pay for the time taken to complete the work. Your invoice will include a comprehensive timesheet showing a breakdown of each project component and the consultant responsible for this work.

If the job looks likely to exceed the initial estimate (e.g. the project scope changes), we will contact you well in advance and discuss how you wish to proceed.

Other pricing models

We can use other pricing models if required, such as working to a specific budget, or providing a fixed price quote. However, in our experience any supplier offering a fixed price will build all possible contingencies into the quote, so the client often ends up paying more than they should.

Our preferred model provides transparency and allows the client to remain in control of the job. In the long run, we think this approach will encourage you to choose Red Pony for subsequent projects.

Free quote

Red Pony provides free quotes for our services. For editing and proofreading projects, we offer estimates based on a sample edit. We will review a representative sample of the total document to evaluate the type and extent of changes required, and calculate the likely hours necessary to complete the project.

Your quote will include the sample as an electronic document with suggested modifications marked as 'tracked changes'.
