How we calculated this

Included services draw on the Commerce & Technology Partnership’s 15 monthly hours; additional hours are $125, and from month 13 the retainer is $3,000 a month. With the Commerce Flagship, a custom-designed build with migration included, the partnership is $4,250 a month for months 1–12, then $3,000. Paying the build upfront instead (Foundation Plus $6,000, Flagship Plus $15,000), the partnership is $3,000 a month from day one, month-to-month; the calculator shows that fee separately and nets it off the first-year figure. Growth services are add-ons at their published monthly price and don’t use included hours. ELYSIAN hours are our estimate of the monthly time each included service takes at each level. Specialist figures use the low end of published 2026 retainer ranges, and growth services are compared with starting rates; analytics is converted from GBP. Both sides exclude ad spend, software and app subscriptions, and one-time builds.
