Three tiers, real numbers,
no "contact us"

Pricing is a feature. You should know what something costs before you book a call. The three tiers below cover ~90% of work I do for content teams; if your project doesn't fit, we'll scope a fair Custom plan together.

Tiers

These don't slot cleanly into A1/S3/CX. Pricing scoped per engagement — talk to the duck for a quote.

Ad iteration loop

Take a creative that already converts. The loop I build generates dozens of on-brand variations nightly — copy, captions, thumbnail tweaks, A/B-ready exports. You wake up to a fresh batch.

What I don't do

Honest no list.

I'd rather refer you to someone better than take a job I'm wrong for. These are things RDTS isn't the right shop for. Talk to the duck and I'll send you to who is.

  • Pure marketing sites
    Get a Webflow studio. RDTS is for software, not landing pages.
  • Training models from weights
    LoRA, SFT, RLHF — different specialty. I integrate models, I don’t train new ones. I’ll refer you.
  • Mobile apps
    React Native specialists exist. I’m not one.
  • Crypto / token / web3
    Not building in this space.
  • "Equity-only" deals
    Cash only. See FAQ.
FAQ

Pricing
questions.

Anything else? Ask the duck.

Why fixed pricing instead of hourly?

+

Hourly billing rewards me for being slow and punishes you for asking questions. Fixed pricing keeps incentives aligned: I get paid for the outcome, not the clock. If I underestimate, that’s on me. If you change scope, we re-scope honestly. The only exceptions are Custom retainers (monthly) where the work is genuinely open-ended.

What’s included beyond the build?

+

Tier A1 includes 7 days of post-ship bug fixes. Tier S3 includes 30 days. Both include source code transfer (it’s yours, not mine), a deployment doc, and a README that explains the system to a future developer. Custom retainers include ongoing work and priority Slack access.

How do payments work?

+

For A1 and S3: 50% deposit to start, 50% on delivery. ACH or Stripe. For Custom retainers: monthly invoicing in advance. I’m a US-registered LLC (Long Win LLC) so 1099 / W9 work is straightforward for US clients.

What if my project doesn’t fit your tiers?

+

Then we have a 5-minute call and either I’ll show you a fair Custom scope, or I’ll honestly tell you it’s not the right fit. I refer out work I’m not the best person for. The worst outcome is a free conversation.

Do you take equity, sweat-only, or revenue share?

+

No. Cash only. I’ve seen too many "we’ll pay in equity" deals end with the founder ghosting after delivery. RDTS is a working studio, not a co-founder hunt.
