Step 12: Pricing
Pricing is the last step before your subscription. These are the numbers buyers weigh when they decide whether to contact you, so clear, confident pricing wins where vague pricing loses. To be clear, this is the price you show clients — Vendoralia never touches the money. Buyers reach out and pay you directly.
What buyers see first
Whatever you set as your Basic price becomes the headline figure on your search card and profile — “$X MXN” for packages, “/hr” for hourly, “/mo” for retainers. It is the number that decides whether someone clicks at all, so make your Basic option genuinely appealing, not a throwaway.
Pick One Pricing Model
You choose a single model for your profile. Each works differently, so pick the one that matches how you actually sell.
One-Time Packages
Best for: project work with a defined deliverable
Offer one, two, or three packages — Basic is required, Standard and Premium are optional. Each package has a title, a price, a delivery time, a revision count, and an optional feature list.
Examples: A bathroom remodel, event decoration, a wedding photo package, a solar panel install
Hourly Rate
Best for: variable-scope work billed by time
A single setup, no tiers: your hourly rate, a minimum number of hours per project, your weekly availability in hours, and an optional feature list.
Examples: Legal consultation, business advisory, executive coaching, financial planning, handyman call-outs
Monthly Retainer
Best for: ongoing work with recurring deliverables
Offer one, two, or three monthly tiers. Each has a title, a monthly price, the hours included that month, and an optional feature list.
Examples: Monthly accounting, ongoing home maintenance, gardening upkeep, HR support, bookkeeping
Important
“Quote” pricing is only available on a one-time package when you offer a single package — hourly and monthly always need a real number. If you do show “Quote,” back it up with a FAQ that gives a rough range, or budget-conscious buyers will quietly move on.
Name Packages After Outcomes
When you offer one-time packages or monthly tiers, the title is yours to write. “Basic / Standard / Premium” says nothing; an outcome name tells the buyer what they walk away with.
| Generic (weak) | Outcome-based (strong) |
|---|---|
| Basic / Standard / Premium | Quick Fix / Full Remodel / Turnkey Renovation |
| Basic / Standard / Premium | Essential Plan / Growth Plan / Full-Service Retainer |
Payment Methods You Accept
Pick at least one — you can select several. This simply tells buyers how they can pay you when they hire you off the platform.
Best Practice
Unsure which model fits? Start with one-time packages — buyers grasp them at a glance, and you can switch models later from your profile editor. Prices are shown in MXN, so set your numbers for the Tijuana market.
Common Mistakes
✕ Vague feature lists like “various services” instead of concrete deliverables
✕ Offering tiers that look nearly identical — buyers just default to the cheapest
✕ Guessing at a price during setup and never revisiting it after launch
