Pricing & Contracts
Time and Materials
Definition
A pricing model where the client pays for actual hours worked plus direct costs (software licenses, stock images, etc.). You bill based on what the project consumed rather than a pre-agreed price.
Why It Matters
Lower risk for you (paid for every hour) but less predictable for the client. Works best when scope is uncertain or ongoing.
