Transparent retainers, no hidden fees

Claimfrost pricing that does not need a decoder ring

Every number on this page is the number you pay. No setup fees dressed up as onboarding, no percentage-of-spend games, no surprise invoices mid-month. Pick a plan, we will tell you honestly if it fits, and if it does not we will say so before you sign anything.

Quoted prices are the price

Whatever number you see is what you get invoiced. GST is noted separately because that is the law, not a surprise.

Monthly, not locked-in yearly

Retainers roll monthly after the first three months. No twelve-month contracts hiding in the small print.

No percentage of ad spend

Our fees are flat, so we never have a reason to push your budget higher just to boost our own invoice.

Upgrade or downgrade any month

Plans are not one-way doors. Move up when content is working, scale back when it is quiet.

Two services, five plans

Always included

The things we do not charge extra for

Some agencies nickel and dime you for the basics. We would rather just include them, tell you up front and get on with the work.

Strategy and planning

Editorial calendar, brief writing and channel plans are part of every retainer, not an add-on invoice.

Caption and copywriting

Every post comes with copy written in your brand voice by someone who has read your guidelines.

Monthly reporting

One page, plain English, published on the same day every month. No forty-slide decks nobody reads.

Direct access to your lead

A shared messaging channel with the person running your account, not a ticket queue.

What is extra

Costs that sit outside the retainer

We would rather list these now than surprise you later. All pass-through costs are invoiced at cost with receipts attached.

Ad spend

Paid directly to Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn or Google on your own accounts. We never take a cut of media budget.

Creator fees

When we bring in creators, their rates are quoted up front and billed at cost with no agency markup.

Stock imagery and music

Licensed assets used in your content are passed through at cost, receipts included in your invoice.

Travel outside Brisbane

Shoot days outside South East Queensland include travel at cost. We will always quote before booking.

How we pick a plan

Choosing the right tier takes about thirty minutes

We do not push the biggest plan. We push the one that will actually work for the size of your business right now.

01

Quick discovery call

Thirty minutes on the phone or video. We ask about your goals, audience and what is not working right now.

02

Plan recommendation

We send a written recommendation with the exact plan we think fits, plus the reasoning behind it.

03

Scope and approval

You review the scope, ask any questions and approve. Nothing starts until you give a clear yes.

04

Kickoff within ten days

Contract signed, first invoice issued, kickoff call booked. Most clients are producing content in ten days.

Pricing questions

The things people ask before signing

If your question is not here, ask it directly. We would rather talk it through than have you guessing about invoices.

Ask about pricing

No. Any setup time we spend — strategy docs, calendar builds, tracking configuration — is part of the first month of your retainer. We do not invoice separately for it.

Yes, once you are past the initial three months. Give us thirty days' notice and we will pause with no exit fee. Restarting later is straightforward and your assets stay archived on our side.

Prices shown are ex-GST. GST is added at the statutory rate on your invoice. We list it as plus GST because that is what shows on the invoice line, and we would rather be transparent than vague.

We flag it in the shared channel and send a written scope adjustment before we start the extra work. You approve it, we bill it. No surprises on the invoice.

We offer an eight percent discount if you prepay twelve months up front. It is genuinely voluntary, and plenty of clients stay monthly because they value the flexibility more.

Our Refund Policy covers cancellations, credits and adjustments in plain English. The Terms & Conditions go deeper if you want the full contract language.
Worth the money?

A few words from clients who pay our invoices

No paid reviews, no polished case study fluff. Just what real clients have told us.

We were paying more elsewhere and getting less. The Compound plan felt expensive at first, but the content pipeline it gave us made the ROI obvious by month three.

Jess M. — retail founder, Melbourne

The flat fee on paid social was the deciding factor. No percentage-of-spend games meant I could scale budget without my agency bill ballooning every month.

Ronan T. — e-commerce director, Perth

They recommended the smaller plan when we asked them to pitch bigger. That honesty alone was worth the retainer, and we have stayed for two years.
