The cost of social design

How much a designer costs for social media
(and why the math stops working)

A one-off post usually runs between $20 and $60, and a carousel easily passes $100. That sounds fair until you need twenty pieces a month: design becomes the biggest line in the budget and volume stalls.

Why price per piece never scales

Every post is a fresh quote

You ask, wait for the price, approve, and only then does the piece enter the queue. Every week, again.

Revisions are billed too

Changing one word or a button color becomes an extra round, and often extra hours.

The deadline is not yours

The promo runs tomorrow but the freelancer delivers on Thursday. The post misses the date.

Double the volume, double the bill

Going from five to twenty posts a month earns no discount: it multiplies the price by four.

The margin you keep when design is a fixed cost

With a roster of clients, cost per piece eats the margin on every contract. A flat monthly price lets you bill for results instead of passing the freelancer's invoice along with each campaign.

  • Several clients on one subscription
  • Invoicing under the agency's account
  • The whole team in the same workspace
Client A — 20 posts a month
Client B — 12 posts a month
Client C — 30 posts a month
Client D — 8 posts a month
Side by side

$40 a piece, or the whole month included

Twenty posts a month from a freelancer runs well past $800. On InMedia that volume is included in the subscription, and the piece is ready the same day you thought of it.

  • No charge per round of edits
  • No waiting on a delivery date
  • Cancel whenever you want
20 posts from a freelancer: from $800
20 posts on InMedia: included in the plan
Edits and redos: no extra cost
⚡ Predictable cost every month

If artwork cost is the only bottleneck, start with AI graphic design and the AI carousel maker.
