Why Choose Thrivepix Over Contract Basis

Quick Summary

Thrivepix's subscription model provides predictable monthly costs, unlimited requests, and faster turnaround compared to traditional project-based contracts.

What You'll Learn

  • Predictable monthly costs vs variable project costs
  • No project-by-project negotiations
  • Unlimited requests vs fixed scope
  • Faster turnaround times
  • Long-term partnership benefits

The Contract Basis Problem

Traditional project-based contracts come with challenges:

  • Unpredictable costs - Each project is quoted separately
  • Scope creep - Changes cost extra, leading to budget overruns
  • Negotiation time - Every project requires quotes, proposals, and negotiations
  • Fixed scope - Can't easily add features or make changes
  • Slow start - Each project requires onboarding and discovery
  • Payment terms - 50% upfront, 50% on completion, or milestone-based
