Pricing — PlausiDen LLC

Transparent pricing

What it costs, before we get on a call.

We'd rather you know up front whether we're affordable than waste your time on a sales call. Here are the ranges. Specific quotes follow the intake conversation; nothing on this page is a binding offer.

Engagement models

Hourly engagements

$185 – $275 / hour. For ongoing work without a fixed scope: configuration changes, incident response, ad-hoc audits. Senior-engineer rate; higher end for after-hours / weekend / on-call. Tracked in 15-minute increments, invoiced monthly with an itemized work log.

Retainer engagements

$2,500 – $9,500 / month. Predictable monthly cost for ongoing operational support — patching, monitoring, periodic audit prep. Sized to staff count + service surface; includes a fixed hour bucket, overflow at the standard hourly rate. 30-day cancellation, no lock-in.

Fixed-scope projects

$8,000 – $60,000 per project. For one-time deliverables with a clear shape: cloud migration, mail-server self-hosting, security audit + remediation, vertical-specific compliance posture. Quoted after a paid discovery (typically $1,500 – $3,000, credited toward the project).

Discovery / scoping

$1,500 – $3,000, fixed. When the shape is unclear or you're shopping vendors. We produce a written assessment of your current state, top three risks, and a recommended next-step plan. Two-week turnaround. Yours to keep regardless of next steps.

What we don't do

No bait-and-switch

The proposal we send is what you pay; scope changes require a written change order with a new price.

No long-term lock-in

Retainers are 30-day cancellable. We'd rather earn renewal than collect a termination fee.

No referral kickbacks

When we recommend a third-party tool or vendor, we are not paid to do so. Recommendations are based on fit.

No license-arbitrage markup

If we resell software (Microsoft 365, etc.) we pass it through at cost.

If our rates don't fit, we'll tell you who does.

We're not a fit for every budget. If you're a 1–2 person practice that needs $50/month tier IT support, you should hire someone other than us — and we'll happily refer. The intake conversation is a free filter that protects your time and ours.
