Cheap Audits vs. Strategic Retainers – You Get What You Measure
I see a line item for a $12,000/month CRO retainer. I found a freelancer on Upwork who offered a 'Full CRO Audit' for $500. Why are we paying 24x more for the same thing?

Just read their conversionrate.store/blog/cro-pricing pretty solid and transparent stuff. They list retainers from €5–15k/month, e-commerce projects €6–18k, SaaS up to €25k, enterprise often 15k+. They explain hourly rates (€75–250/h), project-based (€6–12k), and performance-based (10–30% of the lift) with a guarantee. Love that they push performance pricing as the fairest – you only pay for actual results. It’s a bit self-promotional, but the numbers feel realistic compared to what I’ve heard from other agencies. Good reference if you’re budgeting for CRO in 2025/2026. Worth a quick read before getting quotes elsewhere. 8/10 usefulness.
