Fees Are Quoted After Fit Review. Here's How the Pricing Model Works.

Fees quoted after fit review with scope confirmed before payment and no hidden fees.

This page explains the pricing model — not a price list. No two engagements are identical. Specific amounts are disclosed by your AM after fit review confirms eligibility. If you need a fixed price upfront, this model is not the right fit.

This model is for qualified performance advertisers who have passed fit review. Not for advertisers seeking fixed published pricing, guaranteed outcomes, or casino/gambling verticals.

What is Portcast's Pricing Model?

Portcast's Pricing Model is a custom, scope-based fee structure designed for enterprise advertisers. Instead of flat published rates, fees are quoted individually after a comprehensive fit review. This ensures that advertisers only pay for the specific account complexity, platform requirements, and operational support their engagement demands, with absolutely no hidden fees.

FAQs

Common Fee Misconceptions

Resolving doubts that cause qualified buyers to self-disqualify before they should.

Do you require upfront payment before services are delivered?
No — Portcast does not require full upfront payment before service delivery. Payment terms are confirmed during quote review and reflect the scope and timeline of the engagement.
Is a monthly retainer required for all engagements?
No — a monthly retainer is not required for all engagements. Retainers apply to ongoing operational support. One-time engagements are priced per engagement.
Are there hidden fees beyond the quoted amount?
No — Portcast does not apply hidden fees. The quote covers the scoped work. The only additional costs are payment method fees, disclosed at quote time.
What is your refund policy?
Portcast's refund policy is scope-dependent and confirmed in writing before work begins. Services delivered are non-refundable. For undelivered work, Portcast provides a pro-rata refund. Portcast does not offer unconditional refunds. Review service terms.
Why don't you publish specific prices?
No two engagements are identical. Your platform situation, account needs, and scope determine the fee. Publishing a flat price that doesn't match your situation would be misleading. After fit review, your AM quotes a specific amount.
What's included in the fee?
Account access, setup, ongoing support, direct platform escalation, and a dedicated AM — 24/7, not a shared inbox. Exact scope is confirmed before any payment.
What happens before I pay anything?
Fit review → scope confirmation → quote. No payment before you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.
