Subscription or Outsourcing

Design retainer or design outsourcing — what actually differs

sufly prices capacity, not a list of deliverables. How many people are attached each month is settled first, and the team then keeps taking as much work as it can carry. The structure is the same as a design subscription, except that planning, front-end and development sit inside the same agreement rather than design alone.

Below are the three arrangements companies usually compare when reviewing design outsourcing.

  • Per-job outsourcing

    How cost is set
    Quoted for each job.
    How requests work
    Scope and schedule are renegotiated each time.
    What is covered
    Only the job you commissioned.
    Brand knowledge
    A change of vendor means explaining everything again.
    Unused capacity
    Not applicable
    Best suited to
    A handful of one-off projects a year

  • Design subscription

    How cost is set
    A fixed monthly fee.
    How requests work
    Requests queue and are taken in order.
    What is covered
    Usually graphic design only.
    Brand knowledge
    The person assigned can change often.
    Unused capacity
    Usually expires.
    Best suited to
    Low-volume, simple repeating work

  • sufly man-month model

    How cost is set
    Set by the capacity attached, in man-months.
    How requests work
    A dedicated PM places them on the monthly schedule.
    What is covered
    Planning, design, front-end and development, in one agreement.
    Brand knowledge
    The same team continues, and the rules accumulate.
    Unused capacity
    Carries for up to two months; a heavy month can add people through Booster.
    Best suited to
    Companies with steady monthly work across several channels

FAQS

More questions

Which configuration should we start with?
sufly designs the right resource structure with you, based on how your organisation is set up, the expected volume,
the timeline and the target. Not having a fixed budget is fine — a specialist reads what you need and proposes
the most efficient team.
How does onboarding work?
After signing, a dedicated PM is assigned and collaboration tools — Asana, Slack, the Partner Portal — are set up. The kick-off meeting walks through how to use the service and how to raise requests, and for the first week or two we help shape the request process so the project can start quickly.
What payment methods are supported?
Monthly tax invoicing is available. Recurring corporate card payment is planned.
How much resource does a typical design project take?
It depends on scope and purpose. On request we brief and review first, then propose the expected man-months. Anything from a single design option to a full rebrand is covered, and the resource estimate is set out openly.
How is AI used in the work?
AI is not applied across every project by default. It is used selectively where it improves the result or shortens production — concept development, brand research and repetitive design work, for example — and only with the client's agreement.
How is design outsourcing usually priced?

Two ways: per job, or per capacity. Per job you only pay for what you order but every order needs a negotiation; per capacity a fixed team is attached each month and keeps taking requests.

When monthly volume is steady, capacity is usually the better of the two. sufly builds teams between 1 and 40 man-months, starting from roughly KRW 12,000,000 per month.

How is this different from a design subscription?
The fixed-fee, fixed-capacity part is the same. sufly also covers planning, front-end and development inside the same agreement rather than design alone.
Is there a set minimum contract period?
sufly runs anything from a short concentrated push (one to three months) to long-term operation that can scale down (six to twelve months).
You can focus on a short campaign or an opening push, or carry it on into year-round brand operations.
The structure bends to the purpose and the situation.
Can pricing be customised?
sufly prices on a man-month basis, designed around your budget, timeline and request volume. Anything from a single project to continuous operation can be configured, with a separate quote where needed.
What if we do not use all the resource in a month?
Because pricing is resource-based, unused resource carries into the following month, up to a maximum of two months. It is set up this way so that unpredictable periods can still be handled.
What is included in the fee?
There is no fixed base fee — the structure is pure resource. PM, creative direction, tool integration, the Partner Portal, real-time monitoring and archive management are all provided together.
What if the project budget suddenly has to increase?
Where concentrated resource is needed for a short time, a Booster package can be added a month at a time. It covers temporary spikes such as Black Friday, seasonal campaigns and rebrands.
What do you need in order to quote?
The type of work, the channels, the expected monthly volume and the start date. Send those through the Start a project and we will come back after review.
