Rates and Fees

Transparent and flexible pricing tailored to your needs

At Purple Otter, we understand that every project and client is unique. Our rates and fees are designed to reflect the customised nature of consultancy in climate, nature, and social impact, offering value and flexibility as we work together to achieve your goals.

Project-Based Fees

For clearly defined projects with specific deliverables, we offer bespoke quotes tailored to the scope, complexity, and timeline.

Retainers & Ongoing Support

For clients needing continuous advisory or engagement, we can agree fixed monthly retainers ensuring responsive and prioritised support.

Workshops & Facilitation

Pricing for workshops, training, and facilitation is typically based on session length and preparation requirements.

Other Arrangements

We are open to discussing alternative pricing models that suit your budget and objectives.

About Daily and Hourly Rates

While some clients request daily or hourly rates for budgeting transparency, we prefer to focus on the value delivered rather than time alone. If needed, we can provide indicative day rates during project scoping, but final pricing is always based on agreed deliverables and outcomes.

Why We Don't List Fixed Rates Online

Consultancy in climate, biodiversity, and social impact involves varied and often complex challenges. Pre-listing rigid rates can lead to misunderstandings or underestimating project needs. By discussing your exact requirements, we ensure pricing is fair, transparent, and aligned with your project's ambitions and context.
