What it costs,
stated plainly
We publish our rates because a budget should not begin with a call just to find out whether you are in range. These are the starting figures. Every project is priced through a prior quote that accounts for the area, the hours, the disciplines and the actual scope.

All prices are in US dollars and exclude the 13% Costa Rican VAT.

| Video production | $175 per hour | 1 – 2 vertical reels per hour of shooting. Brand films and long-form pieces are quoted per project. |
| Drone | $200 per hour | 8 – 12 edited aerial shots per flight session |
| Events and activations | $300 / hora both services · two-hour minimum | Photography: 40 – 60 images per two-hour coverage. Film: a 1 – 2 minute event recap. |
| Social content | by package | Between 14 and 116 assets per month depending on the tier |
