Common pricing models
- Dedicated FTE or per-seat model: The buyer contracts one or more full-time agents assigned exclusively to their account. Indicative 2025 to 2026 ranges: offshore Philippines or India roughly $500 to $1,500 per agent per month for entry-level admin and data roles; nearshore Latin America or South Africa roughly $1,200 to $3,500 per agent per month; onshore US roughly $3,500 to $8,000 per agent per month. This model suits stable, ongoing workflows where process knowledge and consistency matter. Watch for minimum seat requirements and what happens when an agent leaves.
- Hourly or shared resource model: The buyer pays for hours consumed, often with agents shared across multiple clients. Indicative ranges: offshore roughly $4 to $14 per hour; nearshore roughly $10 to $22 per hour; onshore US roughly $22 to $50 per hour. Marketplace benchmarks suggest back-office outsourcing on platforms like Clutch averages under $25 per hour. Good for variable volume, pilots, or buyers not yet ready for a dedicated team. The risk is that shared agents have shallower process knowledge.
- Per-transaction or output-based model: The buyer pays per unit of work completed, such as per invoice processed, per order entered, or per document indexed. This model only works when the task is tightly defined, the output is measurable, and quality controls are enforced. Without quality gates, speed pressure can push agents toward accuracy shortcuts. Best for high-volume, simple, repeatable tasks.
- Fixed monthly retainer: A set scope of work is agreed for a flat monthly fee. Indicative ranges for small businesses outsourcing bookkeeping and admin: roughly $1,500 to $2,000 per month offshore or $2,700 to $4,000 per month onshore. Mid-market full-suite admin and data outsourcing can run roughly $6,000 to $14,000 per month offshore or nearshore. Works well when scope is specific; a vague retainer becomes a billing dispute waiting to happen. Always define what is and is not included before signing.
What drives the cost
- Delivery geography (offshore vs nearshore vs onshore) — the single biggest driver.
- Seniority and specialisation of the team (agents vs analysts vs licensed professionals).
- Engagement model — per-hour, per-seat (dedicated FTE), per-transaction, or outcome-based.
- Volume and contract length — larger, longer commitments earn better rates.
- Compliance and security requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2) add overhead.
- Language coverage and hours (24/7 or multilingual support costs more).
