Service Rates & Pricing
At PolitiGig, we provide a comprehensive suite of services designed to launch, scale, and sustain modern political campaigns. Whether you need strategic guidance in the boardroom or the technical infrastructure to reach voters online, our pricing is built on transparency and accessibility. We believe that every candidate—from local school board hopefuls to U.S. Senate contenders—deserves professional-grade tools and expert advice without hidden costs.
PolitiGig Counseling Rates
PolitiGig offers a transparent fee structure for our initial strategy and counseling sessions. The hourly rate is based on the type of political race you’re in and the population of the district you are running to represent. This model ensures that our services are accessible and tailored to the scope of your campaign.
Initial Counseling Fee: There is a flat fee of $50 for the first meeting, regardless of duration. This covers the initial assessment and strategy setup for your campaign.
Our time is billed in 6-minute increments (0.1 of an hour) and is counted for all substantive communications, including phone calls, emails, and text messages. We believe in providing clear, professional value for every minute of our time.
How We Calculate Time:
Phone Calls: Time is tracked from the start of the call to the end.
Emails & Text Messages: Each substantive email or text exchange is generally calculated at a minimum of 0.1 of an hour (6 minutes). Simple administrative messages (e.g., “OK, got it”) are not billed.
Large District Messaging: For campaigns in districts with a population of 50,000+, text messages are billed at one minute per message.

Security Comparison: Which Suite is Right for You?
For political campaigns, security is not optional. Here is a quick look at why you might choose one over the other:
Microsoft 365 (Politigig Recommended): The gold standard for data residency and complex permissions. Politigig recommends Microsoft 365 because of its robust security programs specifically tailored to protect political organizations from high-level threats.
Google Workspace: Excellent for campaigns with a high number of volunteers. Its “Advanced Protection Program” is specifically designed to protect high-risk individuals from phishing using hardware security keys.
Zoho Workplace: A strong contender for local races that need a professional look without higher monthly overhead. It includes robust MFA and secure email options.
