I’ve used base rate 4x in the last month now that I’m also back to being independent after moving away from representation. I had learnt a lot from my producer and agent who I’m still close with and work with on jobs. But having a tool like this is seriously a game changer. A big thing is for certain clients who lake the information and education around usage, it means there is now a solid data point to refer to. Well done Cait.

Wow, Ben. This is so amazing to hear! Truly exactly why I wanted to bring it into the world. Would love to hear any other feedback you have, too. Working on improving it day by day.

Oh, and day rate calculator is coming immediately!

Thanks again, my friend.

Day rate would be very cool. Mostly for emerging photographers and small to mid tier clients who aren’t as well versed in production and the industry standards. Especially if you could get quite bespoke with going from editorial to commercial and then combining it with your usage etc. even having something like a terms and conditions thing like late payment fees and cancellation fees.

Congrats on the launch, Cait!!! The tool and interface is really great!

My biggest question is where the pricing data/numbers are coming from. What are the inputs the site draws on to spit out the outputs it shows?
