Understanding Service Add-Ons

3 min read
Updated June 2025

What counts as an add-on vs. what's included in your plan, how add-ons are scoped and priced, and how they appear on your invoice.

Your subscription plan covers a defined set of services within defined scope limits. When you need something that goes beyond that — more website updates than your plan includes, a new service category, or a one-time project — it's billed as an add-on.

What's Typically Included in Your Plan

  • A set number of IT support hours per month.
  • A set number of website content updates per month.
  • Hosting, maintenance, and monitoring for services under your plan.
  • Monthly reporting and scheduled account management calls.

What's Billed as an Add-On

  • IT support hours beyond your plan's monthly allocation.
  • Website changes beyond your included update count (adding pages, major redesign work, e-commerce features).
  • New design projects (marketing materials, brand identity, social graphics).
  • Hardware procurement and setup.
  • Rush service fees for same-day or next-day delivery.
  • VPN subscription (billed separately through the VPN checkout flow).

How Add-Ons Are Scoped

Before any add-on work begins, your account manager will provide a written scope and price — either a flat project fee or an hourly estimate with a cap. You must approve the scope before work starts. You'll never be billed for add-on work you didn't explicitly authorize.
