Comparing fractional CMO proposals is notoriously difficult because firms rarely price the same unit. One vendor bills by the hour, another quotes specific deliverables, and a third pitches a flat monthly retainer with an undefined commitment.

Kamyar Shah structures fractional CMO pricing around committed days per week and company revenue tier, completely eliminating logged hours. Engagements typically range from $12,000 to $15,000 per month for one day per week, and $18,000 to $22,000 per month for two days per week. For operations requiring three or more days per week, fees start at $28,000 per month, with the exact scope defining the final figure.
