Two pricing methods in the services industry: 1 - In-house team (employees) paid a salary to carry out the work. Standardised pricing as their costs are predictable. 2 - Agencies using freelancers (contractors) that are paid their rates as and when needed. Your scope -> matched contractors -> their fee + agency margins. No opinion for which is better. What @procur3 does is allows you to see who's using freelancers, who's in-house, who's experienced (like really), what's the spread and "what am I paying for from that spread?" (quality, brand, etc).
