Here’s how each fee category may impact your budget:
-
Task – one time fee for a specific task; adds predictability to your budget.
-
Participant – variable fee tied to the number surveys participants; can cost you additional money if it includes people that do not complete their survey.
-
Time – repeating fee that shifts the vendor’s risk to you. If you don’t use their service, you still pay. If they underestimate their time requirements, you pay the extra cost.
-
Penalty – exception fee, charged when expectations are not met; upsets your budget by adding surprises to the final bill.
Knowing how the fees impact your budget will help you accurately compare bids.
