Lara Pricing

Pay for what you use, not what you might use

Lara is an online service which is priced in the most fair way we could think of.  You pay only for what you use.  Instead of making fixed monthly packages, which include things that you do or don't need, we charge you only for the things you do. This equates to less cost for you and no limits to what you can or can't do with Lara. 

Think of Lara pricing like a pre-paid mobile phone.  You buy credit (which never expires), and as you use the system, credit is deducted from your account.  When you start to run low, just top up your account with as much or as little as you like. There are no commitments.  

Here are the costs to use Lara:

Lara Account $0.09/day          ($2.70/month)
Bandwidth (and computing)  $1.00/GB
Storage Space $0.04/GB/day    ($1.20/GB per month)
Emails Sent (from contact boxes, email marketing etc) $0.01/email

eCommerce

Properties Listed 1-100 $0.18/property (per month)
Properties Listed 101-300 $0.15/property (per month)
Properties Listed 301-1000 $0.12/property (per month)
Properties Listed 1001-10000 $0.09/property (per month)
Properties Listed > 10000 $0.06/property (per month)

How much will I use?

Most people don't know how much bandwidth or how much storage their website uses.  

You would probably be surprised to learn that the average small business website uses less than 1GB of bandwidth/month. Large hosting companies know this, that's why they offer hundreds of GBs for low costs. They know most people will never use it, and they can make a huge profit on those customers.  

Consider this for a rough estimate:  

Your website has 20 pages and has the usual assortment of images, text and a couple of videos.  You have around 1000 visitors/month (a decent amount for most small businesses).  You will use around 1.5 GB of bandwidth and 0.1 GB of storage and, if you are lucky, you'll get 50 emails from those visitors.  If this happened, you would pay around $4.82/month.  

Aligning our goals with your goals

There is another reason that Lara is priced the way it is. Here at Geographical Media, we try to ensure that your goals and our goals are in alignment so we can truly work together in partnership.  By setting up our pricing the way we have, we feel that we have achieved that goal.  

You want your website to be successful, to have a lot of visitors and for those visitors to contact you.  That is why you are making a website, and if you achieve those goals, your website will be very valuable to you.  

With the pricing structure above, it also benefits us for your website to have a lot of visitors, and for those visitors to contact you.  If that doesn't happen, well, you'll practically get a website for free. So we are going to work hard to help make your website as successful as possible to help you achieve your goals, and us achieve ours. 

We look forward to partnering with you and hope you'll think of us in that way as well.
