Published monthly fee examples
For Roar's managed ads offer, plan for its $299/month fee plus at least $500/month paid directly to platforms, before taxes. For a Vonk website-only starting scope, Infrastructure is from $147/month with $349 setup. A social-only Roar purchase is $59/month, with account setup optional. These are separate provider/scope examples, not a combined stack or sector range; confirm dollar currency.
Typical paid monthly spend: Insufficient comparable client-paid evidence. These are public reference points, not an industry average or an all-in budget. Media, setup and extra work must be checked separately.
Separate the work before the budget
Costs by service.
A package fee is not the price of every service inside it. We only show a separate fee when the source publishes one. Do not add bundled rows together or treat management fees as including ad spend. Missing prices mean this research has not established a rate, not that the work is free.
Google Ads management
Published service priceEnlightened Media: from $500/month
Mortgage-specific management with no setup fee. Detailed terms mention an initial three-month period; confirm media budget and cancellation notice.
Meta Ads management
Add-on, base plan requiredVonk: $50/month + $497 setup for retargeting
Requires a Vonk website (from $147/month plus $349 setup) and a 1,000-person pixel audience. Media is additional. This is narrow retargeting, not general Meta acquisition. Roar’s $299 multichannel management is a different scope.
Content production
Part of a packageNo standalone price published
Vonk Authority: from $497/month + $949 setup, including website. Original/localized content is tied to a wider website/SEO plan. Roar's separately priced $59/month curated-blog add-on is not an equivalent production service.
Social media management
Published service priceRoar: $59/month; optional $99 account setup
Approximately two posts weekly. The FAQ says posts publish without prior client review; obtain written approval/compliance arrangements before ordering. Confirm platforms because pricing and the older FAQ differ. Client handles comment replies.
Website hosting
Part of a packageNo standalone price published
Roar Small: $35/month; Vonk Infrastructure: from $147/month. Both figures buy managed website services, not hosting alone. Setup and features differ; domain ownership does not establish website portability.
Website build
Part of a packageNo standalone price published
Roar: from $199 setup plus $35/month; Vonk: $349 setup plus from $147/month. Separately stated setup charges are attached to ongoing website subscriptions. Roar's starting setup permits at most two design hours. No standalone project benchmark is claimed.

A few useful answers
Common questions.
Is low-cost Meta retargeting a full lead-generation service?
No. Vonk's offer follows existing site visitors, requires its website/pixel setup and lists an audience threshold. It does not establish cold-audience acquisition pricing.
What does the $59 blog-posting example buy?
Roar lists two curated posts monthly. That is not evidence of original research or custom mortgage articles.
Can I buy the website build without a subscription?
That was not established. Roar and Vonk publish setup fees alongside ongoing hosted plans, not a standalone transferable build price.
Evidence, not promises.
Published packages can change. Confirm a written proposal with the provider before budgeting. Prices do not establish quality, ranking, or likely results. Ask for comparable client references and a measurement plan before hiring.
