2026 AI designer and video freelancer pricing: sell outcomes, not hours
Real 2026 market rates for AI creative freelancing: social ad creative packs at $50 to $150, AI product shots at $100 to $500 per image, short AI clips at $100 to $400, and design-as-a-service retainers at $1,000 to $5,000 a month. The pricing rule that repeats across sources: stop billing hourly, sell packaged outcomes. Rates are US/UK based and need localization elsewhere.
