Hourly: $150 to $400. Daily: $1,500 to $5,000. Project-based fees scope to outcome, typically $25,000 to $250,000. ROI usually surfaces between months 6 and 12, through efficiency gains and revenue growth that compound after the engagement ends. The cheap consultant is rarely the lowest-cost choice once you measure outcome per dollar.</p> <p>Kamyar Shah, Fractional COO, World Consulting Group.</p> <p><a href="https://kamyarshah.com/business-consultant-cost-pricing-models-and-roi/">kamyarshah.com/business-&hellip;</a></p>
