A retainer is an agreement where a client pays you a fixed amount every month in exchange for an agreed set of services. It gives you predictable income and removes the stress of looking for new clients every single month. But it also means committing to ongoing work with one client, which can be limiting if better opportunities come along. Some freelancers love retainers while others prefer the freedom of charging per project. Do you think retainers are worth it, and how do you structure yours to make sure both you and the client are getting fair value?
