Where a design subscription beats the traditional ways to hire.
No hourly clock, no scope creep, no chasing replies. One flat fee, unlimited tasks, and a team that doesn't disappear mid-project.
No $5k–$9k loaded monthly salary, no recruiting, no benefits or downtime between projects. Design capacity that flexes with your workload.
No five-figure minimums or per-project quotes. Big-agency quality output at a fraction of the cost, with source files always included.
Logos, social, print, web, packaging, decks and illustration from one subscription — instead of hiring (or vetting) a different specialist for each.
Pause in slow months and resume when pipeline returns. You pay for a busy month, not an idle salary.
Skip the 30–90 day hiring cycle. First designs land within 48 hours of your first brief.

If you have a single, well-defined one-off project, a freelance graphic designer billed per project can be the cheapest route. If you have ongoing or varied design needs — social, ads, print, web, decks — an unlimited subscription is usually cheaper and faster. A senior freelancer at $80–$150/hr for 10–20 hours/month costs $1,200–$3,000/month; Digital Polo's Partner plan is $399/month for unlimited tasks across every discipline, with no per-project scoping or revision fees.
Freelance graphic designers charge roughly $25–$150 per hour in the US (2026), depending on seniority. A full-time in-house designer costs about $4,200–$9,500 per month fully loaded (salary, benefits, software, overhead). Digital Polo replaces both with a flat $399/month subscription for a dedicated design team and unlimited tasks.
You're onboarded within 24 hours of subscribing and your first designs land within 48 hours of your first brief — versus a 30–90 day cycle to recruit and hire a full-time designer, or the back-and-forth of vetting a freelancer.
Yes. You work with a dedicated designer (Partner plan) or a dedicated team (Soulmate plan) who learns your brand and carries it across every task — so you get consistency without managing a payroll employee.
You can — the plans are month-to-month, so you can subscribe, get your project done within the SLA window with unlimited revisions, and pause or cancel. Because there's no per-project fee, a single busy month often costs less than a comparable freelance or agency quote for the same volume.
Our team covers logo and brand identity, print and packaging, social and ad creative, web and UI/UX, presentation, and illustration. Instead of hiring a different specialist for each discipline, you get all of them under one subscription. See our full range of graphic design services.
