How much does social media management cost in Dubai?

What social media management costs a small business in Dubai, what should be included in a package and how to compare an agency with a hire.

Nomo Creative · Updated

Short answer

Social media management in Dubai is priced in very different ways, from per post freelancers to agency retainers with setup fees and long minimum terms, so compare what is included rather than the headline price. Our plan costs AED 2,899 a month with no setup fee and no minimum term for a post every weekday on Instagram and LinkedIn, each with a Reel. One person's own accounts cost AED 999.

“How much does it cost?” is the first question every owner asks and the hardest to compare, because two quotes for “social media management” can describe completely different work.

What drives the price

Questions to ask every provider

  1. How many posts a week, on which platforms, in which formats?
  2. Who writes them and how do they learn our voice?
  3. Do we see every post before it goes out? What happens if we are busy?
  4. What do we get each month besides the posts?
  5. Is there a setup fee or a minimum term?
  6. What costs extra?

What we charge

AED 2,899 a month with no setup fee and no minimum term. For that a business gets a post every weekday on its own Instagram and LinkedIn, each with a Reel, written and designed in its own look. Every post reaches you by email before it goes out. You can change it or stop it. If you do nothing it goes out. Each month we put your buyers’ questions to ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude and save the answers with the date. Where you were not named, we write a post that answers the question. A report arrives on the 1st. One person’s own accounts cost AED 999 on the Personal plan. Extras such as paid ads or a shoot day are on our add-ons page.

Weighing it

Compare the monthly cost with what you already pay in other ways: the evenings an owner spends on posts and the cost of a hire with a salary and a visa. Then add the cost of a feed that goes quiet for months while buyers check you. Then compare with what one client is worth to you.

Trying before committing

Ask to see your first posts before paying a full month. Our monthly plan starts with five days free: you see your look and your first posts in your dashboard. Nothing is published or charged in those five days.

FAQ

Why do social media quotes in Dubai vary so much?

They describe different work. One quote may cover a few designed posts a month on one platform. Another may include writing in your voice, Reels, two platforms, approvals and reporting. Line them up item by item.

Is there a setup fee with Nomo Creative?
