Below, you’ll find general pricing ranges along with the variables that can impact the final quote for your event.

Why We Provide Price Ranges Instead of Fixed Rates

At first glance, clients often ask for an exact price per hour for CART services. However, until we have detailed information about your event, we provide general ranges to give you a clearer idea of what to expect.

  • Subject Matter: Technical or specialized topics may require a more experienced captioner.
  • Location: Onsite services can differ significantly in price based on geography.
  • Certification and Requirements: Certain events require certified captioners, which can influence rates.
  • Lead Time: Last-minute bookings may come with a premium due to scheduling constraints.
  • Additional Services: Tech support, testing sessions, and specialized languages (e.g., Spanish, French) can affect pricing.
