Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Shopify agency cost per month?

Shopify agencies charge $3,000–$20,000/month. Full-service DTC agencies are typically $8,000–$15,000/month — a 2–3x markup on the specialists' actual cost. EverestX places pre-vetted specialists directly at $1,700–$2,100/month full-time, removing the agency layer.

What does a Shopify agency actually do?

A Shopify agency provides strategy, execution, and account management across paid media, email, SEO, creative, or full-stack DTC growth. They are the single point of accountability — at a cost of 2–3x what direct hiring would require.

When is a Shopify agency the right choice vs EverestX?

Agencies are right when you need a single point of accountability and cannot manage specialists directly. EverestX is better when you know what you need, want direct relationships, and want to save $3,000–$10,000/month in agency margin.

How do I build a full DTC marketing team with EverestX?

Start with the highest-leverage role for your stage — usually paid media. Then add email marketing, SEO, creative, and CRO sequentially. EverestX can match you with one specialist or a full team depending on budget and needs.

What is the difference between a Shopify agency and EverestX?

An agency charges $8,000–$15,000/month for work costing $3,000–$6,000 in specialist wages. EverestX connects you directly with pre-vetted specialists at $1,700–$2,100/month — you manage the relationship, keep the margin, and get direct visibility into the work.
