About DesignContest
DesignContest is a productized design service operating out of USA, in business since 2003. A productized design contest platform — logos, web, packaging, print, all flat-fee.

What DesignContest offers
DesignContest packages design work into a defined offer with a published price tier. Design subscriptions productize creative work into a flat monthly fee, an async queue, and a dedicated designer or team. They replace agency proposals and hourly rates with a Stripe link, a dashboard, and a 24–48 hour turnaround SLA.
Who DesignContest is for
DesignContest is a fit for founders, marketing leaders, and agencies who need design output without hiring a full-time team. Typical customers are seed-to-Series-B SaaS companies, DTC brands, and bootstrapped operators who want a predictable creative pipeline.
DesignContest pricing
DesignContest publishes its pricing transparently — currently From $199. Productized services like this one rely on transparent pricing as a customer-acquisition lever; it lowers friction in evaluation, removes proposal cycles, and lets buyers self-serve a meaningful chunk of the sales process.
