How much does a community manager cost in Switzerland?

"How much does it cost to have someone manage my social media?" It is one of the first questions businesses ask us. The honest answer: it depends. But vague ranges do not help you decide, so here are concrete figures for French-speaking Switzerland. ## Freelance, agency or studio A beginner freelancer may charge CHF 40 to 70 per hour, but availability and consistency vary. A large agency bills more, often CHF 1,500 to 4,000+ per month, with several people involved and more structure. A studio like ours sits in between: a single, involved point of contact and packages built for local businesses. ## What you actually pay for The price reflects strategy, content creation (visuals and video), publishing, community management and reporting. The biggest cost driver is video: producing Reels takes far more time than a static post, which is why plans with more video cost more. ## Realistic monthly ranges For a small local business, a serious presence usually starts around CHF 700 per month and rises with the volume of content and video. What matters is not the lowest price but the return: visibility, enquiries and clients. ## Our approach We publish our social media packages openly, from a starter plan to a video-first plan, each with a Meta ad budget included. Have a look at the social media service page, and if in doubt, we offer a free audit of your accounts with no commitment.
