₹3,999 including GST for a whole year of posts: what a yearly social media package should include
Yearly social media package price explained: what a fair annual plan in India should include, the hidden costs to check, and what ₹3,999 including GST buys.
A property consultant in Bengaluru asks three people for a quote on a year of social media. The first, a small agency, sends a neat PDF with a monthly fee and a list of "deliverables" that runs to two pages. The second, a freelancer, quotes per post and says festival posts are extra. The third is an app that costs very little but expects the consultant to design every post herself. Three quotes, three ways of counting, and no easy way to compare them.
That confusion is normal. The yearly social media package price you are quoted means nothing until you know exactly what is inside it. This guide gives you a simple way to compare packages, the hidden costs that turn a cheap quote into an expensive year, and a clear look at what Content365 includes for ₹3,999 including GST.
Why the yearly social media package price is so hard to compare
Search for a social media package India agencies and freelancers offer, and you will see that most quotes are built in one of four ways:
- A monthly retainer. You pay every month, and the agency delivers a set number of posts. Often several thousand rupees a month or more, depending on the city and the agency.
- Per post. A freelancer charges for each design. Cheap for a few posts, expensive for a daily habit.
- A tool subscription. You get templates and editing software. The price is low, but the work is yours.
- A one-time yearly package. You pay once for a fixed number of posts covering the year.
Each one hides costs in a different place. A retainer looks predictable but adds up over twelve months. A per-post rate looks small until you multiply it by 365. A tool looks cheap until you count the hours you spend designing at night. So before you compare any annual social media plan price, convert every quote into the same thing: finished posts for a full year, and the time you still have to put in.
What a fair social media package in India should include
Here is a checklist you can send to anyone who quotes you. A good social media package in India should answer every line clearly.
| What to ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How many posts, exactly, across the year? | "Daily" sometimes means weekdays only, or excludes festivals |
| Are festival posts included, on the right days? | Festival posts are often charged extra or delivered late |
| Do posts carry my real logo, name and contact details? | Some tools redraw or distort logos |
| What size are the images, and do they work on every platform? | A post cropped badly on one platform looks careless |
| Are captions included? For which platforms and languages? | Writing captions every day is half the work |
| How many revisions, and what happens to a bad post? | Unlimited revisions often mean slow delivery |
| Is anything made up, like ratings or awards? | Invented claims can hurt trust and invite trouble |
| Who posts, and who controls my account? | Handing over passwords is a real risk |
| What do I keep if I stop paying? | Some providers hold on to your files when you leave |
| Is GST included in the price? | A quote without GST can be noticeably higher once it is added |
If a quote cannot answer most of these, keep asking. The best packages are boring to read because everything is spelled out.
The sample above is a design for a made-up real estate advisory. Its headline, Ask the questions that matter, is good advice when buying a social media package too: keep asking until everything is spelled out.
Cheap social media posts versus good value
Cheap social media posts are easy to find. The question is what they cost you later. Watch for these traps:
- Stock photos everyone uses. Your competitor's page has the same picture of a smiling couple holding keys.
- Template sameness. Fifty posts that look like one post, so customers stop noticing.
- Spelling mistakes in your own name or phone number. One wrong digit in a phone number costs you calls.
- Garbled text inside images. Some generators put fake letters into the background.
- Missed festivals. The Diwali post arrives after Diwali.
- Your time. If you still spend an hour a day fixing or designing, the package was not cheap.
Good value is not the lowest number. It is the most finished posts, of a quality you are proud of, for the least money and the least of your own time.
The value of daily posts, worked out per day
It helps to break any yearly price into a daily cost. Take the total for the year, including GST, and divide by the number of finished posts you actually get.
For Content365, that sum is easy: ₹3,999 including GST for 365 posts comes to roughly ₹11 a day. For any other quote, do the same sum and add a fair value for your own time if you still have to design, write captions or fix mistakes.
The value of daily posts is not that every single post will bring a customer. It is that your page never looks abandoned. A buyer checking a builder's page in March sees recent posts and thinks the business is active. A page that last posted at Diwali tells a different story. Steady, everyday posting is what makes the occasional big post, a new launch or a site visit day, land on a page people already trust.

Hidden costs to check before you sign
Even a clear quote can grow. Ask about these before you pay:
- Extra brands. If you run two businesses, is the second one a full new price, a discount, or not possible?
- Hosting and storage. Are your posts kept online? For how long? What does renewal cost?
- Language. Are Hindi or regional captions extra?
- Rush fees. Is there a charge for a last-minute festival post?
- Lock-in. Is there a minimum term, or a cancellation fee?
- Ownership. Can you download and keep everything, or only view it on their platform?
Write the answers down next to the price. Our post on social media agency cost in India explains what agency retainers usually cover. The yearly social media package price that looked highest is sometimes the lowest once these are counted.
What Content365 includes for ₹3,999 including GST
Here is exactly what the Content365 yearly plan includes, with nothing extra hidden.
- 365 posts, one for every day of the year, for one brand. Every extra brand is the same ₹3,999 including GST. It is one payment, not per month.
- Each post is one 1080 x 1350 (4:5) image with a square-safe centre, ready for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X and WhatsApp.
- Captions for every day, written for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and X, plus Hindi.
- Your real branding. An image model paints a scene with no text in it; the studio's compositor then places your real logo, business name, phone, website and call to action on top, from the exact text you gave. The logo is never redrawn by the model.
- Festivals and the financial year planned into the calendar on the days they fall.
- Variety: 365 angles across 5 lenses, which makes 1,825 concepts, grouped into 21 angle families and mixed across the year. Near-duplicate pictures are rejected.
- Quality checks: every picture is checked by a vision model for stray text and problems, with up to 3 tries per day. A day that never passes still arrives, with a visible warning.
- No made-up claims: ratings, testimonials, awards, guarantees and statistics appear only when you confirmed them.
- One download folder with all pictures, captions.csv, prompts.csv, calendar.csv, and a gallery that opens on any phone.
- Hosting for 90 days from payment, then ₹3,000 a year (before GST) to keep it hosted, or you simply keep the downloaded folder.
What it does not include matters too. We do not post on your pages, schedule posts, run ads or manage your accounts. You review every day in your own gallery first, and you or your team post them. That means you never hand over a password.
All of this is on the pricing page, and how it works shows the steps from sign-up to download.
