Compare cost per responsibility, not cost per post
A package that creates graphics, edits video, writes captions, plans the calendar and publishes across three platforms is taking on more responsibility than a scheduler-only service. Break the monthly fee down by what the agency actually owns.
Kydos publishes a clear entry point
The current Kydos Starter plan is £165/month. It includes Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, three posts per week, professional graphic design and video editing, content calendar and strategy, plus stories two to three times per week.
That does not mean every business should choose Starter. It means a buyer can see the entry-level scope before deciding whether a larger package is necessary.
Check what is excluded from the advertised price
Ask whether photography, on-site filming, community management, influencer fees, paid-ad spend, ad-management fees, extra platforms and rush content are separate. Hidden assumptions are what make a cheap monthly package feel expensive later.

Do not confuse ad spend with management fees
If the package includes paid social, confirm whether the fee is only for campaign management or also includes media budget. Kydos treats advertising spend as separate from agency management.
Decide whether you need content or a full acquisition system
If your problem is inconsistent posting, a lower-cost organic package may be enough. If you need ads, landing pages, CRM, lead automation and nurture, compare a wider growth scope instead of forcing those needs into a basic content plan.
Use price transparency as a trust signal, not the only selection factor
Published pricing helps buyers decide whether an agency is within budget. After that, compare quality, workflow, communication, strategy and the actual examples or proof available.
Compare Kydos before you make the final decision
Kydos publishes a £165/month Starter plan, so you can compare a real package rather than requesting a sales call just to learn the starting point.

What is the starting price for Kydos social media management?
The current published Starter plan begins at £165 per month.
What is included at £165 per month?
Instagram, Facebook and TikTok management, three posts per week, professional graphic design and video editing, content calendar and strategy, plus stories two to three times per week.
Is paid advertising included in every social package?
No. Paid-media management appears in higher Kydos packages and ad spend is separate.
Should social media pricing be based on number of posts?
Posting volume is one factor, but strategy, design, video, approvals, community work, reporting and platform count also affect the workload.
Are photoshoots included?

Can I compare Kydos with another Manchester agency?
Yes. Use the published Kydos deliverables as a line-by-line benchmark against other monthly proposals.
