Who sets adoption prices

Providers set adoption prices individually, weighing their own costs against how much work they have. When demand is high the number rises; when it is low there is more room to negotiate.

What moves the price of adoption

adoption is priced job by job rather than off a fixed menu. That is why the same request can attract quotes near $605 and others near $2,116: the providers are pricing different assumptions about scope and risk.

How to compare quotes for adoption

Line the adoption quotes up side by side and ask what changes the price after acceptance. That one question exposes most of the gap between the $605 low end and the $2,116 high end.

Timing your adoption

Plan adoption around demand, not just around your own calendar. Whoever has capacity when you call has more reason to price competitively.
