Pricing for cataloguing desks

Rates below describe cataloguing time. This website does not take payment, does not open a checkout, and does not sell subscriptions. If you want a desk, telephone or email the studio. Invoices, when used, are arranged off-site after the scope is agreed.

Starting figures

Issue card cataloguing — from £85 for a short run of up to twelve issue cards in one series, including a standard-cover row and a first variant row where those files exist.

Variant and cover-type indexing — from £120 when a single issue number has three or more distinct cover treatments that need separate rows.

Drop and reprint timeline notes — from £70 for a timeline covering one series across a three-month drop window, using dates you supply.

Desktop catalog hygiene — from £95 for a sample folder of up to eighty files, with a changelog of renames and merges.

Hourly add-on cataloguing is £48 per hour when a run is larger than the starting band. We say so before extra hours begin.

What moves a quote

Cover density matters more than page count. A twelve-issue run with one cover each is lighter than four issues with six treatments apiece. Unreadable screenshots add time because we cannot label a foil overlay we cannot see. Mixed-language listing titles need extra checking against the art.

We do not price “per token” and we do not take a percentage of any later sale. Cataloguing is record-keeping. Utility Flow Core is solely a local data tracking utility and analytical software in the sense that any optional tracker file we describe stays on your computer and does not handle funds.

What you receive

You receive a catalog table or card set as a document you keep. We do not retain a live copy of your collection after the agreed files are sent back. There is nothing to “unlock” on this website.
