PHQ Package Comparison
Standard Session vs. All-Inclusive: Which PHQ Package Is Right for You?
PHQ offers two primary production paths: Standard Recording (you get the raw files and handle editing) and All-Inclusive (PHQ handles everything, including editing, social clips, and delivery). Here's how to choose.
Quick Answer
Choose Standard if you have an in-house editor or want control over the post-production process. Choose All-Inclusive if you want to show up, record, and receive fully finished, publishable content without managing editing, clips, or delivery on your end. Most clients who are serious about consistent publishing choose All-Inclusive — it removes the single biggest bottleneck in content production.

Who Each Option Is Best For
Standard Recording
✓ Best for
- Creators with an in-house video editor or established editing relationship
- Media companies or agencies who require specific editing standards
- Clients who prefer full creative control over the post-production process
- Clients who want the lower session price and edit on their own schedule
✗ Not ideal if
- Clients who don't have a reliable editing resource — raw files without editing sit on hard drives unpublished
- Anyone whose post-production has been the primary reason for inconsistent publishing
All-Inclusive Production
✓ Best for
- Busy business owners and executives who can't manage post-production as a regular task
- Creators who have previously struggled with the editing bottleneck
- Anyone whose content publishing has been inconsistent due to delayed editing
- Teams who want everything handled and delivered — show up, record, receive finished content
✗ Not ideal if
- Teams with strong in-house editing capability who prefer creative control over the final cut
- Clients on the tightest possible budget who can handle editing themselves
Three Questions to Pick Your Package
Do you have a reliable editor? If yes, Standard might be right — you'll save on session price and maintain full control. If no, All-Inclusive removes this dependency entirely.
What's your biggest bottleneck? If it's recording quality, Standard fixes that. If it's getting episodes out the door consistently, All-Inclusive is the answer.
What does your time cost? For executives and business owners, the hours saved on editing, clip creation, and delivery often make All-Inclusive the more cost-effective option when you factor in time value.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Choosing Standard to save money, then having raw files sit unedited for weeks. Unpublished content earns zero ROI.
Choosing All-Inclusive without providing PHQ with editing style preferences. Spend 10 minutes on a style brief up front and the output will match your brand immediately.
Thinking All-Inclusive is only for big budgets. At $400 vs $240, the $160 difference per session is small compared to the consistency and time savings for most clients.
