All definitions.

Subscription design is a service model where clients pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited design requests, delivered one at a time with a fixed turnaround (typically 24-48 hours).

Design as a Service (DaaS) is the productized delivery of professional design work via predictable subscription or retainer pricing, instead of project-based or hourly billing.

A fractional design team is a small group of senior designers retained part-time on a recurring monthly basis, providing the output and continuity of an in-house team without the full-time hiring cost.

A design retainer is a monthly recurring contract that pre-pays for a defined block of designer hours or output capacity, in exchange for guaranteed availability and discounted hourly rates compared to ad-hoc project work.

White-label design is a service model where a design studio produces work that is delivered to the end client under another company's brand — typically a marketing or digital agency that lacks in-house design capacity.
