How much does motion design cost for a SaaS company in 2026?

A 60–90 second SaaS explainer video from a quality agency runs $3,000–$10,000 in 2026. Shorter motion ads cost $500–$2,000 each. Monthly plans at $2,999 (Startup) or $5,499 (Scale-ups) bundle motion output with full design capacity at a significantly lower per-asset cost.

How long does it take to produce a 60-second motion design video?

A 60-second motion piece typically ships in three to five weeks: one week for script and storyboard, one to two weeks for design and illustration, one to two weeks for animation and polish. AI-assisted workflows compress timelines to 10–14 days for marketing variants.

What is the difference between motion design and animation?

Motion design applies movement to graphic elements — logos, icons, typography, data visualization, and UI. Animation focuses on storytelling with characters and emotional arcs. Motion design appears in ads and product demos; animation in brand films and long-form video.

Do you make Lottie animations for web and app UIs?

Yes. Deliverables include onboarding illustrations, empty-state animations, loading indicators, and celebration moments. Lottie files stay tiny — usually under 50KB — scale crisply on retina and mobile, and clients receive editable source files.

Can motion design actually improve landing-page conversion rates?

Yes. Product demo loops in hero sections typically boost B2B SaaS conversions 10–25% because they answer 'what does this do?' faster than text alone. Purely decorative motion without functional purpose can hurt performance through distraction.

What tools do you use — After Effects, Rive, Lottie, Cinema 4D?

After Effects for 2D motion and compositing. Rive for interactive UI animations. Lottie JSON for lightweight web and mobile delivery. Cinema 4D for 3D renders. Plus Runway, Veo, and Kling for AI-assisted footage and background generation.

Can you produce motion ads that match our existing brand system?

Yes. We translate your existing brand system into a motion system defining easing curves, timing rhythms, and animation principles. Once that system exists, producing 40 on-brand ad variants takes days — not weeks.

Do you handle voice-over, music, and sound design?

Yes — end-to-end audio including scripted voice-over (human or AI voice), licensed music, custom sound design, and mixing. For performance marketing, we test multiple audio tracks to identify the highest-converting combinations.

How many motion variants can you produce per month on a retainer?

The Startup plan (100 hours) yields approximately one hero piece plus 15–20 motion ad variants monthly. The Scale-ups plan (200 hours) doubles output to 1–2 hero pieces plus 40+ variants using reusable master files remixed into variations.

Static ads vs motion ads — which actually perform better?

Motion ads outperform static on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Reddit by roughly 20–40% on CTR and engagement. Static still wins on display networks, retargeting banners, and some LinkedIn placements where load speed matters most.
