In 2026, the French freelance market rate for a Senior Product Designer with AI expertise ranges from €600 to €1,200 excl. VAT per day (day rate). For a senior profile comparable to Pascal EK Loui (15 years, 50+ SaaS products, enterprise clients, advanced AI expertise), the range climbs to a day rate of €1,000-1,500.
Yet Pascal works exclusively on a fixed-price basis. Here's why:
The reality of day rates in 2026: a Senior AI Product Designer at €1,000/day for 3 days = €3,000. Except that on a day rate, they will often bill 4-5 actual days to get a real result, i.e. €4,000-5,000. The Validation Sprint at a fixed €3,500 delivers the same result, with a firm price and a guaranteed timeline.
The French freelance market in 2026 ranges from €600 to €1,200 excl. VAT per day. The most senior profiles, with strong client credibility and advanced AI expertise (Claude, MCPs, Vibe Coding), reach a day rate of €1,000-1,500. Pascal EK Loui works exclusively on a fixed-price basis, never on a day rate, so the budget is known and scoped before work starts.
A day rate rewards time spent rather than results. A fixed price aligns interests: the faster and better Pascal delivers, the happier the client. A day rate creates budget anxiety for the client and pushes the expert to slow down to bill more. A fixed price removes that ambiguity.
From €3,500 excl. VAT. Firm fixed price. Includes discovery, a working product (Vibe Coding), field user testing, actionable recommendations and handoff-ready specs. Budget known before kickoff, no surprises.
Quoted on a defined scope. Typical budget for 3 months: €30,000 to €60,000 excl. VAT depending on intensity. That is less than an equivalent permanent hire (salary + payroll charges + HR overhead), for broader expertise. First estimate free during the 45-minute strategy call.
