It's a fixed amount of work, it should be the same across the board. Last time I checked designers and programmers charge flat rates based on work involved, they don't require their clients to give them a % or charge them a price based on how big the company is. One smart programmer will listen to me, offer the same product for a flat rate that makes sense for them to set up companies vs being greedy about it, and they will wipe all the others off the map, or at least take the bigger clients away and convince new ones to sign up who wouldn't consider it before, people like me. Maybe i'll develop it if i have the time...

i wish it worked that way too, the equal flat rate. but.... there is much more ongoing service involved (man power) the larger the site is. chat log audits are bigger, more sites to update offers for etc. i'm not saying that the rate is hugely different, just that the more labor intensive it is, the more that will be charged to gain the same net. a guy with one site won't take the hours/manpower to review audits/offers and update as a company such as TopBucks for example. up front programming is of course the same sans the custom scripting for each site.
