Hourly vs. Packages: How to Price Your Enneagram Coaching Services
Pricing your Enneagram services can feel like one of the hardest decisions to make as a coach or practitioner. You want to serve well. You want to make your work accessible. But you also need your business to be sustainable—and that means getting paid in a way that reflects your time, energy, and expertise.
If you’re wondering how to price your Enneagram coaching, one of the biggest questions you’ll face is this:
Should you charge hourly or package your services?
This post will walk you through the pros and cons of each pricing model and help you figure out which one fits your goals, your clients, and the kind of work you want to do.
Understanding the Two Pricing Models
Before we dive into which model is “better,” let’s define what we’re talking about:
Hourly Pricing
You set a rate (e.g., $100/hour) and clients pay based on the time they spend with you. This is often used for one-off sessions, strategy calls, or as-you-go coaching.
✅ Pros:
Simple to set up
No need to define a full process—just show up and deliver.Flexible
Clients can book what they need, when they need it.Familiar to buyers
People often understand hourly rates, especially for consulting.
❌ Cons:
Limits your income to your time
If you don’t work, you don’t earn.Focuses on time, not value
Clients may measure the session’s “worth” in minutes instead of results.Harder to build commitment
It’s easy for clients to dip in and out instead of going deep.
Packaged Services
Instead of selling time, you sell a container of value. This could be a 4-session coaching journey, a typing interview + integration session combo, or a 3-month growth package. Pricing is based on the outcome or transformation, not just the minutes on the clock.
✅ Pros:
Communicates transformation
You’re selling an outcome, not a time slot.Builds trust and commitment
Clients are more likely to stay engaged and do the inner work.Creates predictable income
You know what’s coming in, and can plan your capacity accordingly.
❌ Cons:
More upfront planning
You’ll need to clearly define what’s included and why.May feel harder to sell
Especially if you’re new and still refining your niche or messaging.
What to Consider When Choosing
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how to price Enneagram coaching. The best model for you depends on a few key things:
Where you are in your business.
Newer coaches often start hourly, while more seasoned pros create packages that reflect their full process.The nature of your offer.
A standalone typing session might work hourly. But a 6-week growth journey? That’s better suited to a package.Your ideal client.
Are they dipping their toes into self-awareness or ready for deep transformation?Your capacity and boundaries.
Do you want to fill your calendar with sessions—or build in white space while earning more per client?
You Don’t Have to Pick Just One
Here’s the truth: many Enneagram professionals use both models—and you can too.
For example:
Offer hourly sessions for intro calls or stand-alone typing interviews.
Create packages for deeper work, like coaching through a specific life theme or subtype journey.
Think of it less like “either/or” and more like “what’s the right fit for this offer?”
You can always start with one and shift over time as your business grows and your confidence expands.
Final Thoughts
Pricing is personal. And when you’re doing deep, transformational work like Enneagram coaching, it’s also relational. Your price communicates your value, your boundaries, and the kind of experience you’re inviting someone into.
Whether you charge hourly or package your services, the most important thing is that you choose a model that feels sustainable, aligned, and clear—for both you and your clients.
And remember: you can always adjust. Your pricing is allowed to evolve as you do.
