Galxe Quest Campaign Cost: Pricing & Budget Guide

What makes up the cost of a Galxe or Zealy campaign?

The campaign cost consists of work on mechanics, task setup, and management; rewards and platform fees must be accounted for as separate line items. This breakdown helps you understand which tasks you are paying for and what portion of the budget is intended for participants.

For a preliminary estimate, we break down four components:

• Preparation: goal, audience, participant journey, and task completion requirements.
• Setup: texts, step order, links, participation conditions, and user path testing.
• Management: campaign progress monitoring, handling questions, and agreed adjustments.
• External expenses: participant rewards and any fees associated with the chosen platform.

Our work starts from $800 / campaign. This is a starting price for a campaign, not a promise to include any volume of tasks or prize fund. Before confirming the scope, we clarify whether material preparation, manual action verification, localization, and additional reports are needed. Service terms can be compared with community engagement campaigns and quest management.

Request an estimate in this format: team work; platform expenses, if applicable; reward fund; additional work. If a component cannot yet be determined, mark it as requiring verification rather than including it in the price as an assumption.

How to account for Galxe and Zealy fees?

Platform fees are checked separately from the agency management cost: their existence and current terms should be confirmed in the chosen service before launch. This prevents mixing team work payment with expenses set by the platform itself.

When requesting an estimate, specify which platform is planned for launch and whether the project has access to the required features. We verify the terms available at the time of preparation in official sources: Galxe and Zealy. Before payment, check the information in your account and designate who on the team is responsible for the platform payment.

To compare options, it is useful to request the same set of data for each platform:

• which features are needed for the planned mechanics;
• what fees or payment requirements are displayed during setup;
• who pays the expenses and from which wallet or account;
• whether these expenses are included in the agreed estimate or paid separately.

Do not compare platforms only by the "fee" line: the chosen format, task completion rules, and moderation effort also change the total budget. If payment or access rules are unclear, first clarify them with the platform, then approve the estimate. We record confirmed expenses separately from our work and do not substitute an unknown amount with an estimate.

How to plan rewards and avoid overpaying for mechanics?

The reward fund is chosen after the useful action, its verification criteria, and the campaign audience are defined. If you start with the reward and select tasks later, participants may focus on getting the prize rather than engaging with the product.

First, decide which behavior is truly important for the project: product exploration, community participation, or performing a specific action. Then formulate the task so that the participant understands what to do and how completion will be confirmed. For each step, verify that the team can handle questions and determine whether the condition is met.

When planning the fund, consider:

• the form of reward and method of distribution;
• eligibility criteria and application verification;
• the need for separate communication with participants;
• the course of action if completion cannot be verified automatically.

We do not include the fund amount in the starting management price: the project sets it separately, and any expenses for reward distribution are agreed upon before launch. Reward terms must be clear to both participants and the project team. Do not announce the reward until verifying that the project has the necessary resources and can fulfill the stated conditions.

If the main goal is not collecting applications but systematic audience work, compare the quest with community activation. For a broader engagement program, consider community management.

How to choose between Galxe and Zealy for a project?

Choose between Galxe and Zealy based on the required participant journey, task verification method, and your team's ability to manage the campaign. The platform name itself does not determine the appropriateness of the mechanics or the total budget.

Compile a short list of requirements before choosing. Are tasks related to the product or community needed? How will the participant confirm completion? Who answers questions and handles disputes? Does the project have ready materials, links, and accounts necessary for setup? Verify that the required conditions are supported by the current platform interface and are available to your project.

Both platforms can be evaluated using the same logic: first requirements and available features, then setup effort, then the estimate. Do not complicate the scenario for the sake of the number of steps. The clearer the route and completion criteria, the easier it is to explain the campaign and prepare a report.

If you are still comparing formats, start with the quest campaign plan, then request an estimate with the same scope of work for both platforms.

What is included in quest campaign management?

Campaign management includes an agreed set of work from task definition to final summary; the exact scope is fixed before starting. The estimate should describe the result of the team's work so you understand what you get for the starting price.

Depending on the task, the plan may include:

• a brief brief on the goal, audience, and product;
• task structure and clear instructions for participants;
• text preparation and link verification before publication;
• campaign setup on the chosen platform within the agreed scope;
• management according to agreed questions and checks;
• a final summary of completed work and observations.

Before agreement, clarify who provides product descriptions, visual materials, links, and reward terms. Separately agree on who confirms the final texts and makes decisions on participant inquiries. If the project expects additional moderation, material translation, or an expanded report format, it is better to include this in the plan in advance.

The report should link tasks to the campaign goal: list what was launched, what checks were used, and what questions arose during management. Do not limit yourself to the number of registrations or applications if the project needs to understand the quality of interaction. Compare the report with the original brief and pre-agreed criteria.

For related audience work, explore engagement campaigns and community growth. They help choose a format if a single set of tasks is insufficient.

How long does campaign preparation take?

Preparation time depends on the readiness of materials, the complexity of task verification, and the speed of approval from the project side. A practical schedule first closes input data and mechanics, then setup, verification, and only then publication.

At the start, prepare a brief product description, campaign goal, links to necessary resources, texts and visual materials, reward information, and the contact of the responsible person. If tasks require product access or confirmation from the technical team, assign an executor in advance. This reduces the risk of work stoppage due to missing data.

Typically, the sequence looks like this:

• the project provides the brief and materials;
• the team proposes task structure and completion criteria;
• the responsible person from the project side approves the wording and conditions;
• the campaign is set up, then links and the participant path are checked;
• the team manages the launch within the agreed scope and prepares a summary.

The duration of each stage depends on how quickly the project confirms decisions and provides access. Therefore, before estimating the timeline, it is useful to agree on who exactly approves texts and answers technical questions. The list of necessary inputs and stages can be additionally cross-referenced with the how we work section.

If materials are not yet ready, do not set a publication date until tasks and rewards are approved. First, fix the decision owners and missing inputs, then agree on a realistic plan with the team.

What limitations of Galxe and Zealy are important to consider?

Before launch, the platform rules, task verifiability, and what results the campaign should show the team need to be agreed upon. The platforms independently determine feature availability, moderation, display, and campaign review procedures; neither the agency nor the project can promise approval, placement in recommendations, or specific visibility.

To reduce operational risks, check before publication:

• whether the tasks comply with the platform rules and current interface capabilities;
• whether each stated action can be unambiguously confirmed;
• whether the participation and reward distribution conditions are clear to the participant;
• whether there is a person responsible for inquiries, errors, and disputed completions;
• who can modify the campaign and approve such changes.

Keep the final task wording, reward terms, and agreed criteria. If the platform requests changes or rejects a particular element, the team can determine what to adjust without blindly revising the entire plan. When available features change, first check the impact on the scenario, then approve the new version with the project's responsible person.

On our side, the estimate records the work we undertake and the agreed report format. Publication rules and display decisions remain with the platform. For adjacent tasks, such as placement in platform sections, see trending campaigns; this is a separate format that cannot be considered part of a quest without separate agreement.

How it works

1. Define the goalYou describe what the campaign should help the participant learn or do. We use the goal to select appropriate tasks and verification criteria.
2. Gather inputs and check the platformWe clarify materials, access, platform features, and separately account for any possible fees. Unknown expenses are marked for verification before estimate approval.
3. Agree on mechanics and budgetWe fix tasks, procedures, reward terms, management scope, and report format. The confirmed reward fund is accounted for separately from the work cost.
4. Set up and test the campaignWe prepare the agreed scenario on the chosen platform, check texts, links, and the clarity of the participant path before publication.
5. Manage and summarizeWe run the campaign within the agreed scope, collect observations, and deliver a summary of completed work and pre-approved criteria.
