Pricing is one of the hardest things to figure out as a freelancer. Do you go high in the hope that people will associate a high cost with high quality? Pitch yourself low so you don't put people off? Or aim for the middle ground, and end up wishing you'd asked for more? 

Having an idea of what others are charging can be a great help. Foylo asked 209 freelance graphic designers how much they would charge to create a logo, website or app. Although it's a small sample group, it does offer up some interesting results.
