Guides with more detail
How we compiled these ranges
We read published price guides, clinic price lists, comparison sites and official fee schedules, cross-checked each figure against at least two sources wherever they exist, and show the range they agree on. Where only one source exists we say so on the line. The ranges come from 155 sources across the whole price checker, last fully checked 14 October 2026, with additions checked on 20 October 2026. We do not use paid placements, and no listed business influences the numbers. Treat every figure as a starting point for a conversation, never as an offer, and confirm the current price and what is included before you book. Nothing here is medical, legal, tax or financial advice. Spot a price that looks out of date? Email hello@barcelonaenglishpros.com.
