$45 to $109 per month for Creatomate subscription, plus setup effort valued at $2,250 per client5-7 days
ROI Logic

With the Essential plan at $45/month, an agency can deliver 200 videos or 2,000 images per client, charging a $2,250 setup fee and a monthly retainer. At scale, the per-render cost drops to under $0.03, enabling high margins while covering subscription costs across multiple clients.

Deliverables
  • 3 branded Creatomate templates for social posts and stories
  • Automated no-code workflow (Zapier or Make) populating templates from client feed
  • Export pipeline delivering ready-to-post assets to client's storage or scheduler
  • Template editing guide and client handoff documentation
  • Monthly retainer proposal with per-render pricing
Definition of Done

Client's social content is generated automatically from their feed, with templates and automation documented and handed off, and the first month's renders delivered within plan limits.
