AiSensy Retainer Fit Matrix

The AiSensy Retainer Fit Matrix helps agencies decide which clients justify a monthly managed-service retainer versus a one-off setup fee. The framework scores clients on two axes: message volume and AI-agent complexity. E-commerce, real estate, education, and coaching verticals typically generate high inbound WhatsApp traffic, making the ₹2,500/mo Chatbot Builder or ₹3,500/mo AI Agent plan cost-effective to resell. A local salon with sporadic inquiries may only need the $1,800 Starter Launch, a 16-hour setup with no recurring revenue. Agencies should map each prospect's expected monthly conversations against the per-message costs and AI message allowances (3,500 included in the AI plan). If projected volume justifies a retainer that covers platform fees plus agency margin, pursue a managed engagement; otherwise, position a fixed-fee launch. This prevents agencies from underpricing delivery work on low-volume clients.
