Animam Margin Threshold

Animam's Agency plan at 199 €/mo includes 10 bots, but each feature add-on (meetings 9 €/mo, quotes 9 €/mo, payments 19 €/mo) stacks onto the per-bot cost. For an agency reselling Animam, the margin threshold is the point where add-on fees erode the client retainer. Example: a client pays 350 $/mo for a chat agent with meetings and quotes enabled. Vendor cost: 199 €/10 bots ≈ 19.90 €/bot + 9 € + 9 € = 37.90 €/mo. That leaves a healthy margin, but if the client needs payments too, cost jumps to 56.90 €/mo. The framework: calculate the per-bot cost (Agency plan divided by 10) plus every add-on the client uses, then set your retainer so the margin stays above 70%. Agencies with 5+ retainer clients can absorb the 199 € base, but smaller shops should start with Starter or Builder plans to avoid subsidizing unused capacity.
