AppInstitute Reseller Margin Model
The AppInstitute Reseller Margin Model helps agencies calculate the profit spread between the platform's white-label cost and the price charged to clients. AppInstitute's three pricing tiers, Instant ($62.03/mo), App Stores ($125.32/mo), and App Stores Premium ($188.61/mo), set the floor for delivery cost. An agency reselling these as a managed service can bundle setup, ongoing maintenance, and push notification campaigns into a flat monthly retainer, such as the $460/mo Local PWA Starter offer. The margin is the difference between the client fee and the AppInstitute subscription, minus any labor overhead. For example, at the App Stores tier, the platform cost is $125.32/mo; charging $460/mo yields a gross margin of $334.68/mo per client. This model forces agencies to choose a tier that aligns with client needs while maximizing margin, and to avoid the Premium tier unless the client explicitly needs advanced features like unlimited resubmissions.
