AppMachine White-Label Margin Model

AppMachine's Agency plan at $159/mo caps resellers at 5 apps, making per-app cost $31.80. A typical productized offer like the Starter App Launch at $360/mo yields a gross margin of $328.20 per client after platform cost. The framework maps three tiers: (1) Break-even at 1 client, (2) Profit scaling at 2-5 clients, and (3) Capacity ceiling at 5 apps requiring a second Agency plan. Agencies serving event organizers or local businesses can use this model to set retainer pricing that covers the platform fee and leaves room for support hours. The key insight: AppMachine's fixed cost and app cap mean agencies must either raise per-client pricing or add value via push notification management and data updates to justify the retainer. Without this margin awareness, agencies risk selling apps that consume more support time than the retainer covers.
