What is Aqyl Sovereignty Margin Curve?
“Self-hosted Aqyl → flat $299/mo → margin grows with client MAU”
Aqyl's Growth plan costs $299/month for up to 100,000 MAU with no per-user fees, so agency margin widens as each client's user base grows instead of shrinking. An agency deploying Aqyl for a fintech client with 40,000 monthly active users pays the same $299 as one serving 8,000, which means the retainer can be priced on delivered value rather than headcount. The curve bends the other way on delivery: self-hosted deployment on AWS, GCP, or Azure puts uptime, scaling, and moderation responsibility on the agency, so the first 20 hours of setup and ongoing 4 hours/month of maintenance are real costs that must sit inside the retainer. Agencies that model both lines before quoting avoid the trap of selling flat-rate infrastructure as if it were free infrastructure.
