What is Pitch Seat Economics Ladder?
“Seat cost climbs $0 → $13 → $19 → $25; margin lives in the gap”
Pitch prices per seat, so agency margin is decided before the deck is built. Free carries 100 AI credits and caps at 5 members; Plus at $13/mo per seat buys 500 AI credits monthly, custom fonts, video uploads, PowerPoint exports, 5 external guests and 10GB per member; Team at $19/mo per seat and Business at $25/mo per seat add the collaboration and analytics depth that retainer work needs. The ladder matters because a 4-person delivery pod on Business costs $100/mo before any billable hour. Run the math against the Pitch Starter Deck Build at $1,800 for 16h of setup: one build covers roughly 18 months of a Business seat. Agencies should therefore place client-facing seats on the client's own subscription and keep internal seats on Plus, reserving Team or Business for pods running bulk personalized decks through HubSpot. The framework: match seat tier to who touches the deck, not to how impressive the deck looks.
