What is Pitch Seat Economics Ladder?

Seat cost climbs $0 → $13 → $19 → $25; margin lives in the gap

Pitch seat tiers against monthly cost per seat and the retainer hours each tier must justify

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.
