Retriever AI Credit Margin Model

Retriever AI charges per task execution, so agencies must map each client workflow to its credit cost before pricing a retainer. The Starter plan at $9.99 for 1,000 credits suits a pilot, but a single lead enrichment run can consume hundreds of credits, especially on authenticated sites like LinkedIn. The Team plan at $99.99 for 10,000 credits drops the per-credit cost to $0.01, making it the baseline for multi-client operations. An agency offering a $1,800 lead starter package must ensure the 16-hour setup and ongoing credit usage leave at least a 60% margin. Track credits per client weekly, and renegotiate retainers if a workflow's credit burn exceeds 30% of the monthly allocation. This model turns Retriever AI's variable cost into a predictable, profitable line item.
