What is Sponsee Resale Margin Ladder?

Sponsee seat cost → retainer markup → agency gross margin

Seat cost versus retainer markup across 12 creator clients

Sponsee's flat seat pricing sets the floor for any creator management retainer. Starter runs $19/mo with 5 active deals and 20 invoices, Creator $29/mo for unlimited deals and full chase sequences, Pro $39/mo for multi-platform analytics and custom invoice branding. Because Sponsee takes no revenue share and never holds funds, every sponsorship dollar a client earns stays with the client, so the agency's margin comes entirely from the retainer line, not a cut of deals. An agency managing 12 streamer clients on Creator seats pays $348/mo in tool cost; charging each client a $250/mo sponsorship ops retainer yields $2,652/mo net before labor. The ladder breaks when a client sits on Starter with more than 5 live deals, forcing an upgrade mid-quarter and eroding the margin you quoted.
