AIRUNCODE BYOK Margin Threshold
AIRUNCODE's local-first runtime with bring-your-own-key (BYOK) pricing lets agencies resell agent-powered code work without cloud markup, but the margin depends on who pays the token bill. The BYOK Margin Threshold framework maps client readiness to pay provider costs directly against the agency's service fee. For a retainer client, if the agency absorbs API costs, the $15 Pro plan's unlimited BYOK and multi-agent swarm still leave token spend variable, so the threshold is crossed only when the client supplies keys or accepts a usage-based pass-through. A productized offer like the $2,250 Starter Agent Build works when the client already has OpenAI or Anthropic keys and infrastructure. Agencies targeting local businesses without technical setup should skip AIRUNCODE, as the client must manage keys and hardware, pushing the threshold out of reach.
