Kanakku Hosting Split
Agencies reselling Kanakku face a strategic fork: the $4.99/user/month cloud tier or the $69 one-time CodeCanyon purchase. The cloud option minimizes ops overhead, letting you focus on client onboarding and training, but locks you into per-seat costs that compress margins as your client base grows. The self-hosted route demands Docker and PostgreSQL expertise but grants full source code, white-label rights, and unlimited seats for a flat fee, making it attractive for agencies with 5+ client accounts. Consider a hybrid: use cloud for small clients needing quick setup, and self-host for larger retainers where you control infrastructure and can bundle hosting fees. This split lets you price each engagement based on delivery complexity rather than a one-size-fits-all model, protecting profitability across diverse client needs.
