Why bitHuman's On-Device Model Rewrites Agency Margin on Avatar Retainers

bitHuman pushes avatar inference onto client hardware, so agencies reselling it avoid the per-minute cloud inference costs that erode margin on conversational AI retainers. The Creator plan at $20/month covers 3 cloud sessions, 1,800 credits, and up to 7 avatars, while the Pro tier at $99/month raises that to 10 sessions, 10,000 credits, and 40 avatars, enough to run several client deployments from one seat. The trade-off is real: clients need hardware that can run inference, which narrows the addressable book to buyers who value privacy over turnkey hosting.
