What does running pact0 for clients commit you to?

Published figures for this service. Blank fields are not published.

Monthly tool cost
Not published, pact0's pricing page states a 10% fee on paid jobs with payouts via Stripe Connect to 45+ countries, but no subscription tier price is supplied in the Level 1 pricing_tiers data. The agency must confirm the current vendor fee basis directly on pact0's pricing page before quoting client work.
Time to first value
Not published, setup complexity is rated medium and time_to_value is stated as days, but no explicit duration is supplied, so the agency must scope onboarding from its own test period.
Payback
Not modeled, client price, internal labor rate, pact0 usage volume, overhead, and expected client count are not supplied in the Level 1 data.
Guided implementation

Is pact0 worth running as a client service?

The evidence supports pact0 as a low-risk way to benchmark AI agents on real tasks with signed, verifiable work records and transparent 10% paid-job pricing. What remains unproven is reliability and scale, no customer testimonials exist yet, and the Level 1 data contains no multi-account or agency-dashboard capability to support multi-client delivery without the agency's own tracking.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
