Pricing models that work

  • Free + platform revenue share — List for free; platform pays a share of pooled subscription revenue.
  • Subscription — Charge a recurring monthly/annual fee directly or through the platform.
  • Per-action / usage — Charge per task, message, or token consumed.
  • Per-resolution — Charge only when the agent completes a task successfully.
  • Setup + retainer — One-time implementation fee plus monthly managed-service retainer.
  • White-label / OEM — Build once, resell under each client's brand with setup fees.

How to choose a marketplace

  • • Prioritize distribution fit over take rate. 70% of a big audience can beat 100% of none.
  • Enterprise marketplaces (Claude, Salesforce, AWS) have longer sales cycles but higher contract values.
  • No-code marketplaces (Pickaxe, Relevance AI) speed up launch but cap differentiation.
  • Developer/cloud stores (GitHub, AWS, Stripe) are best for agents with technical integrations.
  • • Consider billing ownership: direct billing gives you customer data and higher margins.
