White-label rights, tiers and the licence question

Three decisions sit in front of you before any money moves. The first is which lifetime tier you buy, the second is whether your licence lets clients touch the output, and the third is how you wrap the drafts in your own process. Take them in that order and the purchase stays simple.

The budget itself is a one-time line rather than a subscription you carry across every seat. What you are paying for is the working machinery behind your brand: action plans, document drafts, deadline and evidence checklists, and escalation routes mapped out for each matter type you sell into.

The tiers published on softwareprogrammer.app split by usage or by bringing your own key, so the decision is really about volume and control rather than features you might never touch. Read each tier against the work you actually resell, not against a feature count that sounds fuller on paper.

Personal lifetime suits a partner who runs a narrow book and wants the drafting engine in their own name before scaling anything. You get the plan and draft output, the checklists and the escalation mapping, and you keep the client relationship while the tool does the preparation behind it.

Professional lifetime fits a reseller carrying a steady flow of matters across several clients, where the volume of plans and drafts is the reason you bought in. It is the tier you reach for when the working file, not the experiment, is what you sell.

BYO key lifetime is for the partner who already holds their own model access and wants the document logic layered on top of it. You keep control of that key, and the tier reflects a different arrangement rather than a smaller version of the others.

Licences that forbid client use are the objection worth taking seriously, and it is the right thing to raise before you pay anything. Ask directly, in writing, whether your tier lets you deliver drafted output to clients under your own brand. If the answer is unclear, treat it as a no until someone puts it in writing.

What the product does is preparation work: it builds the plan, drafts the document, lists the deadlines and evidence, and maps where a matter escalates. None of that requires the licence to make the reseller a law firm, and that distinction is what keeps the arrangement workable.

Get the permission on paper alongside the tier confirmation, because a reseller selling under their own name cannot afford an ambiguity discovered at the first client delivery. The tool supplies the drafts; your licence and your process decide how they reach the client.

Choosing between the tiers comes down to how your book is shaped, not to how many boxes a higher tier appears to tick. If you run a handful of matters under your own name, the personal option carries you. If volume rises and clients come to expect the output as part of your service, the professional option matches that.

Bringing your own key is a different choice again, and it suits the partner who already has model access and wants the document logic on top. None of these is an upgrade in the sense of a bigger feature list; each is a different arrangement of the same working parts.

Take your first client matter through the engine before you commit to a higher tier, so the choice rests on how the drafts come out and how your client receives them. The tier should follow the evidence from that run.
