Pricing a platform that keeps six clients apart

Your invoice from United States Marketing is a lifetime tier, not a monthly seat count. The tiers are published on softwareprogrammer.app as Three-channel lifetime, All-channel lifetime and Agency lifetime, and the divider between them is how many channels you connect. For a six-client book of work, that means the price question becomes a channel question rather than a headcount question.

Look at what the tier replaces before you judge the figure. Campaigns, the inbox and the CRM sit in one workspace, so the money you would otherwise spread across a sending tool, a shared inbox and a contact list goes to one line. Booking and automation are part of the same place, which removes another subscription from the list you carry.

Two costs sit outside the tier and belong in your own workings. Each channel needs your own provider account behind it, and those accounts carry their own terms and charges. AI credits are charged separately from the tier as you use them. Put both beside the tier figure so the comparison you show a client is honest about the whole picture.

Each tier is sized by how many channels you connect, so read the names as a channel count rather than a feature ladder. Three-channel lifetime suits an agency sending on a narrow set, all-channel lifetime opens the full range of email, chat, social and SMS, and Agency lifetime is the tier built for a book of client work rather than a single sender.

On a normal day the workspace holds the campaigns you run, the inbox where replies land and the CRM record of each lead. Because client sending stays separate, a reply from one client's prospect does not sit in the same stream as another's. Booking and automation run inside the same place, so an appointment booked from a campaign is traceable back to the lead that produced it.

Where the tiers divide for you is the point at which a new client needs a channel you have not connected. That is the moment to check whether your current tier still fits, rather than buying the widest tier on day one. Read the published tier list on softwareprogrammer.app and match it to the channels your six or seven clients genuinely use.

The objection you raised is that one shared inbox mixes clients together, and it decides whether the rest of the page matters. Separation is the thing to test before you commit, because an agency's reputation rests on never sending as the wrong client. Ask how client sending is kept apart inside the workspace and see it demonstrated on your own setup.

Traceability is the second half of that doubt. You need to show a client where a lead came from, which campaign touched it and which channel carried the reply. Because campaigns, the inbox and the CRM share one workspace, the path from first touch to booked appointment stays in one record rather than being rebuilt from exports at month end.

None of this removes the provider side of the work. Your own accounts with each network remain yours to hold and maintain, and each network applies its own sending rules. A tier that lists a channel does not by itself mean that provider will approve your sending. Treat the tier as the workspace and the provider accounts as your own responsibility.

Set the tiers against your actual channel list rather than against a feature count. Write down every channel your six or seven clients send on, then see which tier covers that list. If the list is narrow, the three-channel tier is the fair comparison. If clients keep adding channels, the all-channel tier is the one to price against your current stack.

Then compare like with like on the workspace itself. A separate sending tool, a separate inbox and a separate contact list each carry their own renewal, and each one adds a place where a client's data can drift. United States Marketing puts those three in one place with booking and automation alongside them, so the comparison is fewer renewals against one lifetime tier.

Finish by costing the parts the tier does not include. Provider accounts for each channel and AI credits charged separately belong in the same table, or the comparison flatters the platform. Once those lines are visible, choose the smallest tier that covers your channel list and revisit it when a client's needs change rather than paying for headroom you cannot yet use.
