The 12 leading AEO agencies charge clients $6,000–$20,000 per month. Most use Profound or HubSpot AEO internally and bill the tool cost back at 3–10× markup. That works. It also leaves money on the table.

That's not aggressive pricing. It's correct pricing for a market where the underlying APIs cost cents per call.
Agency API: $149/mo ($111.75/mo billed yearly). 50 fresh + 20,000 cached + 300 rpm per month. Multi-tenant by design — POST /v1/domains enrols each sub-client; each client report streams to your webhook with HMAC.
Daily LLM cost cap per agency: $5.00 (Agency) / $15.00 (Pro Agency) — predictable bills, no surprise overages.
POST /domain/{id}/share mints a tokenized read-only URL — show a prospect their AEO
snapshot before you sell them, without provisioning a seat. Tokens expire on demand.
POST /v1/domains enrols each sub-client under your agency key. Postgres RLS isolates rows by
agency, so cross-client leakage is enforced at the database layer — not the application layer.
