The pitch never changes. Put your logo on an AI agent, sell it to a client as your own product, charge a monthly retainer, keep the difference. Every page ranking for this search will happily tell you what the client pays. Almost none of them tells you what lands on your own card at the end of the month.
That missing half is the entire business. A retainer is revenue. Margin is what survives the platform fee, the model usage and the hours you spend keeping twelve clients' agents alive.
I build on the other side of this trade. Gravity is an AI agent platform where independent builders publish agents and get paid every time one runs, so the cost of a run and what is left over is the number I look at most weeks.
So this post does two jobs. It maps eight platforms agencies actually use to ship agents under their own brand, grouped by what you are really reselling. Then it builds the table the rest of this category skips: what your own bill looks like at 5, 10 and 25 clients, and which line item quietly eats the profit.
One note on prices before you scroll. I quote a dollar figure for exactly one product here, my own, because I can point you at the page it comes from. Plan pages in this category move often enough that a number printed in October 2026 is a liability by the time you read it. Every section links the vendor's plan page instead, and the margin model runs on whatever number you find there.
Eight ways to put your brand on an AI agent
- You would rather sell the outcome than the software: Gravity. Publish the agent once, Gravity runs it and bills for it, and you earn 21.27% of every run, up to 25% at the top tier.
- Your agency already lives in one dashboard: GoHighLevel, where the client sub-account was the unit long before AI showed up.
- White label is the product, not a checkbox on tier three: Stammer.ai.
- Your clients need real engineering underneath: Botpress.
- The client wants to see the flow before it ships: Voiceflow.
- You are selling one narrow tool on your own domain: Pickaxe.
- The pitch is support deflection: Chatbase, which is the fastest thing here to get in front of a client.
- The client's front door is a phone number: Synthflow.
And the part the category leaves out: at ten clients your platform bill is the smallest number on your cost sheet, and your hours are the biggest. The margin tables show both.

How I compared them
Five questions, asked of each platform. They decide your margin more than any feature grid will.
- Who does the work after the sale? You, a contractor on your payroll, or somebody who already built the agent and keeps it running.
- What actually carries your brand? There is a long distance between hiding a vendor logo on a chat widget and running the whole dashboard on your domain, with your name on the login screen and on the emails it sends.
- What is the billing unit? Flat agency plan, per client sub-account, per seat, or metered usage. That one line explains most of the margin surprises in this category.
- Who picks up the phone when a client's agent breaks on a Monday? On most of this list, you do.
- Can you leave? Prompts, flows and client history rarely export cleanly, and a platform switch with twelve live clients will cost you a quarter.
What this comparison is built on: each vendor's own public positioning and documentation for how the product is structured and how it bills. I have not run a bake-off between them, and I have not used all eight with live clients, so you will find no performance claims here. The comparison is structural, because structure is the part that survives a pricing change.
There is a shorter route for the deliverables your clients repeat every month. Describe one client deliverable to Gravity and see whether a published agent already does it. The first agent is free, no card.
Quick comparison
| Tool | What it is | Who does the work | How it bills (Sep 2026) | What carries your brand | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gravity | AI agent platform with a catalogue of published agents | The agent, kept working by the builder who published it | First agent free, then Autopilot $20/mo worldwide, ₹1,999/mo in India; ₹399 Minipilot in India | Your name on the agent you publish, inside Gravity | Builders who would rather earn per run than carry a platform bill |
| GoHighLevel | Agency operating system with CRM, marketing and AI features | You and your team, inside client sub-accounts | Agency Starter $97 a month for 3 sub-accounts, Agency Unlimited $297 a month for unlimited | Your domain and app branding on the reseller tier | Agencies already running client work in one dashboard |
| Stammer.ai | White-label AI agent platform built for resale | You configure, the client uses | Plans sized by how many agents and client accounts you run; voice runs from $0.11 a minute | Your domain, your logo, your pricing to the client | Agencies selling one productised offer to many similar clients |
| Botpress | Developer-grade agent platform with an open builder | Your developer | Usage shaped, tied to conversations and model calls; the free tier covers 25 conversations a month | Whatever you wrap around it; Botpress stays underneath | Agencies with engineering in house |
| Voiceflow | Agent design and deployment built around collaboration | You design, the client reviews | Workspace plans sized by seats and usage | The deployed surface is your client's; the canvas stays internal | Teams whose bottleneck is client approval |
| Pickaxe | No-code builder for small AI tools you embed or host | You assemble, the client uses | Gold from $29 a month billed annually, $37 month to month, with white labelling included at that tier | Your logo and domain once you are on a tier that allows it | A productised micro offer or a lead magnet |
| Chatbase | Support agent trained on a client's own content | The agent, once you load the content | Plans sized by message volume and workspaces; the free tier is 50 message credits a month | Vendor branding removed on paid plans, widget styled to the client | The fastest first deliverable on this list |
| Synthflow | Voice agents that answer, qualify and place calls | The agent, on the phone | Plan fee plus metered voice minutes | White label arrangements aimed at agencies | Clients who lose money to unanswered calls |
I read these vendors' own pricing pages on 15 September 2026. Where a page publishes a self-serve rate I have put it in the billing column; where it does not, the column gives the billing shape instead, because that is the part the margin model actually needs. Voiceflow and Synthflow publish plan structures rather than one agency rate, so I have not invented a starting number for either. Open the plan page linked in each section and put your own figure into the margin model below.
1. Gravity: best when you would rather earn per run than carry a platform bill
This is my product, so weigh what follows accordingly. It sits first because it inverts the deal every other platform on this page offers you.
The standard white-label arrangement puts you in the middle of the sandwich. You pay the platform, you bill the client, and you absorb everything in between: the setup, the model spend, the breakages, the renewal conversation, the month a client's systems change and nothing works. Your margin is whatever survives all of that.
Gravity runs the other way round. A builder publishes an agent, Gravity carries the infrastructure, the distribution and the billing, and the builder earns 21.27% of every run that agent does, rising to 25% at the top tier. No per client platform fee exists, because the people running your agent are Gravity's customers rather than yours.
What you give up is the invoice. You do not set the end price, you do not own the billing relationship, and your name is not on the contract. What you get is a cost sheet with no platform line on it and no Monday morning support queue. The builder onboarding guide walks through publishing, and the complete marketplace guide covers the model itself.
Why the marketplace model changes your margin
Reselling pays you once a month per client and charges you once a month per client, so your income and your workload grow at the same rate. Publishing pays you on every run, for everyone who runs it, and charges you nothing per head. The second one compounds with usage rather than with your headcount.
Pros
- No platform fee per client
- Paid on every run, for as long as the agent runs
- Gravity carries billing, support and infrastructure
- One published agent can serve far more people than your client list ever will
- The first agent is free for anyone you want to show it to, with no card
Cons
- You do not own the client billing relationship
- The agent sits under Gravity's brand, not on your domain
- Published agents pass review before they are listed
- Wrong fit when being the vendor of record is the whole pitch
- Best for
- Builders and agencies who would rather own an asset that earns per run than a retainer they have to service every month.
- Pricing
- First agent free, no card. Then Autopilot at $20 a month worldwide, ₹1,999 a month in India, with a lot of usage included. India also has Minipilot at ₹399 a month with a smaller allowance. Buy more usage if you run out. As of September 2026.
- Builder share
- 21.27% of every run, up to 25% at the top tier.
- Verdict
- The only option here where your cost per client is zero, and the only one where somebody else answers the support ticket.
2. GoHighLevel: best if your agency already runs on one dashboard
GoHighLevel was built for agencies long before the AI wave, and the shape of the product shows it. Client work happens inside sub-accounts. Snapshots clone an entire setup into a new client in minutes. The AI features arrived on top of an agency structure that was already load bearing.
Its reseller tier is the part that matters for this list. On the higher plan you run the platform on your own domain with your branding and sell it to clients as your software at your price, and the AI features ride along inside that wrapper.
The cost is scope. You are adopting an entire agency operating system, so the CRM, the funnels, the scheduler and the pipelines arrive whether you asked for them or not. Agencies already living in it get the AI for very little extra tooling. Agencies who are not are buying a great deal of software in order to white label one agent.
The sub-account is the unit you resell
Everything is priced and organised around the client sub-account, which makes per client margin unusually easy to forecast: one account, one number, multiply by your client count. Read the current tiers on the GoHighLevel pricing page and note which tier unlocks reselling before you model anything.
Pros
- Built around client sub-accounts from the start
- Snapshots make client number eleven much cheaper than client number one
- Full white label on the reseller tier, including your own domain
- One bill instead of a stack of six tools
Cons
- Enormous surface area if you only want the AI part
- Reselling sits behind the higher tier
- Your clients are now inside a platform you do not control
Best for an established agency with ten or more clients already in the platform. If you are not running GoHighLevel today, price the whole suite rather than the AI features before you compare it with anything else on this page.
The pillar behind this page is how to monetize AI agents. It sets retainers, marketplaces and per run revenue next to each other, which is the decision sitting underneath this whole list.
3. Stammer.ai: best when the reseller relationship is the product
Stammer is one of the few platforms here designed from day one to be somebody else's product. The pitch is direct: build AI agents, put them on your domain under your logo, set your own prices, sell them to clients as your platform.
For an agency that means the packaging work is already done. You spend no time styling a widget so it looks less like a vendor's. The surface a client touches, the login, the dashboard, the agent itself, is meant to read as yours.
The trade shows up in what you can build. A platform tuned for resale optimises for a repeatable agent you spin up per client, which is exactly right for a productised offer and constraining the first time a client wants something genuinely bespoke.
So what is left for you to build?
Mostly the offer. Which client problem the agent solves, what onboarding looks like, what you charge, who answers when it misbehaves. That is real work, and it is the work that separates one reseller from the twenty others using the same platform.
- Best for
- Agencies selling a productised AI offer to many similar clients, where the same agent shape fits client after client.
- How it bills
- Plans sized by the number of agents and client accounts you run. Current tiers are on stammer.ai.
- What carries your brand
- Your domain, your logo, your pricing to the client.
- Verdict
- The shortest distance between deciding to resell AI agents and having a client-facing product with your name on it.
Must read before you price anything: AI agent unit economics for builders breaks down what a single run costs once you count the model, the retries and the failures, which is the input every retainer sits on top of.
4. Botpress: best when your clients need real engineering underneath
Botpress is a builder's platform. Visual flows, yes, but with code nodes, an SDK, version control habits and the sort of integration depth that survives contact with a client's actual stack.
Botpress sells no white-label tier. White labelling here falls out of how you ship: you embed the agent inside your client's product or your own wrapper, and Botpress stays out of sight underneath. Agencies with a developer on staff tend to prefer that, because nothing about the deliverable is constrained by a reseller dashboard.
Billing is usage shaped, which is the honest model and the harder one to quote against. A chatty month costs more than a quiet one. If you sell a fixed monthly retainer on top of a variable cost base, you are carrying that variance yourself, so price for the bad month rather than the average.
Where the engineering bill shows up
Not in the platform invoice. It arrives as developer hours on the first integration for every new client, and that is the line deciding whether client six is profitable or merely busy. Check the current usage rates on the Botpress pricing page and model them against your busiest client.
- Best for
- Agencies with a developer, selling to clients whose systems are messy enough that a reseller platform would have to say no.
- How it bills
- Usage shaped, tied to conversations and model calls, with a free tier to prototype on.
- What carries your brand
- Everything the client sees, because you built the surface it sits in.
- Verdict
- The most capable option on this page and the one with the largest hidden labour cost.
5. Voiceflow: best when the client wants to see the flow before it ships
Voiceflow grew up in conversation design, and its centre of gravity is still the canvas where a team maps what an agent says and does. For agency work the useful property is that the canvas is legible to a non-technical client.
That matters more than it sounds. A large share of agency friction is approval: the client cannot picture what they bought until it is live, and then they want it changed. A design surface they can read converts that into a review meeting instead of a rebuild.
What ships to the client's users carries the client's brand. What you build in is a workspace, priced by seats and usage, and that sits on your side of the ledger. Seats have a way of multiplying as the client list grows, so count the seats you will need at fifteen clients rather than at three.
Clients approve what they can see
Put the canvas in the room during scoping and one round of revisions becomes one conversation. Across a year of client work that is a real saving, and it lands in the hours column, which is where your margin actually lives.
Pros
- A design surface a client can read
- Strong collaboration and versioning for teams
- Deploys to chat and voice surfaces
- Good handover artefacts when a client takes it in house
Cons
- Seats and workspaces add up across a client list
- White labelling happens in what you deploy; there is no reseller dashboard
- Heavier than you need for a single support widget
Current seat and usage tiers are on the Voiceflow pricing page. Model it at your target client count before you sign the annual plan.
6. Pickaxe: best for selling one narrow AI tool on your own domain
Pickaxe is for the small, sharp thing. A single-purpose AI tool with a form, a prompt behind it, a paywall if you want one, and your branding around it. You assemble it without code and embed it on your site or your client's.
Agencies use it for lead magnets and micro products rather than for agent teams. A property firm's rental yield calculator. A clinic's pre-visit questionnaire that writes the summary for the doctor. Something a client understands in ten seconds and can show their board.
Branding sits behind a paid tier
Removing vendor branding and running on your own domain are tier-gated on most tools in this bracket, Pickaxe included, so work out which tier you actually need before you quote a client a price. The plan page lists what each tier unlocks.
It suits a productised micro offer and it will disappoint a client who wants an agent running real operations. As a first sale it is hard to beat: something small, branded and live this week is often what earns you the larger engagement three months later.
Worth reading next to this page: AI agents for marketing agencies works through which deliverables are worth productising first, which is a better starting point than picking a platform and looking for something to sell.
7. Chatbase: fastest first deliverable on this list
Point Chatbase at a client's site, docs and help centre, and there is a support agent answering questions the same afternoon. Nothing else here gets from signed contract to something the client can click that quickly.
The white labelling is modest and adequate. Vendor branding comes off on paid plans, the widget takes the client's colours, and it lives on their domain as an embed. Nobody will mistake it for custom software, and for a support deflection deliverable nobody needs to.
Its ceiling is the same thing as its appeal. It answers questions well and it does not run operations, so the retainer it supports is smaller than one attached to an agent that files, books or chases things on the client's behalf.
What deflection has to beat
A support agent earns its retainer by removing tickets a human would otherwise answer. Ask the client what a ticket costs them today and how many arrive in a month. If they cannot tell you, that is your first billable piece of work, and it is worth more to them than the widget.
Pros
- Live in an afternoon from a client's existing content
- Branding removal on paid plans
- Easy to demo, which shortens the sale
- Cheap enough to run a pilot before anyone signs
Cons
- Answers questions; does not run operations
- Message-volume pricing makes a viral month expensive
- Low switching cost for the client, in both directions
8. Synthflow: best when the client's front door is a phone number
A lot of local businesses lose more money to unanswered calls than to anything happening on their website. Clinics, garages, trades, restaurants, letting agents. Synthflow builds voice agents that answer, qualify, book and route, and it courts agencies deliberately with white label arrangements.
Voice carries a cost line the rest of this page does not have. Telephony minutes are metered, and the meter runs while the caller talks, so a busy month arrives with a bill attached. Price the retainer on call volume rather than on a flat guess, and check the current per minute rates on the Synthflow pricing page.
Voice fails in public
A chat agent that stumbles loses a lead quietly. A voice agent that stumbles does it to a person mid sentence, and the client hears about it from their own customer the same day. Budget more supervision hours here than anywhere else on this list, especially in month one.
- Best for
- Clients whose first customer contact is a phone call, in categories where a missed call is a lost job.
- How it bills
- A plan fee plus metered voice minutes, so your cost moves with your client's call volume.
- What carries your brand
- White label options aimed at agencies; confirm what the tier you are buying actually covers.
- Verdict
- The highest perceived value per client on this page, and the highest supervision load to go with it.
The margin math nobody publishes
Here is the hole in every article ranking for this term. They will tell you an agency can charge a monthly retainer for an AI agent. They will not show you the other side of the ledger, so you cannot work out what is left. The numbers below are inputs rather than findings. I picked round ones so you can swap in your own and have an answer in five minutes.
The three cost shapes
Every platform on this page bills in one of three shapes, and the shape decides how your costs behave as you add clients.
| Cost shape | Example input | 5 clients | 10 clients | 25 clients | Cost per client at 25 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat agency plan, client accounts included | $300 a month, flat | $300 | $300 | $300 | $12 |
| Per client sub-account or workspace | $49 per client account | $245 | $490 | $1,225 | $49 |
| Metered usage | $40 per active client in a normal month | $200 | $400 | $1,000 | $40 |
| Publish instead of resell (Gravity) | No platform fee; you earn 21.27% of every run | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
Example inputs, not vendor prices. Replace the second column with the number on your platform's plan page and the rest is arithmetic. Gravity's 21.27% builder share is from the builders page, September 2026.
Read the last column first. A flat agency plan gets cheaper per client every time you sign one, which is why platforms billing that way are the easiest to scale on. Per account and metered shapes stay flat or drift upward, so your twenty-fifth client costs roughly what your first one did, and growth buys you no relief at all.
The line that actually eats it
Now take one client on a $500 monthly retainer and follow them through three different months.
| Cost line | Quiet month | Normal month | Bad month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform | $40 | $40 | $120 |
| Model and telephony usage | $15 | $30 | $90 |
| Your time | 1 hour, $50 | 2 hours, $100 | 6 hours, $300 |
| Total cost | $105 | $170 | $510 |
| Left from a $500 retainer | $395 | $330 | minus $10 |
| Margin | 79% | 66% | minus 2% |
Example inputs, costing your time at $50 an hour. The bad month assumes the client changed a system, the agent broke twice and somebody rebuilt an integration.
The platform bill is the smallest number in every column. Your hours are the largest, and they are the only line that moves by a factor of six between a good month and a bad one. The entire sales conversation in this category is about the line that does not decide the outcome.
Then scale it. At twenty-five clients a bad month is rarely one client; it is the four or five who all changed something in the same fortnight, and they do not queue politely. Agencies do not stall here because the platform got expensive. They stall because client eighteen signed while three earlier clients were mid crisis.
So the number to track is margin per hour of your attention. Margin per client flatters you right up until the month it stops. Marketplace splits compared runs the same question across platforms that pay a share instead of charging a fee.
Set the retainer after you know the floor
Work out your bad month cost first, then price so a bad month still clears your floor. If that number is higher than the client will pay, narrow the agent until it fits. A smaller agent that never breaks is worth more to both of you than a broad one you subsidise with unpaid hours.
Test the cheapest structure before you buy an agency tier. Run your first agent on Gravity free, then look at what publishing pays on the builders page: 21.27% of every run, with no per client bill to carry.
Which one should you choose?
Start from what you are actually selling. That decides the platform far more reliably than a feature grid does.
If your client work already lives in GoHighLevel, the AI answer is almost certainly GoHighLevel. Adding a second platform to save a subscription is how agencies end up with two systems and a reconciliation problem.
When the offer is productised and repeats across similar clients, Stammer.ai is the shortest path. It was built for exactly that shape, so your first month goes into selling rather than into fighting the packaging.
With a developer on the team and clients whose systems are a mess, take Botpress. You will do more work, and you will be able to say yes to requests the reseller platforms have to decline.
Voiceflow earns its place when approval cycles are the bottleneck rather than build time. Showing a client the flow in week one is cheaper than rebuilding it in week six.
For a first small paid deliverable, Pickaxe or Chatbase. One sells a tool, the other deflects tickets, and either can be live inside a week.
Clients who live on the phone are a Synthflow conversation, with more supervision budgeted than you think you need. Voice is the one place on this list where a bad week reaches the client's customers directly.
My own bias, stated plainly. If the agent you built solves a problem that is not unique to one client, reselling it twelve times is the slow version of the idea. Publish it once, let everyone who needs it run it, and take 21.27% of every run with no platform bill and no support queue. That is Gravity, and how to monetize AI agents lays out the wider set of options if a marketplace is not where you want to end up.
Agencies with a specialism have a shortcut. AI agents for SEO agencies and AI agents for marketing agencies list the deliverables worth turning into a product before you go platform shopping.
FAQ
What does white label mean for an AI agent?
It means the agent reaches your client under your name instead of the vendor's. In practice that ranges from removing a vendor logo on a chat widget to running the whole dashboard on your own domain with your login screen and your pricing. Check which of those a plan actually includes, because both get sold as white label.
How much should an agency charge for a white-label AI agent?
Work it out from your own floor rather than from a number in a blog post. Add your platform cost per client, the model or telephony usage, and the hours a bad month costs you, then price so a bad month still clears your target. The margin tables above do that arithmetic with example inputs you can replace with your own.
What is the cheapest way to start reselling AI agents?
Start with one narrow deliverable on a platform that gets you live in a week, and get a client paying before you buy an agency tier. A support agent or a single embedded tool will tell you quickly whether clients want this at all. Publishing an agent on a marketplace carries no per client platform fee, which makes it the cheapest structure of the lot.
Do I need to be technical to white label an AI agent?
No for the reseller platforms, yes for the developer ones. Stammer.ai, Pickaxe and Chatbase are built for people who will never open a code editor. Botpress rewards a developer and will frustrate anyone else by about client three.
Is white labelling better than publishing on a marketplace?
They are different businesses. White labelling gives you the client relationship, the pricing power and the support load; publishing gives you reach and a share of every run with no per client cost. Where to publish AI agents in 2026 compares the destinations.
What breaks the margin on a white-label AI agent?
Hours, almost always. Platform fees are the smallest line on a per client cost sheet. The lines that grow are setup time, the integration that breaks when a client changes a system, and the supervision a live agent needs in its first month.
Can I move my clients to a different white-label platform later?
Rarely without rebuilding. Prompts, flows, connections and conversation history do not export cleanly between these tools, so plan on a rebuild per client rather than a migration. That is a good reason to keep your first client cohort small until you are sure of the platform.
