Agent-as-a-service retainers: the path from solo operator to $10K MRR
Solo operators are productizing one agent template — sales outreach, support, data enrichment — and selling it to SMBs on $2,500 to $8,000 monthly retainers at 70 to 88 percent margins. Market data cited ranges from $1,200 to $18,000 monthly recurring revenue. The hard part is not the build but selling three to five retainers; one-off builds at $800 to $4,000 are the lowest-margin tier. Figures unconfirmed independently.
