Pricing
What it costs, and how the number is arrived at
Three components, quoted together. Nothing is contingent on a long-term contract, and advertising spend is always billed by the platform to the client, never marked up by us.
Components
The three things you pay for
01 — Platform fee
[$X] per business, per month
Covers the connected integrations, lead and order capture, attribution and reporting. Scales with the number of connected businesses, not with your revenue.
02 — Managed advertising
[X]% of managed spend
Optional, and only where we manage campaigns on your behalf. Charged as a stated percentage of the advertising spend under management, disclosed in writing before you buy and itemized on every invoice.
03 — Payments
Provider’s published rate
Card and bank-transfer processing is priced and billed by the licensed processor of record, at their published rate. Where we receive a share of that fee, it is disclosed to you before you enable payments.
Advertising spend is not our revenue. The money you spend on advertising is paid to the advertising platform, is reported to you exclusive of any fee we charge, and is never marked up, rebated or re-billed by SMB Tiller. See our third-party advertising practices.
Worked examples
What a quote actually looks like
Pricing is quoted per engagement, because the number of connected businesses and the amount of managed spend vary widely. These examples show how the components combine; your quote states the rate for each one.
| Line item | Single business, self-managed ads | Agency, 20 businesses, managed ads |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fee | 1 × [$X] / month | 20 × [$X] / month |
| Managed advertising fee | Not applicable — you run your own campaigns | [X]% of monthly spend under management |
| Advertising spend | Billed to you by the advertising platform | Billed to each client by the advertising platform |
| Payment processing | Processor’s published rate, billed by the processor | Processor’s published rate, billed by the processor |
| Minimum term | None | None |
