# Ownbox | Business model and distribution
**Updated:** 2026-11-01 | **All future forecasts are estimates**

## Product pricing publicly advertised at review date
- Core Shared AI Brain: **$799 one-time**.
- Pro: **$1,599 one-time**.
- First **90 days** of Managed Support included; then **$99 Core / $199 Pro per month** for customers who continue paying. Customers can cancel or arrange their own hosting subject to the actual terms.
- Customers pay AI providers separately as applicable. Enterprise is publicly described as **priced on a call**, not a fixed public rate.

## Commercial channels
- Direct-to-business purchases.
- Affiliate/creator referrals: public affiliate page currently states **20%** on eligible sales and qualifying Managed Support for the applicable 12-month period.
- Approved agencies/resellers: public partner page currently states **40%** on eligible sales and Managed Support, subject to the partner agreement.
- Corporate departments: founder-led pilots and enterprise sales are targets; pricing and deployment terms are negotiated case by case.

## Internal enterprise *model* assumptions — not contracted rates
The base cash-flow model uses **$10,000 one-time department setup plus $1,000 monthly**. A separate premium scenario considers $25,000 setup plus $2,500/month. Neither is a published price guarantee, signed transaction or observed average selling price.

## Revenue composition and limits
The forecast combines one-time purchases with opt-in recurring Managed Support and enterprise service cash. These receipts are **not equivalent to GAAP revenue or SaaS ARR**. Customers who keep Ownbox may cancel Managed Support; a software install is not automatically a paid recurring subscriber.
