The three pricing models, worked through

Take a brand spending Rs 5 lakh a month on Amazon ads. On a spend-band retainer like SW Cybernetics Growth, it pays Rs 75,000, which is 15% of spend, because it is above the Rs 3 lakh Starter band. On a 12% to 15% of spend model it would pay Rs 60,000 to Rs 75,000. On SellerApp's agency pricing it would pay $300, about Rs 28,800, plus Rs 2,500 to Rs 12,500.

Now take Rs 20 lakh a month. The retainer bands no longer apply and the enterprise percentage takes over. At 12% to 15% of spend the fee would be Rs 2.4 lakh to Rs 3 lakh a month, which is why large brands usually negotiate a lower percentage or build an in-house team.

A flat software fee does not move with spend: BlooprintAI stays at Rs 14,999 for Amazon at both budgets. But software does not run the account for you, which is the thing an agency fee pays for.

What to ask any agency before signing

  1. Which spend counts

    All Amazon ad spend, or only campaigns they manage? Does DSP count?

  2. What happens when spend grows

    Does a sale-month spike push you into a higher band or percentage?

  3. Who owns the account and data

    You should own the ad account and keep access to campaigns and reports if you leave.

  4. Which tools they use

    Many agencies run bid tools; ask whether you get access and whether the tool fee is inside the retainer.

  5. GST and lock-in

    Confirm the fee is before or after 18% GST, and the notice period.

When software is cheaper, and when it is not

Software is cheaper when someone in your team already understands Amazon ads and the console is the bottleneck. Blooprint's guide on blooprint.in covers the broader agency vs software vs doing it yourself decision; this page is about the price.

An agency is worth its fee when nobody in the business has time for ads, when you are entering a marketplace you do not know, or when the account is large enough that an expert's attention pays for itself. Some sellers combine the two: software for the weekly work and a consultant for a quarterly review.

How BlooprintAI works, so this comparison is fair: it is bulk-workflow software, not a bidding robot. It creates campaigns in bulk from a CSV, filters keywords and targets by ACoS, CPC, CVR or spend, shows suggested bids, and applies the bid, budget and placement changes you approve, with a summary first and a log afterwards. It does not auto-bid, run hourly rules, add negatives on its own, daypart, or offer a custom dashboard builder. If you want fully hands-off bidding, some of the tools on this page do that and BlooprintAI does not.

Is software cheaper than an agency?

On price, usually: BlooprintAI is Rs 14,999 a month for Amazon and Rs 12,999 for Flipkart + Shopsy, flat. But software needs someone on your side to run it, and it applies changes you approve rather than acting alone.

What is included in an agency retainer?

Typically campaign setup, bid and budget management, negative keywords, reporting and a monthly review. Check whether creative, listing work, DSP and tool fees are included or extra.

Can an agency use BlooprintAI on my account?

Yes. BlooprintAI supports multiple seller accounts and connects through Amazon's and Flipkart's official authorisation, so an agency or freelancer can work in it while you keep the logs.
