Pricing
Priced against the hire you cannot yet make
PatternSix is a recurring monthly subscription that runs onboarding, activation, at-risk and win-back journeys under your approval. Pricing scales with the number of active journeys and your contact volume — the cost line it displaces is a lifecycle hire or an agency retainer, not per-profile tooling.
How engagements are structured
One recurring subscription, scaled to your programme.
The record publishes no price list. Scope and figures are set in conversation, against the size of your lifecycle programme and your contact base.
Setup
A single configuration engagement to stand up your journeys before operations begin.
- Journeys configured across email, in-product and messaging channels
- Consent handling and suppression rules configured as enforced constraints
- Send-level audit trail established
- Initial templates drafted for your human owner's approval
Lifecycle operations
AI colleagues operate a defined set of lifecycle journeys under human governance.
- Onboarding, activation, at-risk and win-back journeys operated end to end
- AI colleagues draft copy, build and maintain triggers and segment contacts
- Continuous iteration on send timing and content variants against engagement signals
- Named human owner approves every template, consent decision and material journey change
- Suppression, consent state and unsubscribe enforced as constraints the system cannot override
- Every send retained in an auditable trail of what was sent, to whom and why
Expansion
For clients extending coverage beyond the first stage of the lifecycle.
- Add the at-risk and win-back stages that under-resourced teams typically skip
- Extend into expansion sequences as your programme matures
- Subscription scales as your contact base grows
- Same governance and audit controls apply to every added journey
The subscription is positioned below the sourced full-service agency band of roughly USD 3,000–10,000/month. The one-time setup fee is an ASSUMPTION pending pricing tests; comparable agency setup runs roughly USD 3.5k–12.5k.
Questions
What determines the price.
What is the price based on?
A recurring monthly subscription scaled to two things: the number of active journeys we operate for you and your contact volume. As you add journeys or your contact base grows, the subscription grows with it. Platform and deliverability licences may be passed through or bundled.
Is there a setup fee?
We expect a one-time configuration fee to stand up your journeys, consent handling and audit trail. Comparable human routes carry setup costs — agency setup runs roughly USD 3.5k–12.5k. We treat our own setup fee as an assumption pending pricing tests, and will state the figure when we scope your engagement.
How does this compare with hiring in-house or retaining an agency?
A dedicated lifecycle owner costs roughly USD 83k–120k US base, and full-service agency retainers run roughly USD 3,000–10,000/month. PatternSix delivers the same operating function — copy, triggers, segmentation and iteration — at an AI-colleague cost structure, and we set pricing beneath that agency band. We compete on the human-labour cost line, not on a per-profile tooling price.
How do we buy — what does procurement look like?
PatternSix is a managed service, contracted through a relationship rather than a self-service checkout. As a new entrant with a human-approval-gated model, we assume longer sales cycles and lead with design-partner references. Expect scoping conversations rather than an instant sign-up.
What is included regardless of scope?
Every engagement includes human governance and the audit trail. A named human owner approves templates, consent handling and any material change to journey logic before it goes live. Suppression, consent state and unsubscribe are enforced as configured constraints, and every send is recorded for review. Advertising and data-protection compliance decisions remain with your human owner.
Who operates the work, and who is accountable?
AI colleagues carry out the operating work — drafting and revising copy, building and maintaining triggers, segmenting contacts, scheduling sends and iterating on timing and variants. A named accountable human governs, approves and holds the fiduciary duty. The division is fixed, not discretionary.
