Five Compounding Revenue Streams

ArchIQ is designed for multi-channel B2B monetisation — from individual SaaS subscriptions through to OEM licensing and enterprise marketplace deals.

Stream 01

SaaS Subscriptions

Product-led growth via free tier drives individual architect adoption, converting to paid Pro and Team plans. Low CAC, high stickiness — architecture history creates switching cost.
Free (5 sessions) Pro $29/user/mo Team $99/mo
Target LTV $2,000+ · CAC target <$100 · LTV:CAC 20:1
Stream 02

Enterprise Deals

50+ seat organisations sign annual contracts with SSO/SAML, self-hosted deployment, custom AI model integration, compliance templates (HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS), and dedicated support.
Annual contracts SSO/SAML Self-hosted option Custom AI models
Starting £15,000/yr · Target 10 enterprise logos by end of 2027
Stream 03

Cloud Marketplace Listings

AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplace integrations are fully wired and ready. Enterprise buyers spend committed cloud credits through marketplace — zero friction procurement for Fortune 500 customers.
AWS Marketplace Azure Marketplace GCP Marketplace Committed spend eligible
Unlocks F500 procurement · Metered billing · No separate PO required
Stream 04

API Licensing

Embed the ArchIQ AI engine directly into third-party platforms — CI/CD tools, IaC generators, cloud consoles, and developer portals. Partners pay a monthly API licence fee.
REST API Webhook events White-label diagram output
£499–£2,499/mo per integration · Target 5 partners by 2027
Stream 05

OEM & White-Label

System integrators (Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG Tech) and cloud resellers licence ArchIQ under their brand to deliver to their clients — annual OEM fee with per-seat royalty.
Full white-label Custom branding Reseller margin
£25,000+/yr base + £10/seat/mo royalty
Stream 06 (Future)
