Revenue Model
Three legs, not one
The revenue model stands on core SaaS for stable recurring revenue, real estate lead gen for high-margin growth, and enterprise deals for step-function ARR jumps.
Core SaaS
Subscription revenue from councils, BIDs, tourism bodies, and businesses managing their visual presence on Google.
- Starter — $29/mo
- Pro — $99/mo
- Council Town — $299/mo
- Council City — $599/mo
- Enterprise — $1,500+/mo
Stable recurring revenue
Real Estate Lead Gen
Suburb sponsorship and lead routing create high-margin revenue with built-in lock-in — dropping the subscription means a competitor claims the suburb.
- Suburb Sponsorship — $299/suburb/mo
- Agent Team Office — $999/mo (3-suburb cluster)
- Lead Routing — $299/mo flat
39% of Year 3 revenue
Enterprise & Franchise
Step-function ARR jumps from state tourism boards, franchise networks, and multi-location operators. A single Ray White regional rollout could add $36K–$60K ARR.
- Custom pricing from $1,500/mo
- White-label available
- Agency channel (Year 3)
High leverage, unpredictable
Financial Projections
Three-year revenue trajectory
Australia-only ARR projections across conservative, moderate, and optimistic scenarios. Real estate lead gen launches mid-Year 2, nearly tripling Year 3 revenue.
| Period | Conservative | Moderate | Optimistic |
|---|---|---|---|
Year 1 Launch + Traction | $35K | $105K | $240K |
Year 2 Growth + Lead Gen Launch | $190K | $600K | $1.35M |
Year 3 Scale + Enterprise | $510K | $2.4M | $4.1M |
Year 1
Launch + Traction
Year 2
Growth + Lead Gen Launch
Year 3
Scale + Enterprise
Adding real estate as a customer segment and lead generation as a revenue layer nearly triples Year 3 ARR — from ~$850K (original SaaS-only model) to ~$2.4M. The lead gen layer is high-margin (suburb pages already exist) and low-churn (exclusivity creates lock-in).
Year 3 Moderate
Diversified revenue mix
No single tier exceeds 23% of revenue. Real estate products (sponsorship, Team Office, lead routing) contribute 39% — potentially above 45% including agents on Starter/Pro.

Agent Team Office — highest-revenue real estate tier
Packages suburb clusters for agency offices rather than selling individual sponsorships. At 30 offices this is <0.1% of Australia's ~45,000 agencies.
~2% churn
Suburb sponsorship has built-in lock-in
Dropping the subscription means a competitor can claim the suburb. Exclusivity creates natural retention pressure without contracts.
Growth Path
Australia is the proving ground, not the ceiling
The council, BID, and real estate ecosystems in the UK, US, and EU are larger and better funded. Australian revenue validates the model — international expansion scales it.

Key sensitivities
Council conversion
Each council at $299–$599/mo is worth 10–20 Starter customers. Landing 10 more councils matters more than 200 Starter sign-ups.
Enterprise deals
A single state tourism board at $3,000/mo = 100 Starter customers. High leverage.
Franchise rollouts
A single Ray White regional rollout (50+ offices) could add $36K–$60K ARR from one contract.
Suburb sponsorship
80 suburbs + 30 Team Offices = $53,890 MRR from lead gen alone. Even at 50% conversion, ~$27K MRR at near-zero marginal cost.
Strategic Pivot
From SaaS tool to AI-native infrastructure
PlaceSnap exposes its capabilities through three programmatic interfaces — turning every AI agent, CI/CD pipeline, and MCP-connected assistant into a persistent, high-retention revenue stream.
Infrastructure companies are valued at 15–25x revenue vs 5–10x for standard SaaS. The developer ecosystem shifts PlaceSnap's valuation profile from “vertical SaaS tool” to “AI-native infrastructure platform.”
CLI
@placesnap/cli
Enterprise clients integrate photo uploads and audits into CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and shell scripts. A national franchise can automate visual asset management across hundreds of locations.
Programmable utility
Explore the CLIMCP Server
@placesnap/mcp
AI assistants query Visual Gap Scores, trigger audits, and generate reports through natural language. PlaceSnap becomes a verified data source for Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.
AI-native data layer

Autonomous place management
AI agents monitor, decide, and act 24/7 without human intervention. A council's digital place manager watches 200+ locations, auto-triages alerts, and generates committee reports autonomously.
