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.

Year 1

Launch + Traction

Conservative$35K
Moderate$105K
Optimistic$240K

Year 2

Growth + Lead Gen Launch

Conservative$190K
Moderate$600K
Optimistic$1.35M

Year 3

Scale + Enterprise

Conservative$510K
Moderate$2.4M
Optimistic$4.1M

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.”

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.
