What each approach is
Hiring more developers means recruiting people to build and look after your client stores alongside your current team.
Reqursor Platform is an AI platform for ecommerce agencies. It builds new stores, is designed to check each store against its approved setup and shows a preview of every change for you to confirm.
The cost model (our analysis)
By our analysis, a developer in the Netherlands costs about €5,500 a month including employer costs and keeps about 5 stores running: about €1,100 per store per month. For an agency with 25 stores, that's 5 developers at about €27,500 a month. The Agency plan for 25 stores costs €8,500 a month billed yearly: €19,000 a month less, about 69%.
The developer figures are our analysis, based on Dutch salary data and not a survey. Reqursor prices depend on your plan and billing, so see the pricing page for your own numbers.
What moves to the platform
With Reqursor Platform the AI is designed to do the routine work of building, updating and checking stores, and every change shows a preview you confirm. A new store starts from a plain description of the store.
What stays with your team
Reqursor Platform is not a replacement for your developers or your team. Your team makes the decisions about clients, brand design and what to build next.
Good fit
- Agencies whose store count is growing faster than they can hire.
- Teams that want to compare costs using their own store numbers.
- Agencies that want developers on client work, not routine upkeep.
Not the right fit
- You need development work beyond routine store upkeep. Reqursor Platform is not a replacement for your team.
- Your clients' stores run on a store platform other than the one supported today. Support for more is planned.
- You are not an agency. Reqursor Platform is built for agencies, and early access starts with a pilot.
