AgencyKit · Retainers

Retainers that track themselves.

AgencyKit is retainer management software for agencies. Define a monthly package once, say 12 designs and 8 posts, and usage counts down as your team completes tasks. At month end, the invoice drafts itself, with overage billed automatically. No spreadsheet, no guessing, no free work.

What is AgencyKit Retainers?

AgencyKit Retainers is retainer management software for agencies and freelancers. You define a monthly package per client, services and quantities like 12 designs and 8 posts, and AgencyKit tracks usage automatically as your team completes tasks, alerts you before the package runs over, and drafts the month-end invoice for you. It is included in every plan, starting at $9 a month.

Sound familiar?

Retainers are where agencies quietly lose money.

The spreadsheet nobody updates

Usage lives in a tracker someone fills in "later." By month end, nobody actually knows how many deliverables went out.

Scope creep goes unbilled

The client asked for "just one more post", six times. It was never priced, never billed, and it came out of your margin.

Invoicing day is detective work

Reconstructing what happened last month from chats and memory, then writing the invoice by hand, every single month.

How it works

Define it once. It runs itself.

The package, the tracking, the alerts, and the invoice, connected end to end.

Packages built from your services

Pick services from your catalog and set monthly quantities and the fee. "12 designs + 8 posts + 2 campaigns" takes a minute to set up.

Usage counts itself

Tasks carry a service and a unit count. The moment one is completed, the client's package usage updates. No manual logging, ever.

Live usage bars per client

Open any client and see exactly where every service stands this cycle, used, remaining, and trending over.

Alerts before it runs over

You are notified as a package approaches its limit, so the conversation with the client happens before the free work does.

Month-end invoice, drafted for you

Every billing cycle, the package invoice is created automatically as a draft. You review it and send it, nothing goes out without you.

MRR you can actually see

Active packages roll up into recurring revenue on your business report, the number every agency owner should know cold.

Scope creep, finally billed.

On Agency Pro, work beyond the package is priced at your overage rate and added to the month-end invoice automatically. The "quick extra post" your team delivered on the 27th shows up as a paid line item on the 1st, not as a silent hit to your margin.

Overage lines appear on the drafted invoice with your per-unit rate, reviewed by you before anything is sent.

Why not a spreadsheet?
