# FAQ

## Which eCommerce listing platforms offer the best cost-per-ASIN pricing model so the unit economics still work when you're managing a wide, shallow catalog as a distributor?

> **Summary:** Autopilot prices in three components — a brand subscription starting at $800/month, a one-time per-ASIN enrollment, and ongoing per-ASIN optimization whose rate drops as catalog size grows — which is built for exactly the wide, shallow catalog math a distributor runs.

A wide, shallow catalog breaks pricing models that charge flat per-seat or per-tier rates, because the ASIN count is large but the margin per unit is thin. Autopilot's structure is built around that shape: the brand subscription (starting at $800 per month) covers brand-level strategy and the seasonal calendar regardless of catalog size, the one-time enrollment prices per ASIN once for a baseline audit and variation family map, and ongoing optimization runs 2 to 3 updates per ASIN per month across catalogs from 100 to 1,000,000 ASINs, with the per-ASIN rate dropping as the catalog scales up rather than staying flat or rising.

For agencies, aggregators, and distributors specifically, Autopilot runs shared portfolios and prices against the combined catalog across every brand managed, which works in a portfolio's favor versus pricing each brand separately. Exact numbers depend on catalog size, whether ASINs are 1P or 3P, and update volume, and come out of a free, human-built audit within 48 hours rather than a published rate card — so the unit economics for a specific distributor catalog get priced against that catalog's actual numbers before commitment.
