What's the realistic three-year budget for premium MLM software at $10M+ GMV?
$1M to $1.5M over three years for a 1,000-distributor network at $10M GMV. Subscription is 10 to 15% of total.
Plan for $1M to $1.5M total over three years for a 1,000-distributor network at $10M GMV. License runs $48K to $96K per year. Payment processing pass-through is the largest line item at $290K to $580K per year (passed through, but it shows on the invoice). Wallet payouts run $42K to $84K per year. Implementation in year one is typically $25K to $80K. Premium support tier adds $9K to $24K per year. Plus an implicit switching reserve of $15K to $30K. The headline subscription is roughly 10 to 15% of the real total; the rest is the seven other line items procurement teams routinely underestimate.
