The right price for a marketing operating system depends on more than the number of people using it.
An agency coordinating multiple client accounts may have different requirements from an in-house team working within one organization. A business may need only a limited set of workflows, while a larger operation may require broader access, additional configuration, or more extensive support.
Runner's commercial model should reflect the value and resources associated with the service provided, while making the terms and limitations understandable before a customer commits.
What determines the right plan?
Organization and team requirements
The number of people who need access, the responsibilities they perform, and the collaboration requirements may affect the appropriate plan.
Workflow requirements
The scope of research, planning, creative, execution, and analysis activities a customer intends to coordinate should inform which capabilities are necessary.
Client and account structure
Agencies and organizations managing multiple brands or business units may have different separation, permissions, and administration requirements.
Integrations and data needs
Connected systems, data availability, usage requirements, and the complexity of a customer's environment may affect the resources required to deliver the service.
Support and implementation
Some organizations may need additional guidance to configure workflows, prepare their teams, or evaluate how Runner fits existing operations.
Any separately priced services must be clearly identified.
Pricing should be transparent
A useful pricing page should explain what is included, which limits apply, how usage is measured, and whether any additional charges may arise.
Customers should be able to understand the relationship between the plan they select and the functionality they will receive.
Important terms include billing frequency, user or account limits, included usage, additional usage charges, cancellation terms, and any applicable taxes.
These details should be published only after they have been confirmed.
Early access and availability
If Runner is currently in early access, explain that status accurately.
State whether access is invitation-based, whether availability is limited, what participants can currently use, and whether pricing has been finalized.
Do not advertise a paid plan, trial, discount, free tier, or billing arrangement unless the corresponding offer is actually available.
Commercial details are being finalized.
Runner is in development, and its commercial plans are being defined alongside the product's capabilities and availability.

Evaluate value, not price alone
When comparing marketing software, consider the work it supports, the systems it requires, the time needed to implement it, and the ongoing effort involved in maintaining it.
A lower subscription price does not necessarily mean a lower total cost if a tool introduces additional administration or duplicates existing systems. Likewise, a more comprehensive platform is not automatically the right choice if its capabilities exceed the organization's needs.
The relevant question is whether the product provides sufficient value for the intended use and whether that value can be evaluated with credible evidence.

The login experience may show illustrative plan cards for design and product exploration. Those cards are not confirmed commercial terms unless TLR publishes pricing that explicitly supersedes this notice.
