Partner programs · Columa
Agency, Reseller, Referrer and Sales rep solve four different problems. The difference comes down to one question: who owns the client relationship — you, or Columa?
Agency and Reseller are not alternatives. Agency is the plan you subscribe to; it does not create client accounts on its own. Reselling is the approval that switches provisioning on — and it is open only to Agency plan holders. No other plan can resell. Referring and repping need no plan at all.
The four tracks · 01
The subscription
Every Columa service for your own agency, the operator console, white-label — and the right to provision clients at wholesale.
The add-on to Agency
Switches on client provisioning. You buy at wholesale, set your own retail price and keep the spread.
A program you join
You send business our way and stop there. Columa does the selling, billing and support.
A commissioned role
You sell Columa actively as a 1099 rep — pitch and work deals. We close, bill and support.

Wholesale and commission apply to package fees only. Metered usage above plan is always billed at retail and never discounted or commissioned.
The economics · 03
The Agency plan is a cost, not a revenue stream. The money is in the spread: you buy each client’s licence at wholesale and charge them your own retail price. Wholesale starts with your first client and deepens as your book grows — and at ten, an approved reseller’s platform fee disappears entirely.
| Active clients | Your wholesale | You pay Columa | You keep, per client | Spread per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 25% off | $261.75 | $87.25 | $87.25 |
| 6 | 30% off | $244.30 | $104.70 | $628.20 |
| 10+ | 35% off | $226.85 | $122.15 | $1,221.50 |
Worked on the Concierge plan at its $349 list price. At 10 active clients an approved reseller’s $599 platform fee is waived, so the full spread is yours.
