Start with the denominator
“Twenty percent” is not a complete price. Twenty percent of all account revenue is different from twenty percent of net paid-message revenue. A quote needs to say what happens to subscriptions, tips, customs, refunds, chargebacks and platform fees.
Ask which sales count when the creator joins a conversation or a scheduled campaign sends an offer. Without a shared attribution rule, a low headline percentage can be expensive and hard to reconcile.
Compare the entire staffing scope
A freelance operator, a supervised team and a full-service agency are different purchases. Check whether recruitment, training, shift cover, quality review and management time are included.
For a fixed fee, check message-volume limits and overage rates. For hourly work, establish whether training and inactive hours are billed. For revenue share, ask about minimums and any setup fee.
| Quote field | Question to ask |
|---|---|
| Coverage | Which hours and timezone are staffed? |
| Supervision | Who reviews replies and handles absences? |
| Revenue base | Gross or net, and which transaction categories? |
| Refunds | Are fees credited for reversed sales? |
| Ending service | What notice and final charges apply? |
Use a worked example, clearly marked as one
Illustrative only: a $1,000 fixed fee equals 20% of $5,000 in eligible revenue, but 10% of $10,000. This is arithmetic, not an agency quote or an earnings prediction. The same coverage may also fail to fit both queues.
Run quotes through a quiet month, a typical month and a high-volume month using your own records. Add any supervision or software costs you will still carry. The calculation should help you compare, not imply that outsourcing necessarily raises revenue.
What Bambi publishes
Bambi’s parent advertises no upfront cost and month-to-month agreements. A verified public chat-only rate has not been supplied. Full-management pricing should not be treated as the price of an inbox-only service.
Request a written scope and fee calculation. The pricing page lists the fields needed to make that quote reviewable.

Is a fixed fee always cheaper?
No. It depends on your eligible revenue, volume and the work included. Compare total cost and service scope across several real months of your own account history.
