Yes. It is a standard business model where software providers (like UNTH.AI) offer "Reseller Rights" to accelerate their market reach. You own the client; they own the infrastructure .

What happens if the base platform changes its pricing?

Initially, no. In 2026, your "Agent Squad" within your own white-label hub handles 90% of your own customer support, allowing you to scale to as a solo operator .
