Partner tiers, in detail
Fresim charges you a flat markup over its own wholesale cost for every eSIM you sell — no revenue share, no cap on your margin. Moving up a tier doesn't take a bigger cut of your sales; it lowers your cost and unlocks more white-label surface, from a custom domain up to a fully managed operation.

The math, worked through
Take a plan that costs Fresim $5.00 wholesale, and suppose you retail it at $15.99. Your cost — and therefore your profit on the identical sale — changes with your tier:
| Tier | Markup | Your cost | You sell for | Your profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | +150% | $12.50 | $15.99 | $3.49 |
| Business | +100% | $10.00 | $15.99 | $5.99 |
| Dedicated | +50% | $7.50 | $15.99 | $8.49 |
| Enterprise | +17% | $5.85 | $15.99 | $10.14 |
You set your own retail price anywhere at or above your cost — the platform enforces that floor when you list an offer. The split happens automatically at the moment of purchase via Stripe Connect: Fresim collects its cost + markup, everything above it lands in your Stripe account. Illustrative example; wholesale prices vary by plan.
Your branded app — how it really works
Business-tier and above, Fresim builds you a real, native iOS and Android app from our production codebase — your name, your icon, your brand colors — with storefront browsing, purchases, one-tap eSIM install, push notifications, and an AI support chat built in. Here is the honest version of what that involves:
- You need your own store accounts. Apple's App Store rules (Guideline 4.2.6) require each partner app to be published under the partner's own Apple Developer account ($99/yr — organizations also need a D-U-N-S number), and we use the same partner-owned model on Google Play ($25 one-time). That keeps the listing, its ratings, and its ownership yours — if you ever leave Fresim, you keep your app.
- Realistic timeline: roughly 2–4 weeks from kickoff to live in the stores — dominated by developer-account enrollment, store metadata (screenshots, descriptions, privacy questionnaires), and each store's review cycle, not by the build itself.
- Sign-in in v1 is email-based — customers sign in with a one-time emailed code or their Google account (Apple sign-in on iOS). No passwords, no separate account system to run.
- App updates are on us. When the shared app improves, we rebuild your branded variant and prepare the store submission; review approval timing stays in the stores' hands.
Branded-app onboarding checklist
You provide
- A square-ish logo: at least 512×512 px, aspect ratio no wider than 2:1 (we render every icon size from it)
- Your brand name + colors (already set in your Fresim dashboard)
- An Apple Developer account (enrolled by your legal entity) and/or a Google Play Console account
- Store credentials for submission (an App Store Connect API key / Play service account — we walk you through issuing least-privilege ones)
- Answers for the stores' review questionnaires (we pre-fill drafts for you)
Fresim does
- Builds the app: your bundle ID, icon set, brand theme, wired to your live storefront and catalog
- Renders and validates all store icon assets from your logo
- Prepares the store submissions against your accounts and tracks every build
- Handles ongoing rebuilds when the shared app codebase improves
- Supports you through App Review back-and-forth if the stores have questions
Enterprise — $10,000 · 3-month managed engagement
Enterprise isn't a bigger subscription — it's a consulting engagement. For three months we set up and operate the eSIM business for you: company and account setup, storefront and branded app, catalog curation and pricing strategy, infrastructure under your own company, and week-by-week operation — then hand you the keys. Throughout (and after), you buy at our best rate, wholesale + 17%.
It's sales-assisted, not self-serve — scope gets tailored to what you're bringing (an audience, a travel product, a distribution channel).
