How do you recover the cost of such a service in your pricing as I believe these are not cheap?
The FAA files are $10 if you are not in a hurry and $20 for same-day service. I only order them with a “new” client and only on older planes.
Having a third party subscription service for searching and building up-to-date AD lists is not required since the FAA makes all of the information available on-line, for free. That said, it’s somewhat tedious using the FAA’s database, hence using a third-party on-line service and there is other required FAA documentation that must be available to the IA, such as the latest AIM, all of this is covered under the subscription.
The one I use is quite reasonable @$50/month.
