NanoCorp Alternatives Where Withdrawing Your Own Money Is Free
NanoCorp keeps 20% of every withdrawal and holds your domain and payments. The alternatives, compared on who holds the money and the accounts.
Founder, Task Machine
There is a particular moment when a platform's pricing page stops being abstract: the day you try to take your own money out. Plenty of autonomous-company tools are cheap or free to run, and the real price only shows up at the exit, as a percentage of the revenue your business earned.
NanoCorp is the clearest case. The pitch is genuinely impressive: one prompt, one company, zero code. Describe a business in a sentence and its agents build and ship a live software product with a landing page, an app, and a database, deploy a domain, take Stripe payments, run Meta ad campaigns on daily budgets, do outbound prospecting and customer email, and send you a daily CEO briefing while running around the clock. The founder reported 190+ companies created on launch day and claims a 96% ship rate. The entry pricing is friendly too: a free-forever tier with three lifetime credits, and a Founder plan at $30 a month with rolling credits and custom domains.
The catch is a 20% fee on money you withdraw. The company your agents built earns revenue into infrastructure NanoCorp provisioned and holds, the domain, the payments, the app itself, and taking your earnings out costs a fifth of them. That is the term worth shopping against.
The fee is half the story, custody is the other half
The withdrawal fee gets the attention, but it only works because of the provisioning model behind it. On the free tier your company lives on a nanocorp.app domain with NanoCorp email. Payments flow through accounts the platform stands up, not accounts you brought. The one-prompt magic and the exit fee are the same design: everything is theirs to provision, so the money passes through them on the way to you.
When comparing alternatives, ask two questions, not one. Does this platform take a percentage of your money anywhere, at earn time or at withdrawal time? And if you leave in a year, do the domain, the payments account, and the code come with you?
The alternatives sort into three groups on those questions.
Group one: still a cut, just a different shape
Polsia is the most prominent name in this lane, with founder-reported traction of roughly $1M ARR about thirty days after launch. It goes even further than NanoCorp on provisioning, standing up the servers, database, email, Stripe account, and repository itself, and it runs an unsupervised nightly loop with a morning summary email. But the money model is a sibling of NanoCorp's, not an alternative to it: around $49 a month plus a 20% share of business revenue routed through Polsia's Stripe, plus 20% of managed ad spend. NanoCorp charges you when money leaves. Polsia charges you as money arrives. If the withdrawal fee is what sent you searching, Polsia does not fix it.
Group two: no percentage in the pricing, but the platform hosts your company
Cofounder runs your company as hosted agent departments, engineering, sales, marketing, design, finance, and operations, with managers and shared context. Its published pricing is a subscription with usage, a 7-day trial, Pro at $20 a month with usage included, and usage-based overage beyond that. Nothing in it takes a percentage of your revenue. The trade is custody and control of the stack: Cofounder hosts everything, its approval model covers a narrow list of dangerous actions like incorporating an LLC or opening a bank account, and you cannot bring your own model subscription such as Claude Code or Codex.
AgentAGI gives you an org chart of role-named specialists, Atlas the CEO orchestrator, Echo for marketing, Nova for growth, Forge for engineering, with templates that set a company up in about two minutes. Its distinctive money feature is per-agent budgets that stop spending at the limit, which is real protection against runaway costs. The trade is the control model: the company runs 24/7 and you act as a board of directors approving strategy from above.
MakerPad ships a self-running company with five tools wired in from day one, AI coding agents, Stripe checkout, ad campaigns, cold email, and SEO page generation, currently on a free beta with pay-as-you-scale pricing. Companies live on makerpad.app subdomains, so the custody question has the same answer as NanoCorp's free tier: the operation runs on the platform's rails.
Group three: no cut, and the accounts are yours
win.sh is explicit about both questions. There is no revenue share and no withdrawal fee, pricing is a self-serve monthly budget from $50 to $10,000 with a hard cap and dollar-based receipts, and it connects to accounts you already own, Stripe, Shopify, HubSpot, GitHub, Notion, and more. It keeps the autonomous shape NanoCorp fans like, a 24/7 loop with a morning brief, while gating risky moves like spend and outreach behind approvals. Its honest tradeoff is that it is autonomy-first: the loop runs before you ask, and your control surface is reviewing decisions it already proposed or made within your rules.
Task Machine sits in the same group on money and custody, with a different answer on control. Flat, predictable pricing, no cut of revenue or ad spend, no withdrawal fee, and agents that act through accounts you own rather than accounts provisioned for you. The difference is that Task Machine is control-first: you direct work in chat, everything that needs your judgment lands in one inbox before it ships, and recurring work runs as deterministic workflows with approval and verifier steps and step-level logs you can read afterward.
The comparison in one table
| Platform | Percentage of your money | Who holds domain, payments, code | Control surface |
|---|---|---|---|
| NanoCorp | 20% fee on withdrawals | Platform provisions and holds them | Daily CEO briefing, approve major decisions |
| Polsia | 20% of revenue plus 20% of managed ad spend | Platform provisions and holds them | Morning email after an unsupervised nightly loop |
| Cofounder | None published, subscription plus usage | Platform hosts the departments and stack | Approvals on a short list of dangerous actions |
| AgentAGI | None published, per-agent budget caps | Cloud platform runs the org | Approve strategy from above, company runs 24/7 |
| MakerPad | None published, free beta then pay-as-you-scale | Runs on platform subdomains and wired-in tools | Live activity feed of what agents are doing |
| win.sh | No revenue share, no withdrawal fee | You connect accounts you own | Approval gates plus a morning brief after the loop runs |
| Task Machine | No cut of anything, flat pricing | You connect accounts you own | Chat to direct, inbox to approve, tasks to dig in |
Who should pick what
If the one-prompt experience is the thing you value and a fifth of your withdrawals is an acceptable convenience fee, NanoCorp remains the fastest route from sentence to shipped company, and nothing on this list matches that speed. If you want the always-on loop without any cut, win.sh is the closest match in spirit. If you want hosted departments at a low subscription, Cofounder is the budget pick, custody included.
Task Machine is the right alternative if the lesson you took from the withdrawal fee is broader than the fee itself: that a business should run on accounts you hold, earn money that is entirely yours, and give you the decision before the risky step rather than a briefing after it. It is the wrong alternative if you want a company that stands itself up in two minutes with nothing to connect, because bringing your own accounts is exactly the setup NanoCorp exists to remove.
