Polsia Alternatives That Don't Take a Cut of Your Revenue
Polsia charges 20% of revenue plus 20% of ad spend and holds your accounts. The honest alternatives, and what each one trades for that freedom.
Founder, Task Machine
You want the business to keep moving when you stop working. That is the whole appeal of the autonomous-company pitch: describe what you are building, let agents run the marketing, the support, the code, and wake up to progress instead of a to-do list. The tools promising this have stopped being demos and started being businesses with real customers.
Polsia is the loudest proof. Its founder reports crossing $1M in annual recurring revenue roughly thirty days after launch, and several million more within five months. Those numbers are founder-reported and inconsistent across sources, but the traction is real enough to respect rather than dismiss. Polsia earned it by removing every ounce of setup: it provisions the servers, the database, the email, the Stripe account, and the repository itself, runs an autonomous loop every night, and emails you a summary in the morning.
The reason to look for an alternative is not that Polsia does not work. It is the terms.
What you actually trade for the convenience
Polsia's subscription is around $49 a month, priced near break-even. The business model sits elsewhere: a 20% cut of your business revenue, routed through a Stripe account Polsia controls, plus 20% of the ad spend it manages. The framing is alignment, "we only make money when you do," and Polsia states you own 100% of what it builds. The economics are still a recurring share of a business you are building.
The second trade is custody. Because Polsia provisions everything, the payments account that collects your revenue, the server, the email, and the repository all live inside the platform. That is exactly why onboarding takes minutes, and exactly why leaving means untangling a company from infrastructure you never held.
The third trade is the control model. The nightly loop runs unsupervised and you read about it the next morning. For low-stakes work that is fine. For anything client-facing or money-touching, you are reviewing what already happened instead of approving what is about to.
If those three trades suit you, Polsia is a legitimate pick. If any of them does not, here is what the rest of the market offers, with each tool's own trade stated plainly.
The alternatives, and what each one trades
| Alternative | The model | The money model | The trade you make |
|---|---|---|---|
| NanoCorp | One-prompt company: agents build, launch, and operate it 24/7 with a daily CEO briefing | Free tier, Founder at $30/mo with credits, plus a 20% fee on money you withdraw | Swaps a revenue share for a withdrawal fee, and still provisions and holds your domain, payments, and infrastructure |
| AgentAGI | An org chart of role-named agents (Atlas, Echo, Nova, Forge) running 24/7 under strategy you approve | Per-agent budgets that stop spending at the limit | You govern from above like a board of directors, approving strategy rather than steering individual work in flight |
| Cofounder | Hosted agent departments across engineering, sales, marketing, design, finance, and ops | 7-day trial, Pro at $20/mo with usage included, then usage-based overage | Everything is hosted for you, approvals cover only a short list of dangerous actions, and you cannot bring your own model subscription |
| win.sh | A 24/7 autonomous loop over accounts you own, with approval gates and a morning brief | Self-serve monthly budget from $50 to $10,000 with a hard cap, no revenue share, no withdrawal fee | Autonomy-first by design: it runs before you ask and you review decisions after the morning brief |
| MakerPad | A self-running company with five tools wired in from day one, watched through a live activity feed | Free beta with welcome credits, pay-as-you-scale | The wired-in toolset is the platform's operation, running on its conventions and its subdomains |
| Task Machine | An operating layer where you direct work through chat, approve it in an inbox, and dig into tasks | Flat, predictable pricing with no cut of revenue or ad spend | More setup than full provisioning, and the control model keeps you in the loop by design |
Two of these deserve a closer look on the specific question of who keeps your money.
win.sh is the alternative that most directly answers the revenue-share objection while keeping Polsia's always-on shape. It connects to accounts you already own, Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, Notion, and more, takes no revenue share and no withdrawal fee, and gates risky moves like spend and outreach behind approvals. What it keeps from Polsia is the autonomy-first loop: it monitors around the clock, acts inside rules you set, and reports each morning. If you like Polsia's rhythm but not its terms, win.sh is the closest match, and it is honest to say its autonomous-run polish is ahead of most of this list.
NanoCorp looks like an escape from the revenue share but is really the same idea in a different place. There is no percentage of ongoing revenue, and instead a 20% fee applies when you withdraw money. The custody model matches Polsia's too, since NanoCorp provisions the domain, the payments, and the infrastructure and holds them. Moving from Polsia to NanoCorp changes where the cut lands, not whether there is one.
How to actually choose
Strip away the demos and the decision comes down to three questions.
- Who keeps the money? A 20% revenue share, a 20% ad-spend share, and a 20% withdrawal fee are all recurring taxes on your work. Flat pricing and budget-capped billing are not. Decide which side of that line you are on before comparing features.
- Who holds the accounts? Full provisioning is genuinely faster to start and genuinely harder to leave. Connecting accounts you own is slower on day one and portable forever.
- When do you find out what happened? A morning summary means reviewing after the fact. An approval gate means deciding before the send. Match this to the stakes of the work, not to your appetite for dashboards.
Polsia answers those questions with platform custody, a revenue share, and after-the-fact review, and it is the smoothest version of that bundle on the market. Every alternative above answers at least one question differently.
Where Task Machine lands
Task Machine answers all three the other way. You keep 100% of your revenue on flat pricing, with no share of revenue or ad spend and no withdrawal fee. Agents act through accounts you already own, so nothing is custodied and nothing needs untangling if you leave. And work runs through three surfaces, chat to direct it, an inbox to approve and review it, and tasks for the detailed back-and-forth, over deterministic workflows with explicit approval and verifier steps and step-level logs you can read.
The honest caveat is that Task Machine is the wrong pick for some readers of this post. If Polsia tempted you precisely because there was nothing to connect and nothing to review, an operating layer will feel like work: you bring your own accounts, and decisions that carry risk come back to you before they ship. If you want maximum absence, win.sh or Polsia itself fits that preference better. Task Machine is for the founder who wants agents running the recurring work while the accounts, the revenue, and the final say stay theirs.
