Polsia Alternatives That Don't Take a Cut of Your Revenue
Polsia takes 3% of customer payments and 20% of ad spend, and runs the stack itself. The honest alternatives, and what each one trades.
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 version of that pitch: "AI That Runs Your Company While You Sleep." It removes almost all setup. Its terms describe it creating GitHub repositories, managed databases, and hosted web services on your behalf, giving each company a subdomain, and running advertising, outreach, and subscription enforcement on a schedule you approve once instead of run by run.
Polsia works for a lot of founders. The reason to look for an alternative is its terms.
What you trade for the convenience
The money comes first. Polsia charges a subscription whose price is not published on its site, and its terms add platform fees on what flows through it: currently 3% of every customer payment and 20% of ad spend. You are the merchant of record, Polsia collects the payments as your agent, and you withdraw through your own Stripe Connect account. The fee on sales is small, and it still grows with every sale.
The second trade is custody. Polsia creates the repositories, databases, and hosting itself, and the company's public page sits on a Polsia subdomain that its terms let Polsia remove, with a recommendation to move to your own domain. That is why onboarding takes minutes, and why leaving takes planning.
The third trade is the control model. Advertising, outreach, and billing run on a schedule you approve in general, without a sign-off for each run. 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 | Agents build and run a company you describe, send daily reports, and take direction in chat | 3-day free trial, then Founder at $30/mo, plus a 20% fee on withdrawals | Swaps a fee on sales for a fee on withdrawals, and still provisions your domain, payments, and infrastructure |
| Tenor | Infrastructure for domain experts building AI-native service businesses, with context, workflows, governance, and learning from outcomes | Request access, no public pricing | You build a service business on Tenor's infrastructure, a bigger commitment than handing off your own company's work |
| Cofounder | Hosted agent departments across engineering, sales, marketing, design, finance, and ops | 7-day free trial, then Pro at $120/mo | Cofounder manages your GitHub, Supabase, and Vercel until you take them over, approvals cover 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 | Monthly budget from $50 to $10,000 with a cap, no revenue share | 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, watched through a live feed | No pricing published on its site | The wired-in toolset is the platform's operation, running on its conventions |
| Task Machine | A system where you decide in Chat, approve in one Inbox, and steer in Tasks | From $99 a month, 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 answers the fee objection most directly while keeping Polsia's always-on shape. It connects to accounts you already own, with Stripe, Plausible, and Google Search Console live today, charges one monthly budget you choose, 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 in Telegram. If you like Polsia's rhythm but not its fees, win.sh is the closest match.
NanoCorp moves the fee instead of removing it. Rather than a percentage of each sale, it charges 20% on money you withdraw, and like Polsia it provisions the domain, the payments, and the infrastructure. Moving from Polsia to NanoCorp changes when the platform takes its share, and the share stays.
How to choose
Strip away the demos and the decision comes down to three questions.
- Who keeps the money? A 3% fee on sales, a 20% fee on ad spend, and a 20% fee on withdrawals all grow with your business. A flat price or a capped budget does not. Decide which side of that line you are on before comparing features.
- Who holds the accounts? Full provisioning is faster to start and harder to leave. Connecting accounts you own is slower on day one and portable from then on.
- When do you find out what happened? Work scheduled on general approval means reviewing after the fact. An approval gate means deciding before the send. Match this to the stakes of the work.
Polsia answers those questions with provisioned infrastructure, fees on sales and ad spend, 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, Task Machine takes no cut, and it never custodies your accounts. Agents act through accounts you already own, so nothing needs untangling if you leave. Work runs through three surfaces, Chat to decide, the Inbox to approve and review, and Tasks to steer the detailed back-and-forth, over deterministic workflows with explicit approval and verifier steps and step-level logs you can read.
Task Machine is the wrong pick for some readers of this post. If Polsia tempted you because there was nothing to connect and nothing to review, Task Machine asks more of you: 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.
