Polsia vs NanoCorp: Who Keeps Your Money, Who Keeps Control
Polsia takes 20% of revenue, NanoCorp takes 20% of withdrawals, and both hold your accounts. A neutral comparison, plus the option that takes neither.
Founder, Task Machine
Two platforms currently define the fully autonomous end of the run-your-company-with-AI market, and they look almost identical from a distance. Both stand up a complete business for you, run it around the clock, report back on a schedule, and take a percentage of your money somewhere along the way. Choosing between them means finding where they actually differ, because the headlines will not tell you.
Polsia sells "AI that runs your company while you sleep." NanoCorp sells "One prompt. One company. Zero code." Both are cloud platforms aimed at solo founders, both provision the stack rather than asking you to connect anything, and both have founder-reported traction worth taking seriously: Polsia's founder reports roughly $1M ARR about thirty days after launch, NanoCorp reported 190+ companies created on launch day with a claimed 96% ship rate. All of those numbers are self-reported, and Polsia's vary across sources, but neither platform is vapor.
The real differences are in three places: how each one gets paid, what each one provisions, and how each one loops you in.
Who keeps your money
Polsia charges around $49 a month, priced near break-even, and makes its real money on a 20% share of your business revenue, routed through a Stripe account Polsia controls, plus 20% of the ad spend it manages. The cut applies as money arrives. Polsia frames it as alignment: you own 100% of what it builds, and it earns only when you do.
NanoCorp inverts the shape. Entry is cheap or free, a free-forever tier with three lifetime credits and a Founder plan at $30 a month with rolling credits, with credit tiers scaling up from there. The percentage appears at the exit instead: a 20% fee on money you withdraw.
Which is worse depends entirely on your business. A revenue share taxes every euro as it is earned, whether or not you ever take it out. A withdrawal fee taxes only what you pull into your own pocket, but it taxes exactly the money you were counting as yours. For a business that reinvests everything, NanoCorp's shape costs less for a while. For a business that pays your rent, both models converge on the same fact: a fifth of your money has a platform's name on it.
Who holds the accounts
Polsia's provisioning is the deepest in the market. It stands up the servers, the database, the email, the Stripe account, and the code repository itself, so there is genuinely nothing to connect. NanoCorp provisions a comparable surface from a single prompt: a live product with landing page, app, and database, a deployed domain (a nanocorp.app subdomain on the free tier, custom domains on paid), Stripe payments, and Meta ad campaigns.
The custody consequence is the same on both sides. The domain your customers visit, the account your revenue lands in, and the code your product runs on live inside the platform. That is what makes minute-scale onboarding possible, and it is what makes leaving a project rather than a decision. Neither platform is hiding this. It is the design.
How each one loops you in
This is the most practical difference between them day to day.
Polsia runs an unsupervised nightly loop. Its agents decide what to work on, execute overnight, and you get a morning summary email. You steer by replying and by chatting with the AI CEO agent during the day. The rhythm is review-after: the work happened, then you read about it.
NanoCorp runs continuously and structures control as a reporting line. An AI CEO handles execution and reports to you, you set the mission and approve major decisions in plain language, and a daily CEO briefing keeps you current. NanoCorp is explicit that this is "not a chatbot or task manager." The rhythm is closer to governance: you are the founder the CEO answers to, consulted on the big calls, briefed on the rest.
Neither model shows you the work in flight. In both, the unit you interact with is a summary and the occasional major decision, not the individual outreach email or the specific code change before it ships.
Side by side
| Dimension | Polsia | NanoCorp |
|---|---|---|
| Headline | AI that runs your company while you sleep | One prompt, one company, zero code |
| Base price | ~$49/mo, near break-even | Free tier, Founder $30/mo, credit tiers above |
| The cut | 20% of revenue plus 20% of managed ad spend | 20% fee on withdrawals |
| Provisioning | Servers, database, email, Stripe, repository | Product, database, domain, Stripe payments, Meta ads |
| Autonomy loop | Unsupervised nightly run | 24/7 execution under an AI CEO |
| Your touchpoint | Morning summary email, chat with the AI CEO | Daily CEO briefing, approve major decisions |
| Reported traction | Founder-reported ~$1M ARR in ~30 days | Founder-reported 190+ companies on launch day |
Who each one suits
Pick Polsia if you want the most hands-off version of this idea that exists, you are comfortable with a fifth of your revenue plus a fifth of managed ad spend as the ongoing price, and a morning email is enough oversight for the stakes of your business. It is the more proven of the two on revenue, with the caveat that the numbers are the founder's own.
Pick NanoCorp if you want the cheapest possible way to test whether an autonomous company can ship something people pay for. Three free lifetime credits and a $30 plan make it the lowest-risk experiment in the lane, and if the experiment fails, the withdrawal fee on nothing is nothing. It suits builders treating this as a portfolio of cheap attempts more than a primary income.
Walk away from both if either of these is a dealbreaker: a platform holding the accounts your business runs on, or a percentage of your money leaving with someone else.
The third option: neither cut nor custody
That dealbreaker is common enough that a different shape of product exists for it. Task Machine is an operating layer rather than an autonomous company: agents do the recurring work, marketing, outreach, reporting, code, but through accounts you already own, on flat pricing that takes no share of revenue, ad spend, or withdrawals. Control is the product rather than the compromise. You direct work in chat, approvals and exceptions land in one inbox before the risky step happens, and recurring work runs as deterministic workflows with verifier steps and logs you can read.
The honest trade is that Task Machine sits on the opposite end of the setup spectrum from both platforms in this comparison. You connect your own accounts instead of typing one prompt, and you stay in the loop on decisions that carry risk instead of reading a briefing. If the entire appeal of Polsia and NanoCorp for you is absence, Task Machine will feel like presence, and one of the two above is the truer fit.
