Polsia vs NanoCorp: Who Keeps Your Money, Who Keeps Control
Polsia takes 3% of sales and 20% of ad spend, NanoCorp 20% of withdrawals, and both run the stack. A neutral comparison, plus an option that takes neither.
Founder, Task Machine
Two platforms define the fully autonomous end of the run-your-company-with-AI market, and from a distance they look almost identical. Both stand up a business for you, keep it running, and take a percentage of your money somewhere along the way. Choosing between them means finding where they differ, because the headlines will not tell you.
Polsia sells "AI That Runs Your Company While You Sleep." NanoCorp asks you to "describe the business you wish existed" and says it "builds and runs it." Both are cloud platforms aimed at solo founders, and both provision the stack instead of asking you to connect your own. NanoCorp also claims that 96% of its businesses ship a live site, a vendor figure without an independent check.
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 a subscription whose price its site does not publish, and its terms add two platform fees: currently 3% of every customer payment and 20% of advertising spend. You are the merchant of record, Polsia collects payments as your agent, and you withdraw through your own Stripe Connect account. The fee applies as money arrives.
NanoCorp puts its percentage at the exit. After a 3-day free trial with 15 credits and no card, the Founder plan costs $30 a month for 30 credits, with larger credit tiers above it, and a 20% fee applies to money you withdraw.
Which costs more depends on your business. Polsia's 3% touches every sale, whether or not you take the money out, and its 20% touches every ad budget. NanoCorp's 20% touches only what you withdraw, but that is exactly the money you were counting as yours. A business that reinvests everything pays NanoCorp little for a while, and a business that pays your rent hands NanoCorp a fifth of it.
Who holds the accounts
Polsia's terms describe it creating source code repositories on GitHub, managed databases, hosted web services, and mobile app builds on your behalf, and giving each company a subdomain that Polsia may remove, with a recommendation to move to your own domain. NanoCorp builds a live product with a landing page, app, and database, takes payments through Stripe, and runs Meta ads, on a nanocorp.app domain during the trial and custom domains on the Founder plan. It can also start from an existing GitHub project.
The consequence is similar on both sides. The domain your customers visit and the infrastructure your product runs on start inside the platform. That is what makes minute-scale onboarding possible, and it is what makes leaving a project instead of a click.
How each one loops you in
This is the most practical difference day to day.
Polsia runs what its terms call autonomous scheduled operations. Once you switch on a feature such as advertising, outreach, or subscription enforcement, it runs on a schedule under your earlier general approval, without asking before each run, and switching the feature off stops it.
NanoCorp keeps the conversation open. Its agents build, sell, and report on their own, you steer by chatting with your agent, and a daily report keeps you current.
Neither model shows you each piece of work before it ships. In both, you deal with the instructions you gave and the results you read, and the individual outreach email or code change goes out before you see it.
Side by side
| Dimension | Polsia | NanoCorp |
|---|---|---|
| Headline | AI That Runs Your Company While You Sleep | Describe the business you wish existed. NanoCorp builds and runs it. |
| Base price | Subscription, price not published on its site | 3-day free trial, then Founder at $30/mo with credit tiers above |
| The cut | 3% of customer payments plus 20% of ad spend | 20% fee on withdrawals |
| Provisioning | Repositories, databases, hosting, and app builds on a Polsia subdomain | Product, database, domain, Stripe payments, Meta ads |
| Autonomy loop | Scheduled operations under general approval | Agents that build, sell, and report on their own |
| Your touchpoint | The features you switch on and the results you review | Chat with your agent and a daily report |
| Published proof | None on its site | Claims 96% of businesses ship a live site |

Who each one suits
Pick Polsia if you want the most hands-off version of this idea, a fee on every sale and on ad spend is an acceptable price, and reviewing results after scheduled runs is enough oversight for the stakes of your business.
Pick NanoCorp if you want the cheapest way to test whether an autonomous company can ship something people pay for. A free 3-day trial and a $30 plan make it the lowest-risk experiment in the lane, and if the experiment earns nothing, the withdrawal fee costs 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 building the infrastructure 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 a work system instead of an autonomous company: agents do the recurring work, such as marketing, outreach, reporting, and code, through accounts you already own. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut, and it never custodies your accounts. You decide 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 at 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 report. 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.
