Switch from Polsia to Task Machine
A practical guide to moving from Polsia to Task Machine: keep 100% of your revenue, run on accounts you own, and review every consequential action from one Inbox.
Prefer the side-by-side comparison?Polsia and Task Machine sit in the same lane: both run a solo founder's recurring company work with AI agents. They differ on who holds the keys and who takes a share. Polsia provisions infrastructure under its own managed accounts unless you connect yours, and its terms set a 3% fee on customer payments and 20% of ad spend. Task Machine connects to accounts you own and takes no cut.
Why do people switch from Polsia?
- The fees grow with the business. A 3% platform fee on every customer payment and 20% of managed ad spend are small at launch and large at scale. Task Machine starts at $99 a month, and you keep 100% of what your business earns.
- Money waits before you can withdraw it. Polsia holds customer payments for a 31-day settlement period before payout through a Stripe Connect Express account. With Task Machine, payments go straight to the Stripe account you already run.
- Infrastructure on someone else's account. Repositories, databases, and hosting start under Polsia-managed accounts unless you connect your own. Task Machine never custodies your accounts, because agents act through the Stripe, email, and repositories you own.
- Scheduled operations without a sign-off for each run. Polsia runs ads, outreach, and subscription enforcement on a prior general approval. In Task Machine, each recurring job is a workflow, and a Human approval step holds the campaign or customer email until you approve it.

What do you give up?
Polsia is faster to start, because it stands the company up for you, while Task Machine asks you to connect accounts you already own. Polsia's scheduled operations also run without your attention. Task Machine's default keeps consequential actions waiting in your Inbox until you raise an agent's autonomy.
How does the switch work?
- Create your Task Machine workspace and connect the accounts the business needs. If Polsia created resources under its managed accounts, move the code and data you own into your own GitHub, database, and hosting first.
- Pick the playbooks that match the work Polsia was doing, such as outreach, content, support, or reporting. Each one installs the agents, workflows, and documents for that job.
- Start with a low autonomy level, so every consequential action lands in your Inbox for approval, and raise it where an agent proves itself.
- Schedule the recurring workflows you want running each week, and point the ad playbooks at your own ad accounts.
Common questions
Does Task Machine take any cut of my revenue?
No. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut, and it never custodies your accounts. Pricing starts at $99 a month with the usage you choose.
Can Task Machine run my company overnight like Polsia?
Yes, on your terms. Recurring workflows run on schedules, and autonomy levels decide how much runs without you. Work that carries risk waits in your Inbox until you approve it, and you choose where to loosen that.
Do I need to be technical to switch?
You need to be comfortable connecting your own accounts. Playbooks install the agents and workflows for each job, and agents run in the Cloud, so there is nothing to install.
