Let us run it, or run it yourself.
Same employee, same $24 a month. The only question is who holds the accounts — us doing the setup and the day-to-day, or you keeping every key in your own name.
Either way your money never passes through us, so there is no holding period and no withdrawal limit on either plan. That is the part most of this category gets wrong.

Managed
We set everything up and keep it running. You approve things and read the report.
$24 /month
plus 15% of revenue we bring in through the company
- We create and operate the payment setup, the ad account and the mailbox for you
- We use our model keys — nothing for you to sign up for
- 15% only on money the company actually takes in. No revenue, no fee.
- 15% to run your advertising — charged on top, so your full budget still reaches the platform

- Switch to self-managed whenever you like, and take the accounts with you
First shift free, no card.
For the hands-on
Self-managed
You bring your own keys. We never touch a percentage of anything.
$24 /month
and that is the whole bill — 0% of everything
- Your Stripe account, your ad account, your domain — all in your name
- Bring your own Anthropic key and pay the model bill directly at cost
- 0% of revenue, 0% of ad spend, no fee of any kind beyond the $24
- You do the account setup and verification yourself — that is the trade
- Revoke our access at any moment and the company keeps running
First shift free, no card.
Not sure? Take Managed. Almost everyone should — the setup is the part people abandon, and you can move to self-managed later without losing anything. Choose self-managed if you already have a Stripe account and an ad account you want to keep using, or if you would simply rather own every key yourself.
About the advertising fee
Running paid acquisition well is real work — writing the creative, structuring the campaigns, reading the numbers and killing what does not convert — and we get better at it the more campaigns we run. On the managed plan we charge 15% of the spend we manage, which is what a media agency charges for the same job.
The important part is how it is charged. Our fee sits on top of your budget, so a $100 budget puts $100 of advertising in front of people and costs you $115. A fee taken off the top means your $100 buys $80 of ads and you are paying for media you never received. The best-known competitor does it the second way.
| You budget $100 for ads | With us | Fee off the top |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising actually delivered | $100 | $80 |
| Management fee | $15 | $20 |
| Total you pay | $115 | $100 |
| Cost per dollar of real advertising | $1.15 | $1.25 |
| Whose ad account | Yours. Pixel and audiences stay with you. | Theirs, shared with every other customer |
On self-managed we charge nothing on advertising, because you are running it. Either way the ad account is in your name and you can revoke our access to it in one click.
Why neither plan can hold your money
On both plans, your customer pays into your own connected Stripe account and Stripe settles our fee at the moment of the transaction. We never hold a balance on your behalf. That is not a promise about our intentions — it is a consequence of how the payments are wired, and it is why we could not impose a holding period or a withdrawal cap even if we wanted to.
The best-known competitor collects payments into a balance it controls and then limits you to $500 a calendar month in withdrawals. That limit is not malice — it follows from choosing to sit in the middle of the money. We chose not to sit there.
What a percentage actually costs
Drag to your monthly revenue. Compared against a competitor charging $20 a month plus 20% of customer payments with a $500 monthly withdrawal cap.
$10,000
| Self-managed | Managed | 20% competitor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| You pay | $24 | $1,024 | $2,020 |
| You keep | $9,976 | $8,976 | $7,980 |
| Withdrawable this month | all of it | all of it | $500 |
Their cap is a flat $500 per calendar month whatever you earned. Ours is not a number, because the money is already in your account.
