Polsia charges $49 a month plus 20% of the revenue it claims to generate. That second number is the whole decision. Here is what to compare instead of the feature grid.
Start with the number nobody puts in the headline
Polsia charges $49 a month plus 20% of the economic activity the platform generates, as reported in coverage of its May 2026 funding round. That second half is the whole decision.
Twenty percent of revenue is not a software price. It is a partner's cut. If the platform helps you land $40,000 in business this year, the software cost you $588 in subscription and $8,000 in participation. Run that out three years on a business that works and you have given away a line item larger than most people's entire tool stack.
Every alternative below is cheaper than Polsia the moment you succeed. That is not a knock on the product. It is arithmetic, and it is the first filter.
What Polsia actually is
Credit where it is due: this is a real, funded company doing something hard.
Polsia raised $30 million in May 2026 at a reported valuation around $250 million, backed by Sound Ventures, True Ventures, Offline Ventures, Adjacent, Tekton Ventures, Drysdale Ventures and VaynerFund. Its founder, Ben Cera, previously co-founded Future Foods at CloudKitchens. The company runs with no hired employees, which is both the product demo and the pitch.
The product deploys specialized agents across orchestration, social, email outreach, support, ads, finance, business planning, competitor research and code generation. Reported revenue is approaching $10 million annually across several thousand businesses.
So the category is real, the money is real, and the ambition is genuine. The question is not whether Polsia exists. It is whether the work it reports as finished is finished.
The complaint that appears in every single review
Read the public reviews across Trustpilot and the review roundups and one sentence repeats more than any other: tasks marked complete that never actually shipped.
The surrounding reports follow from it. Credits spent on actions that failed without telling anyone. Outreach that went out under the customer's name with the wrong details. Support waits measured in weeks. Refunds that took persistence.
The founder has been unusually candid about this in public, saying the engineering agent should be much better at building products and that the product does not work well enough for his taste, alongside acknowledging monthly churn around 50%.
That is the real finding, and it is structural rather than a bug list. An agent acted, reported success, and nothing stood between that report and the customer. There was no step that asked for proof.
Hold that thought, because it is the only thing worth comparing.
Compare this, not the feature grid
Every platform in this category has the same feature list. Agents for ads, agents for email, agents for code, a dashboard. The feature grid tells you nothing.
Four questions tell you everything.
Can it tell you the difference between attempted and done? Ask to see the record of a task that failed. If the system has no vocabulary for a partial or failed run, every status it shows you is a guess dressed as a fact.
What sends without you? Find the list of actions that reach a customer, a prospect or the public with no human in between. If that list is long, the platform's mistakes become your reputation.
Whose model keys, and whose margin? Platforms that resell you inference mark it up and have a reason to keep you from seeing the raw cost.
What happens on the way out? Your domains, your code, your contacts, your content. Exportable, or hostage.
The alternatives, and who each is actually for
If you want the company operated, with approval gates: AlexDLY. Covered below.
If you only want the app built: Lovable. Most people evaluating Polsia actually want one product shipped, not a company run. A focused builder does that better than a generalist agent swarm, and you keep the code.
If you only want engineering: Devin and similar coding agents. Narrow, honest about being narrow, priced as a tool.
If you want no vendor at all: open-source agent stacks. Self-hosted, inspectable, no subscription and no revenue share. You pay in your own time instead, which is the correct trade for technical founders who enjoy it.
If you want the same shape as Polsia: Cofounder.co is the closest competitor on positioning. Apply the four questions above to it too.
If you want none of this yet: hire one contractor for one job. Seriously. Many people reaching for an autonomous platform have one bottleneck, not twelve, and a human solves one bottleneck for one month cheaper than a revenue share solves it forever.
What AlexDLY does differently
AlexDLY is an execution layer built around one rule: a task is not done because an agent says so.
Every delegated task carries a checklist, an acceptance test, an estimate and a date its owner agreed to. The same task routes to a person or to an agent from one console, and you hold approval. Work that has only been attempted is labeled as attempted. Work that touched a real external service carries the receipt from that service.
Three structural differences from Polsia:
No revenue share. Plans start at $39 a month and the platform takes zero percent of what you earn.
You bring your own model keys. AI usage is unlimited on your own keys and you pay your provider wholesale. No inference resold at a markup, and the cost is visible to you rather than to us.
Approval sits in front of anything that reaches a person. Outreach under your name does not leave without you.
To be straight about the trade: this is slower. A system that asks you to approve things asks you to show up. If the appeal of this category is that you never have to look at it, that expectation is the thing the reviews are actually about.
Run a two-week test instead of reading another comparison
Whatever you pick, buy one month and run this:
- Give it one task with a visible outcome. A page that must be live at a URL. A post that must exist on a real account.
- Do not help it. Note what it claims.
- Go check the URL yourself.
- Give it one task designed to fail. A credential that does not work. See whether it reports the failure or reports success.
- Try to cancel and export on day 13.
Step four is the whole test. Anything can look good when it works.
What is the main drawback of Polsia's pricing?
The subscription is $49 a month, but the platform also takes 20% of the economic activity it generates. On any business that works, the revenue share becomes far larger than the subscription, and the party being paid is the one deciding which revenue counts.
Is Polsia a scam?
No. Polsia is a real company that raised $30 million in May 2026 at a reported valuation near $250 million from named institutional investors. The reported problems are about execution reliability, not legitimacy.
What should I compare between AI business platforms?
Four things: whether the system can distinguish attempted work from completed work, the full list of actions that reach a real person without your approval, whether you bring your own model keys or pay a markup on inference, and what you can export when you leave.
How is AlexDLY different from Polsia?
Three structural differences: no revenue share (plans start at $39 a month and AlexDLY takes zero percent of what you earn), you bring your own model keys and pay your AI provider wholesale, and approval sits in front of anything that reaches a person.
How do I test an AI platform in two weeks?
Give it one task with a visible outcome and verify the outcome yourself rather than trusting the status. Then give it one task designed to fail, using a credential that does not work, and see whether it reports the failure or reports success. Then try the export and the cancellation on day 13.
