Polsia alternatives: six AI tools that build or run a business, compared
- Published
- Updated
Disclosure: Foundable publishes this comparison and is one of the six products in it. Every fact about another product is taken from that product's own website, reviewed on November 3, 2026, and linked where it appears. Prices and terms change, so confirm them before choosing.
In short: Foundable, NanoCorp and Cofounder are the closest alternatives to Polsia: each hands the running of a business to AI. Foundable's Ted builds the website and runs the marketing, emails and posts in the background, asking first or acting on his own as you choose, and customers pay into your own Stripe account with no fee on sales. NanoCorp is the most hands-off and keeps 20% of each withdrawal; Cofounder suits founders who already direct an AI agent such as Claude or Codex. Durable fits local businesses that mainly need a website, Lindy fits teams that want help with their own work, and Replit fits people building an app.
Why people look for a Polsia alternative
Polsia's own pages set out several points worth reviewing (terms, last updated September 17, 2026, and help center):
- A 3% platform fee on customer payments, which go into your own Stripe Express account, set up by Polsia, and wait 31 days before they can be paid out.
- A 20% fee inside any ad budget it runs for you through its own advertising account. Foundable Ads keeps the same 20% of a campaign it runs for you.
- Company dashboards its terms make public by default and open to search engines, though its FAQ now says "Only you can see your company by default" (FAQ).
- Scheduled work that runs without approval for each action.
Polsia has no pricing page; its help center lists plans from $20 a month (plans). These terms suit some businesses and not others; they are the main points to compare.
The six compared
| Who approves what goes out | Where customer payments go | |
|---|---|---|
| Foundable | You, by default; Ted acts alone if you switch Run to On its own | Your own Stripe account, with no fee on sales |
| NanoCorp | The agent acts on its own; ad budget increases need your approval | The business's NanoCorp balance, with 20% kept on each withdrawal |
| Cofounder | You, when potentially dangerous actions are taken | Your own live Stripe account |
| Durable | Not stated on its website | Your connected account through Stripe, with no added fees |
| Lindy | You, before anything irreversible | Not stated on its website |
| Replit | Not stated on its website | Your own Stripe account |
Foundable
Foundable publishes this comparison. Its AI employee, Ted, builds your website, sets up payments through a Stripe account in your name, writes your posts and emails and, through Run, works on the business in the background, with each action visible to you. By default, emails, posts and website changes wait for your approval; switch Run to On its own and Ted sends and publishes them himself. Foundable is free to start, and its plans are listed on the pricing page.
Best for: owners who want the whole business handled while keeping approval over what goes out, across shops, services, creators and local businesses as well as software.
NanoCorp
"Describe the business you wish existed. NanoCorp builds and runs it," says its homepage. It builds a landing page, app, database, payments and custom domain, and its agent "prospects, emails customers, runs Meta ads, and sends daily reports." Sales are held in the business's NanoCorp balance, and NanoCorp keeps a 20% fee on each withdrawal to your Stripe account (withdrawals). It is free to start with no card required; the Founder plan, from $30 a month, keeps a business running (pricing).
Best for: founders who want the closest equivalent to Polsia's fully automated model.
Cofounder
"Cofounder lets you run an entire company with AI," according to cofounder.co. It starts with an AI roadmap, then assigns engineering, sales, marketing, design, finance and operations to agents, which your own AI agent can direct. It asks for approval "when potentially dangerous actions are taken" (cofounder.co), and payments go through your own live Stripe account (payments). It costs $40 a month per company, including $40 of credits; an AI agent subscription is billed separately (pricing), and advertising costs the spend plus 10% (ad costs). Cofounder is a different company from cofounder.ai.
Best for: founders who already work with an AI agent such as Claude or Codex.
Durable
Durable describes itself as "the complete AI business builder" (durable.com). Its websites can run a storefront to "sell items, and manage orders from purchase to fulfillment" (Sell) and take bookings, and its agents write blog posts and manage reviews. Payments are processed by Stripe, and Durable states that it adds no fees beyond Stripe's (fees). A website preview is free; the Launch plan costs $25 a month, or $22 a month billed yearly (pricing).
Best for: local and service businesses that mainly need a website that brings in customers.
Lindy
Lindy describes itself as "the AI employee that plugs into your tools, learns how you work, and takes real work off your plate" (lindy.ai). It handles recurring work on a schedule across the tools a team already uses, and says "nothing irreversible happens without your approval"; emails wait in your drafts folder. It includes $50 of free credits for 7 days with no card required, then costs $29.99 per user per month (pricing).
Best for: established teams that want help with their own work.
Replit
"Turn ideas into apps in minutes — no coding needed," says replit.com. Its Agent writes, tests, fixes and publishes software, and apps can accept payments through your own Stripe account (payments). A project published on the free Starter plan goes offline after 30 days (Starter plan); the Core plan costs $20 a month, or $18 a month billed yearly (pricing). Replit builds the software; running the business afterwards remains with you.
Best for: building an app or tool yourself.
How these were chosen
These are the products most often named when search engines and AI assistants are asked for Polsia alternatives, limited to those that build or run part of a business. Tools that only write code for developers were excluded.
Questions
What is the best Polsia alternative?
It depends on what you want to hand over and who should hold the money. For AI that runs the whole business: Foundable if you want customer payments in your own Stripe account with no fee and a say over what goes out, NanoCorp if you want the most hands-off model and accept its 20% withdrawal fee, Cofounder if you already work with an AI agent. For a local business's website and customers, Durable.
Is there a free Polsia alternative?
Foundable, NanoCorp, Durable and Lindy can all be started without payment, and Replit offers a free Starter plan. Lindy's free credits last 7 days, and NanoCorp requires its paid plan to keep a business running.
Which alternative keeps customer payments in my own Stripe account?
Foundable, Cofounder and Replit take payments through a Stripe account in your name, and Durable pays into your connected account with no fees added to Stripe's. Polsia pays into your own Stripe Express account too, one it sets up, but keeps 3% of each payment, and new payments wait 31 days before payout. On NanoCorp, payments go to the business's balance, less 20% on withdrawal.
