Brigade vs Polsia
Polsia runs on its own and reports in the morning; you pay it a share of revenue on top of a subscription. Brigade works alongside you: teammates start on their own (an email, a failed payment, a schedule), and the App actions you choose wait for your yes. It runs on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, takes no share of revenue, and is open source.
What Polsia is
Polsia is a hosted platform whose agents plan, build, market and operate a business on their own, on a nightly cycle with a report in the morning. It is most often reported at $49 a month plus 20% of the revenue it brings, though its pricing changed several times in 2026.
