Best Crevio (crevio.co) alternatives in 2026
Crevio (crevio.co, Crevio, Inc., New York) describes itself as "AI that runs your small business": you describe a business, or ask it to pick an idea, and its agent names and brands it, builds the website, lists the products and sets up checkout. It can also buy the domain and form a US LLC. After launch it works a mailbox on your own domain, a phone number its AI answers and calls from, a customer list, social posts and ad campaigns on Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok and Microsoft, and it pauses for your sign-off on anything it treats as consequential. Checkout runs on Stripe and settles into your own Stripe account; Crevio says it is not the merchant of record. Axel Grubba founded it in 2025. This page is about that Crevio, not the Creatio CRM.
Read on its pricing page on 29 October 2026: Starter is free, with a 5% transaction fee, 20 AI credits a month (100 to start), up to 2 active products, one marketing email and one AI call a day. Pro is $20 a month, or $16 a month billed yearly ($192), with 1,000 credits, a 2.5% fee, a custom domain and 5 social channels. Business is $50 a month, or $40 billed yearly ($480), with a 2,500-credit allowance, a 1% fee, connected ad accounts and unlimited websites. Stripe's own processing fees come on top of every one.
People look past Crevio for three reasons: they would rather pay a flat price than a percentage of every sale; they want a team that goes deep on getting found — search, AI answers, social, ads — rather than one operator that does a little of everything; or they already sell on Stripe, Gumroad or Etsy and only need the site and the marketing around it. For those three, AgentCeres is our pick: a team of AI marketing specialists that checks your idea, builds and hosts the website and brings people to it, for a flat $15–$99 a month, with payments going straight to your own Stripe, Gumroad or Etsy account — AgentCeres never receives or holds that money. If what you want is one system that also sells and delivers the product, takes calls and forms the company, Crevio does more of that than anything below; Locus Founder is the closest like-for-like.

The shortlist
AgentCeres
Top pickAgentCeres — the AI Growth Officer — is a managed team of AI marketing specialists for SEO, GEO, social, ads and PR that also builds, publishes and hosts your website. Start from your current site, or from an idea if you have no business yet.
- Growth Officer
- Research agent
- SEO agent
- Social media agent
- Ads agent
- Influencer agent
- Launch & PR agent
- GEO agent
- Community agent
- Sales agent
Pros- A flat $15–$99 a month, with no fee on your sales or your ad spend
- No business yet? Its first reply checks who already sells something like your idea, what they charge, and suggests two or three offers to start with, each with a source link
- Builds, publishes and hosts the site, and a Buy button opens your own Stripe, Gumroad or Etsy checkout — the money never passes through AgentCeres
- Posts and outbound emails wait for your approval by default — an owner can switch on Auto mode for routine posts — and it never spends money you haven't approved
Cons- No checkout of its own: you open the Stripe, Gumroad or Etsy account and set up the product there
- It won't form an LLC, buy a domain or answer your phone; a custom domain you already own connects on paid plans
- No cold outreach; for booking meetings by email, pick an outbound tool
- Pricing:
- Free plan; $15–$99/mo flat
- Best for:
- First-time founders and small businesses who want the website and steady marketing, and keep their own checkout
Locus Founder
An AI cofounder from Locus (YC Fall 2025, San Francisco) that you drive by text — iMessage, Telegram or the web. It builds a website on its own domain, sends cold outreach from your inbox, prepares ad campaigns, keeps a CRM and wires in Stripe. The closest like-for-like to Crevio.
Pros- Customer payments settle into your own Stripe account, and you own the domain, customers and content
- Its site says nothing customer-facing — a message, an ad, a price, a charge — goes out without your explicit approval
- Outbound is built in: it researches prospects and sends from your inbox once you approve
Cons- Two fees on sales: 1% of every charge, plus 5% of monthly revenue above $1,000
- Its own pages disagree on price: the homepage says $25 a month with no trial, its FAQ (updated 23 June 2026) still says $50 after a 24-hour trial
- Per its FAQ, agent work beyond the included credit is billed at cost plus a margin of up to 30%
- Pricing:
- $25/mo or $250/yr; 1% per charge + 5% above $1,000/mo
- Best for:
- Founders who want an operator they can text, cold outreach included
NanoCorp
Describe the business you wish existed and NanoCorp's agents build and run it — website, email, checkout and ads — from Phospho Inc., backed by Y Combinator.
Pros- A 3-day trial of everything, with 15 welcome credits and no card
- Founder ($30 a month) allows unlimited businesses, and credits roll over
- Customer payments run through Stripe Connect, and its terms keep you the merchant of record
Cons- A 20% fee on withdrawals — the largest cut on this page
- Its terms say you authorise the agents' actions, ads and charges included, by creating and running a business
- After the trial, checkout, email, a custom domain and the agents pause until you pick a plan
- Pricing:
- 3-day trial; Founder from $30/mo; 20% fee on withdrawals
- Best for:
- People who want to try several AI-run business ideas at once
Gumroad
A long-running place to sell digital products, courses and memberships with no monthly fee. No AI operator — the store and checkout are yours to run.
Pros- No monthly charge: 10% + $0.50 per sale through your profile or direct links
- Gumroad has been the merchant of record since 1 January 2025, so it collects and remits sales tax for you
- Works alongside AgentCeres: the site's Buy button can open your Gumroad checkout
Cons- The biggest cut at small prices: on a $10 product, 15% goes to Gumroad before processing
- 30% per sale when a new customer finds you through its Discover marketplace
- No website builder or marketing work beyond your product pages — you bring the traffic
- Pricing:
- No monthly fee; 10% + $0.50 per sale (30% via Discover)
- Best for:
- Selling a digital product without setting up Stripe or handling sales tax
Side-by-side
| Dimension | AgentCeres | Locus Founder | NanoCorp | Gumroad |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Where a customer's payment lands | Your own Stripe, Gumroad or Etsy account | Your own Stripe account | Your business balance, via Stripe Connect | Gumroad, which pays you out |
| Monthly price | $15–$99 flat; free plan | $25 (or $250 a year) | From $30 | None |
| Fee on your sales | None (your checkout's own fees apply) | 1% per charge + 5% above $1,000/mo | 20% of withdrawals | 10% + $0.50 (30% via Discover) |
| The website | Built and hosted; your own domain on paid plans | Built on its own domain | A nanocorp.app address; custom domains on Founder | Product pages and a profile only |
| Before posts, ads and emails go out | Waits for your approval by default; Auto mode is opt-in | Waits for your explicit approval | Authorised when you create and run the business | You publish everything yourself |
What each one keeps at $1,500 a month in sales, worked through. Take 60 orders of $25 in a month, before payment-processing fees. On Crevio, Starter keeps 5% ($75), Pro costs $20 plus 2.5% ($57.50) and Business $50 plus 1% ($65) — so the cheapest Crevio plan is Starter below about $800 a month in sales, Pro between $800 and $2,000, and Business above that, on monthly billing. Locus Founder comes to $25 plus 1% ($15) plus 5% of the $500 above $1,000 ($25): $65. NanoCorp, withdrawing everything, is $30 plus $300: $330. Gumroad is 10% ($150) plus 60 × $0.50 ($30): $180. AgentCeres is $15–$99 whatever you sell, plus whatever your checkout charges — Stripe's processing on a Payment Link, or Gumroad's $180 if Gumroad is your checkout. These are illustrations from the published prices, not quotes; credits run out at different rates on each, and none of them can promise the sales.
Crevio is the widest of these. It forms the LLC, buys the domain, delivers downloads, courses and memberships, answers the phone and keeps the CRM — none of the others does all of that, AgentCeres included. The trade is depth: Crevio is one operator across the whole company, while AgentCeres splits marketing across specialists for SEO, GEO, social and ads, and has nothing to say about LLCs or phone lines. If you want the business and its marketing from one login, and a percentage of sales is fine, Crevio is a reasonable choice. Most people who sign up to AgentCeres arrive wanting the website first, which is why we start there — see starting a business from an idea for how that works with no business yet.
One thing to know when you search for Crevio. A search for its name today mostly returns "Crevio vs …" pages on Findstack, a software directory. Crevio's own About page says its founder previously founded Findstack. That is disclosed, not hidden, but it means those comparisons are not an independent review.
How we checked. Read on 29 October 2026: crevio.co (home, pricing, about, contact and its comparisons index), locusfounder.com and its FAQ, Locus's YC launch post, nanocorp.so with its pricing and terms, and gumroad.com/pricing. Crevio's pricing page shows yearly billing by default; the monthly prices are its own monthly plan figures and match its "Save $48" and "Save $120" labels. Locus Founder's homepage and FAQ quote different prices; this page uses the homepage, the newer of the two. Comparing the AI company-builders with each other?

FAQ
- How much does Crevio cost?
- Read on crevio.co/pricing on 29 October 2026: Starter is free with a 5% transaction fee and 20 AI credits a month (100 to start). Pro is $20 a month, or $16 a month billed yearly, with 1,000 credits and a 2.5% fee. Business is $50 a month, or $40 billed yearly, with a 2,500-credit allowance and a 1% fee. Larger credit allowances cost more on both paid plans, and Stripe's processing fees apply on top.
- Does Crevio hold my customers' money?
- No. Crevio says checkout is Stripe-backed and settles into your own Stripe account on Stripe's payout schedule, and that it is not the merchant of record — the seller of record is you. Locus Founder works the same way. Gumroad is the opposite: it is the merchant of record and pays you out. With AgentCeres, payments go straight to your own Stripe, Gumroad or Etsy account; AgentCeres does not receive or hold that money.
- What happens when my Crevio credits run out?
- By its pricing page, the business keeps running — the site stays up and checkout stays open — and only new AI work pauses until there is balance again. Paid plans can top up or switch on automatic top-ups. Unused plan credits carry over for one billing cycle; bought top-ups and bonus credits do not expire while the account is active.
- What's the best Crevio alternative if I already sell on Etsy or Gumroad?
- AgentCeres. Keep the checkout you have, and AgentCeres builds and hosts a website whose Buy button opens your Etsy listing or Gumroad checkout, then writes the posts and SEO pages that bring people to it. It costs a flat $15–$99 a month and takes nothing from your sales. Moving to Crevio would mean rebuilding your products on its checkout and paying its transaction fee as well.
