kigya vs Polsia: receipts beat vibes.
Polsia made the case that one human can run a company on agents. We agree. We just think the work needs to be auditable, portable, and verifiably real — not just announced.
Polsia: AI agent platform that runs an entire company end-to-end. Solo-founder narrative; opaque outputs.
Why teams pick Polsia
- Best-known autonomous-company brand with $30M Series A
- Provisions Render + Neon + Stripe + Meta Ads on day one
- Public live dashboard at polsia.com/live (we drew the same playbook)
- Brave model: $50/mo + 20% revenue share aligned to outcomes
Why teams pick kigya
- Every task has a public receipt — not just an emailed summary
- Engineering agent ships verifiable git diffs from a real sandbox
- Verifier signs off before tasks count as done
- ZIP export of everything you own — no lock-in
- Slack mirror of the chat with managed OAuth on 3,000+ tools
Where Polsia earns the credit
Polsia is the most-cited example of the autonomous-company thesis. The fact that the round itself was operated by the product set a new bar for dogfooding.
The 9-agent split (CEO, Engineering, Marketing, Ads, Support, etc.) is well-thought-out, and the nightly evaluation loop is a credible production pattern. We use a similar pattern here at kigya.
Provisioning Render, Neon, Stripe, Meta Ads, and an inbox on day one is real infrastructure work. Most agent platforms just talk about this stage.
Side-by-side
| Axis | Polsia | kigya |
|---|---|---|
| Receipts & audit | Email summary + dashboard. Multiple Trustpilot reviews flag tasks marked complete that didn't actually deploy. | kigya winsPer-task receipt page rendered from the audit log: commands run, exit codes, file diff, spend, verifier score. Public share token, revocable. |
| Engineering work | Engineering agent generates code; verification path is opaque. Reviewers report cosmetic outputs. | kigya winsPlan → Patch → Test → Ship loop in a real Linux sandbox (E2B). Final `git diff` and test output land in the receipt before the task is marked done. |
| Verifier | No documented Verifier agent. Tasks are marked complete by the same agent that ran them. | kigya winsIndependent Verifier signs off every task. Receipt shows the score (1–5) before the deliverable posts. |
| Portability | Trustpilot reviewers report no export option, not even a project ZIP. | kigya winsOne-click ZIP includes audit log, every document as Markdown, Slack deliveries, sandbox sessions, learned skills. You own it forever. |
| Slack surface | Email-first reporting. Slack is not the primary surface. | kigya winsSlack is a first-class mirror of the web chat. Approvals, deliveries, KPI snapshots, file drops, briefings — all native Block Kit. |
| Tool catalogue | Curated, vertically-integrated infra (Render, Neon, Stripe, Meta). | kigya winsPipedream Connect: 3,000+ tools, managed OAuth, tokens stay in Pipedream's vault. We never see your access tokens. |
| Pricing model | $50/mo + 20% rev-share + 20% of managed ad spend. | Per-company subscription with hard agent budgets you set. No revenue share on the work you ship. |
| Public scoreboard | polsia.com/live — the original. Founder fundraise was the demo. | kigya.com/live — opt-in, privacy-aware, every entry deep-links to a receipt. Not just a counter; an audit trail. |
| Founder story | Ben Cera, ex-CloudKitchens (Future Foods $100M rev). Solo by design after a co-founder venture failed. | Built by founders who shipped multiple growth/AI products. Kigya is the company we wish we'd had on the last three startups. |
A typical day: refund 3 customers and update HubSpot.

When Polsia is the right call
Pick Polsia if you want the most-marketed autonomous-company brand and you're comfortable with curated infra and an opaque verification path. The community sentiment on Trustpilot suggests it works best when expectations are calibrated to a v1 product running 7,000+ companies in parallel.
When kigya is the right call
Pick kigya if you want the same autonomous-cofounder loop but with receipts, a verifier, ZIP export, and Slack as the surface. Same ambition, different default: every action has to be reproducible from the audit log before it counts as shipped.

One company. One Slack channel. One per-task receipt for everything we ship.
