DoAny pricing | 3-day trial, no card, 15 welcome credits once per account. Then the shop goes dormant: checkout, custom domain, email and agents pause. NanoCorp pricing |
| Paid entry | Pro from $25 a month: 100 monthly credits plus 5 daily credits, and your own domain. $1 buys 4 credits. You don’t need Pro to sell. | Founder from $30 a month for 30 credits. Every tier is $1 a credit, up to $2,000 for 2,000. Plans and credits |
| Cut of your sales | 0%: no platform fee, revenue share or equity. Stripe’s fees apply. DoAny Terms | 20% of every withdrawal, including monthly-plan renewals. Withdrawals |
| Where customer money lands | Your own Stripe account, as direct charges. DoAny never holds it. DoAny payments docs | A US-dollar balance in a NanoCorp-managed Stripe account until you withdraw (withdrawals; NanoCorp FAQ). |
| Selling subscriptions | Weekly, monthly or yearly plans on the checkout of your DoAny site, which has no coupons or free trials at the moment. | Monthly only, sold behind “Sign in with NanoCorp.” No yearly plans, free trials or seats. Monthly plans |

| At zero credits | Work pauses and DoAny tells you. The site stays live. No overage, no automatic recharge. Run it solo | The agent stops and says so. Optional auto top-up, off by default, can recharge your card twice a day. NanoCorp blog; plans and credits |
| Who approves what | Approval cards before payments, paid video renders, new recurring jobs, account connections, automations and code packages. | Creating and running a business authorizes its agents’ actions, including ad spend (Terms, section 8). A budget raise still needs your OK on a card (advertising docs). |
| Paid ads | None. No ad account, no media spend. | One Meta traffic ad per business, $3 to $150 a day from credits. Advertising docs |
| Custom domain | Pro: connect a domain you own; DoAny issues and renews HTTPS. Free sites use yourname.doany.site. It doesn’t sell domains. DoAny domains docs | Founder: buy one in-app (NanoCorp holds it for you) or attach your own. Released while the shop is dormant. NanoCorp domains docs |
| Code and data | Code and Data views in the dashboard. Export code and data, and sync code to GitHub (DoAny homepage FAQ). DoAny imports the code and records you bring. | GitHub access from $120 a month (GitHub access). No self-serve database export, no self-hosting (NanoCorp FAQ). |
| Your data and visibility | DoAny doesn’t train AI models on your data. | Public by default: revenue and email subject lines show on its live feed; private on request (NanoCorp FAQ). Its privacy policy doesn’t say whether customer data trains AI models. |
Four differences that change your month
Each customer payment is a direct charge on your own Stripe account, on the $0 Free plan as on Pro, so DoAny never holds the money and takes 0%; Stripe’s fees still apply (DoAny payments docs). On NanoCorp the sale waits in a platform balance until you withdraw it, minus 20% (withdrawals). On $1,000 a month in sales, at least $156 more reaches you on DoAny (see the fee table).
Turning on payments, a paid video render, a new recurring job or a new account connection waits on an approval card with a button; typing “yes” in chat doesn’t count. After launch, Annie’s changes wait on a private preview until you press Publish. When credits run out, DoAny pauses and tells you: no overage, no automatic recharge, no ad spend. Your most expensive month is the plan plus the top-ups you chose to buy (how DoAny stops).
NanoCorp’s growth engine is prospecting, email and Meta ads (NanoCorp homepage). DoAny’s is being found: one switch in the SEO & AEO panel adds page titles and descriptions, social tags, structured data, a sitemap, robots.txt and an llms.txt, prerenders pages for crawlers, and submits your sitemap to Google Search Console. After launch Annie posts every day, follows up with people who show interest and answers customers around the clock (DoAny homepage). Nobody can promise rankings.
The Code and Data views show every file and every record. You can export your code and data and walk away, and sync your code to GitHub. On NanoCorp, repository access starts at the $120 plan (GitHub access), and the FAQ says database export is “not available as a self-serve action” (NanoCorp FAQ).
Where NanoCorp leads
If one of these is why you chose NanoCorp, it can outweigh the fee.
NanoCorp runs one Meta ad per business at $3 to $150 a day, paid from credits (advertising docs), and you don’t need an ad account of your own (NanoCorp ads page). The first ad is made at a $0 budget, so you see it before any ad spend moves (making the ad itself uses credits). The agent can lower the budget on its own but can only propose a raise, on a card that expires after seven days. DoAny doesn’t run ads at all.
Once a day the agent reads the day’s visits, sales, credits and your messages, does the most useful thing and closes with a digest (NanoCorp blog). A business started from the CLI begins with daily check-ins on (CLI docs). If you want work done without being asked first, that is the product.
On the $30 plan you can buy a domain inside NanoCorp, paid by card at its yearly price, with no DNS work. It comes with email: the business sends from hello@yourdomain, and every address at the domain reaches your inbox (NanoCorp domains docs). DoAny connects a domain you already own and doesn’t sell domains.
NanoCorp’s monthly credits roll over between billing periods, and top-up credits roll over indefinitely and survive cancellation, on a flat $1-a-credit ladder up to $2,000 a month (plans and credits). DoAny’s monthly credits expire at the end of each billing month.
An npm CLI adopts code you already have with “nanocorp init,” and Claude Code or Codex can then build through it (CLI quickstart). DoAny imports existing code too, but it is made for founders who don’t code: you change things by chat, and there is no visual editor.
NanoCorp publishes live platform figures (businesses started, live sites, revenue earned in the last 30 days and all-time) and a public leaderboard of its top earners by revenue (live dashboard). It is backed by Y Combinator and counted 18,084 founders on September 25, 2026 (NanoCorp homepage).
Arithmetic on published prices
Fees are the one part of this comparison you can calculate exactly. The table uses a $20 product and Stripe’s US card rate of 2.9% + 30¢ per sale on DoAny (Stripe pricing). NanoCorp’s docs don’t say whether card fees come out before your balance is credited, so its column is the best case.
Swipe to compare every column.
| Monthly sales | NanoCorp keeps (20%) | Reaches you on NanoCorp, at most | Stripe’s fees on DoAny | Reaches you on DoAny |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $200 (10 sales) | $40 | $160 | $8.80 | $191.20 |
| $1,000 (50 sales) | $200 | $800 | $44.00 | $956.00 |
| $5,000 (250 sales) | $1,000 | $4,000 | $220.00 | $4,780.00 |
At $1,000 a month the gap is at least $156 a month, or $1,872 a year. For a Stripe account outside the US, NanoCorp’s docs put Stripe’s conversion and cross-border fees at about 2.25% of the 80% (withdrawals); on $800 that leaves about $782 (our arithmetic). DoAny sales in other currencies pay Stripe’s own international-card and conversion fees too.
Add the plan each one needs to keep selling. NanoCorp’s checkout pauses when the trial ends, so a month of sales needs the $30 Founder plan (NanoCorp pricing): at $1,000, at most $800 − $30 = $770 reaches you. DoAny’s Free plan takes real card payments for $0: $956 − $0 = $956, or $956 − $25 = $931 on Pro if you want your own domain or more credits. That is at least $186 a month more on DoAny Free, and $161 on Pro.
Memberships make the gap recur. A $29-a-month membership with 40 members renews at $1,160 a month. On NanoCorp each renewal pays 20%: $232 a month, $2,784 a year (monthly plans). On DoAny the platform fee is $0.
The founding turn that ships the landing page costs about 9 credits and the full product build about 20, so the $30 plan’s 30 credits cover one launch; the trial’s 15 cover the founding turn but not the build. After that, each chat message and each daily run costs about 3 to 12 credits (plans and credits; NanoCorp blog). Thirty daily runs use 90 to 360 credits: $90 to $360 a month at $1 a credit, before ads.
Free can already go live and sell; taking payments uses no credits. Pro at $25 adds 100 monthly credits, and its 5 daily credits have no monthly cap, so a 30-day month holds up to 250 (DoAny pricing). A DoAny credit costs $0.25 and a NanoCorp credit $1, and they don’t buy identical work. What you can compare is the bill: on DoAny it is the plan you pick plus any top-up you start yourself, and nothing recharges.
On September 25, 2026 NanoCorp’s live dashboard showed $14.2K earned all-time by businesses on the platform and $1,582 in the last 30 days (live dashboard). In its July Revenue Race, 5 of 195 companies made money, and its editors concluded that “getting a stranger to pay is the game” (changelog). That is why DoAny researches your idea and market before it builds, then works on getting you found without paying for ads (DoAny homepage; get found online).
The flow that decides this matchup
Sales credit a US-dollar balance in NanoCorp’s managed Stripe account (NanoCorp FAQ). Your first withdrawal request creates a Stripe Connect Express account and asks for ID and bank details. NanoCorp keeps 20%, and one withdrawal can be open at a time (withdrawals). Since July 9, amounts up to $200 pay out on their own after a short safety window (changelog).
Each payment is a direct charge on your Stripe account. You set up no API keys or webhooks, taking payments uses no DoAny credits, and DoAny adds no settlement delay, minimum or cap.
Tell Annie what you sell: a product, a booking, tickets, a credit pack or a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription. Before she adds payments she shows an approval card with two buttons, “Set up payments” and “Not now.”
The editor preview takes Stripe test cards before you give Stripe anything. Your published site takes no payments until you go live; anyone who tries is told the shop isn’t open yet (DoAny payments docs).
In Dashboard, Payments, choose Go live, pick your country and complete Stripe’s own verification. Go live works on Free too: you don’t need Pro to take real payments. Sole traders can sell, and businesses registered in 42 countries can go live, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia and every EU country.
Checkout shows your business name, and on new apps it sits inside your own page. Shoppers buying a product can pay as guests. If you later change a price, existing subscribers keep the price they signed up at.
The Payments panel shows orders and payouts. Refunds and disputes open in your Stripe Express dashboard, and Stripe pays out to your bank on its normal schedule.
The full walkthrough, from first product to first payout, is in the sell online chapter. Checkout on the sites DoAny builds is Stripe only at the moment, doesn’t handle sales tax or VAT, and can’t connect an existing Stripe account yet.
Who can spend what, and how you stop it
Swipe to compare every column.
| Question | DoAny | NanoCorp |
|---|---|---|
| How recurring work starts | A new recurring job starts only after you approve its card. | A business runs on its own once a day (NanoCorp blog); a CLI start has daily check-ins on (CLI docs). |
| How you stop it | Stop Annie mid-task with one click. Pause a recurring task from its page or by asking Annie. | Turn Daily Run off, which the FAQ calls “the only way to stop autonomous work.” Telling the agent to stop doesn’t; a running task finishes (NanoCorp FAQ). |
| What changes your live site | After the first version, changes land on a private preview. The live site changes only when you press Publish. A failed build never replaces the working version. | Its agents act for you, “such as publishing websites and content” (Terms, section 8). The daily run “decides the single most useful thing to do, does it” (NanoCorp blog). |
| Chatting | Uses credits too; usage history shows what each conversation cost. | Every message is a billed turn of about 3 to 12 credits, even after you stop autonomy. NanoCorp FAQ |
| At an empty balance | Work pauses; the site stays up. | The agent stops. NanoCorp’s FAQ also warns that if several businesses sat at zero, queued work can use up a fresh monthly grant quickly when it arrives (NanoCorp FAQ). |
| Automatic card charges | None. Each top-up is a checkout you start. | Optional auto top-up, off by default: below 4 credits it buys a 10- to 100-credit bundle, at most twice per UTC day (up to $220). Plans and credits |
| Ad spend | None. | Up to $150 a day from credits, about $4,500 over 30 days at the cap. Advertising docs |
| Refunds | For a refund, contact support. Only successful AI calls use credits. | “All sales are final.” Completed turns are billed, with no goodwill credits. Refund Policy; billing policy |
Renewals pay the fee too. Monthly plans are sold behind “Sign in with NanoCorp,” so each subscriber creates a NanoCorp account, and every paid month lands in your balance “exactly like a sale,” with the same 20% (monthly plans).
A refund can cost more than the sale netted. A refund or chargeback deducts “the full gross amount, including any platform fee already applied” (Terms, section 4(b)).
Its documents disagree on ad billing. The docs bill ads from credits at $3 to $150 a day (advertising docs). The public ads page and Terms section 2 still say your card, separately from credits, and the page starts at $15 a day (NanoCorp ads page; NanoCorp Terms). The July 2 changelog records the move to credits (changelog).
On data: NanoCorp’s Privacy Policy covers “agent configurations and execution logs” and lists “to improve and develop new features” among its uses; it doesn’t mention AI model training (NanoCorp privacy policy). Its nano 1.5 post says agent runs become “the training set for the harness that ships next,” meaning NanoCorp’s own agent software (nano 1.5). DoAny doesn’t train AI models on your data.
If you already run a NanoCorp business
Set up the replacement before you switch anything off. NanoCorp holds your balance, your subscribers’ logins and possibly your domain, so the order matters.
Repository access needs the $120 plan for one month (GitHub access). Database export isn’t self-serve, so ask support for your records before you cancel (NanoCorp FAQ). Nothing on NanoCorp changes yet.
Bring your exported code and database records; DoAny imports them, so you don’t start over. If you skip NanoCorp’s $120 month, bring the records and describe the rest to Annie. Run checkout in the preview with Stripe test cards.
In Dashboard, Payments, press Go live and complete Stripe’s verification; it works on the Free plan. DoAny opens a new Stripe account for your business, and from then on new sales land in it. Upgrade to Pro ($25) only for your own domain or more credits.
A domain bought inside NanoCorp is held on your behalf; ask NanoCorp support to transfer it to your registrar (NanoCorp domains docs). Then, on Pro, connect it in DoAny’s Domains panel and add the DNS records it shows, with any Cloudflare proxy turned off.
NanoCorp subscriptions run through NanoCorp sign-in, so each member subscribes again on your new checkout. Then cancel their NanoCorp plans yourself: closing checkout, or letting your NanoCorp plan lapse, stops new sign-ups only, and current subscribers keep paying (monthly plans).
Turn Daily Run and auto top-up off so two systems don’t email the same people, and set any running ad to $0 so it stops spending credits (advertising docs). Withdraw the balance (20% applies), then cancel. The plan runs to the end of the billing period, with no refund for the rest of it (plans and credits).
The NanoCorp alternatives guide compares five options by price, cut of sales and what you can take with you. For the closest autonomous alternative, see DoAny vs Polsia.
Common questions
Yes. NanoCorp keeps 20% of every withdrawal from your business balance, and each renewal of a monthly plan you sell pays the same 20%. On $1,000 of sales, that is $200. DoAny takes 0% of your sales on every plan, and customers pay straight into your own Stripe account; Stripe’s processing fees still apply. DoAny’s $0 Free plan can go live and take real card payments, so you don’t need a paid plan to sell.
On NanoCorp, sales land in a US-dollar balance held in a NanoCorp-managed Stripe account, and its FAQ says you don’t have a dedicated Stripe account or dashboard. A Stripe Connect Express account is created the first time you request a withdrawal, and only one withdrawal can be open at a time. On DoAny, each sale is a direct charge on your own Stripe account, checkout shows your business name, and Stripe pays out to your bank on its normal schedule.
Both stop work at an empty balance. DoAny pauses and tells you, with no overage or automatic recharge, and your site stays live because hosting doesn’t use credits; add a top-up, upgrade, or wait for tomorrow’s daily credits. NanoCorp’s agent stops too, but an optional auto top-up, off by default, can charge your card up to twice a day.
Code, yes, on plans of $120 a month or more, as a collaborator on a NanoCorp-managed GitHub repository; below that tier there is no repository access. NanoCorp’s FAQ says you can’t fork the project to run on your own infrastructure, and database export is not a self-serve action. Whatever you do get out, DoAny imports: bring your exported code and database records and you don’t start over. Subscribers still sign up again on your new checkout.
By default, yes. NanoCorp says every business on it is public, and its live feed shows each business’s revenue and the subject lines of the emails its agents send. Its FAQ says you can make a project private by contacting NanoCorp.
No. DoAny has no ad account and never spends your money on media. It works on getting you found without ads: search and AI-answer visibility, daily posting and outreach. If paid Meta ads are central to your plan, NanoCorp runs them for you from $3 a day; its docs bill ads from credits, though its Terms still say your card.
Source record
NanoCorp here is nanocorp.so, operated by PHOSPHO INC., not the network-security company at nanocorp.ai. Two of its documents conflict: its FAQ answers “Not at the moment” on subscription services while the Monthly plans doc sells them, and its GitHub guide calls bringing in an existing project “not a supported self-serve flow today” while the CLI’s “nanocorp init” adopts one; we follow the more specific doc. DoAny statements without a link describe our own product first-hand.
