Polsia's fees in September 2026: 3% of payments, 20% of ad spend, and what is only reported

The short answer: Polsia's terms (last modified 17 September 2026, re-read on 10 November 2026) state a platform fee (currently 3%) on customer payments received through its services, a 31-day settlement period before those payments can be paid out, and a 20% platform fee on ad spend, on top of its monthly subscription with task credits. A rival's comparison page says earlier versions of the terms set a 20% fee on payments; we found no dated Polsia page about the change, so treat it as unverified.

Updated 10 November 2026: we re-read Polsia's homepage, terms and app copy. New since our first version: the settlement period, the subscription no-refund clause and the price range in Polsia's homepage structured data. The rival's claim is reworded to match what its page now says.

Disclosure: Dapols competes with Polsia. We stick to what Polsia publishes about itself, each with a link and the date we read it, and we quote no reviews. For the fuller picture, read our dated Polsia review and the Dapols vs Polsia comparison.

What the terms say

Polsia's site is a JavaScript app, so we read its facts from what polsia.com serves: its homepage, its terms page and the in-app copy. As of 10 November 2026:

• Customer payments: the terms say Polsia "charges a platform fee (currently 3%) on all customer payments received through the Services". Stripe's own processing fees are extra. The terms add that Polsia "may adjust the fee rate prospectively with notice", and that customer payments wait a settlement period, currently 31 days, before payout.
• Ad spend: a separate platform fee, "currently 20% of your budget", applies to advertising and is included in the credits deducted for your daily ad budget. The app spells it out: "80% goes to Meta for ad delivery, 20% is the Polsia platform fee."
• Plans: a monthly subscription with task credits. Polsia's homepage structured data lists 2 offers from $29 to $59 (USD, period not stated). The plan includes 5 task credits a month, and the upgrade selector in the app lists add-on tiers from 15 credits (+$19 a month) to 1,000 credits (+$999 a month). Full plan prices appear only to signed-in accounts.
• Refunds: the terms say subscription payments "are nonrefundable and there are no credits for partially used periods". When you change a plan, the app says "No refund for the current period." The terms also call committed ad spend, and platform fees on delivered ad spend, non-refundable.

What a rival says, and why we label it unverified

A comparison page from Crevio, which sells a competing product, says "Earlier versions of the Terms set a 20% fee on payments" (Crevio, read 10 November 2026). That would explain why some older posts quote a much larger cut. But the source is a competitor, and we did not find a dated Polsia page announcing the change. If you are comparing today, use the 3% figure in the terms and check the page yourself before you pay, because the terms say the rate can change with notice.

How to work out your cost

The fee on payments is a straight percentage, so you can estimate it:

That is our arithmetic from the stated 3%, before Stripe's fees and before your plan. The money also arrives later: the terms hold customer payments for a settlement period, currently 31 days, before payout. The ad fee works differently: it is part of the credits deducted when you set a daily ad budget, so ask what your effective cost per ad dollar is before you set a budget.

Then add the plan itself. Polsia's homepage structured data lists offers from $29 to $59; signed-in prices may differ, and extra credits are consumed by tasks, so cost depends on how much you ask it to do. Our Dapols vs Polsia comparison shows the month-1 and first-year arithmetic at several sales levels.

What to compare it with

Polsia is pitched at founders starting a new company and wanting software to run it, with autonomy as the point: its Auto Mode runs for a period you choose, from 1 hour to 5 days, and its terms say you remain responsible for reviewing and approving what gets published. Dapols is built for the other case, an existing business that wants an AI plan it controls. It costs $99 once, with an optional $29 a month subscription, and Dapols never touches your customers' payments. See Polsia alternatives for others.

Before you pay anyone

1. Read the live terms page, not an article, including this one.
2. Ask what the platform fee applies to: payments, ad spend, both.
3. Ask how refunds work for the month you cancel.
4. Check whether you can export your work if you leave.
