Evensteer is where agentic AI meets human intelligence. Our specialists handle your website, marketing, sales, leads and admin, so you do the part you’re good at. You approve every piece, and it goes out under your name. Here’s a plain answer for small business owners: what’s structurally different, with the numbers beside every claim, so you can judge it yourself.
She wrote it on a public forum. She’d stopped paying a social-media agency $2,000 a month ($24,000 a year) and found a middle ground. In her words: “It’s not a full-service agency, but it’s not just a software tool either.” A real specialist creates the work. Software keeps the schedule. She approves everything before it ships. She put her new cost with another company at about $1,900.
That is how we work too. We are where agentic AI meets human intelligence. A specialist runs the whole layer on our platform, from the website and posts to leads and follow-up. You approve everything, and it ships under your name. Agencies build and disappear. Software hands you one more login, and 54% of US small business owners still run their marketing on their own (BrightLocal, 2025). At agencies, packages start at $500–1,000 a month and climb to $5,000. We don’t sell tiers: you get a written scope with a fixed price.
If you’ve found another company that runs the whole layer and answers for it as one team, we’d genuinely like to know.
A founder recently wrote about firing her social-media agency: “They weren’t using AI as a tool. They were outsourcing their taste to it…” She went on: “I want AI to make talented people faster. I don’t want it to make mediocre work cheaper.”
She’s right, and the numbers agree. Content people merely suspect is machine-written rates 48% less trustworthy and 57% less authentic (Raptive, 2025). Suspicion alone is enough to do the damage. Your customers would read your feed the same way. That’s why nothing here ships on AI’s judgment: AI drafts. A specialist reviews. You approve. It ships under your name.
Want the receipts (named competitors, public prices, linked sources)? The full case is here. Weighing the do-it-yourself route too? Start with our low-cost marketing ideas.
Practice.do is gone. Profi is gone. The people who ran their business on those platforms lost their system overnight. So owners in this market no longer just ask “what does it do?” They ask “will you exist next year?”
Fair question. Our answer: independent, revenue-funded, a fixed price on a written scope, and your data exportable from day one. No surprise price hikes, no features quietly moved behind a higher plan, no commission on your customers. If we ever part ways, you leave with everything: your site, your list, your pipeline, your contracts.
Coming from a platform that’s shutting down, or just shaky? How switching works →
Agency packages run about $500 to $5,000 a month, and doing it yourself costs your hours instead. The basics start around $500 to $1,000, and strategy and ads push it to $2,500 to $5,000. That is the market’s price. Doing it yourself looks free, but it isn’t. One bakery owner spends 10 hours a week posting, and at $40 an hour that is about $1,700 a month of her time.
They can draft posts and emails fast, but you still have to set them up, tell them what to write and fix what they get wrong. Readers trust content less when they only suspect a machine wrote it, so someone who knows your business still needs to review each draft. At Evensteer, AI drafts, a specialist reviews, and you approve before anything ships under your name.
