Two real options

Both can work. One costs 15× less.

An SMM agency

People do it for you. Full service. Typically €1,500–€5,000/month on a retainer. Great if you want hands-off — and can carry the invoice.

€1,500–€5,000/month

SmashOne

You stay in control with an AI teammate doing the heavy lifting. €99/month, always on, your accounts and data stay yours.

Your accounts and data stay yours — export and leave anytime.

Agencies vary — some are excellent. This compares typical small-business retainers, not any specific agency.

Your accounts. Your data. Your call.

  • Your Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram accounts stay in your name — SmashOne connects to them, it doesn't take them.
  • Your customer conversations and CRM records live in your cabinet — export them whenever you want.
  • Export your data and delete your account for real — no hostage assets, no exit fees.
  • You approve the voice and the posts — the AI works for you, not the other way around.

The owner stays in charge. That's the whole point.

What a year actually costs

The math, plainly.

A typical SMM agency
€18,000–€60,000 / year
at €1,500–€5,000/month
SmashOne (base, self-signup)
€1,188 / year
12 × €99 — one subscription

That's roughly €16,812 to €58,812 saved in year one — and you keep control.

Reclaim 20+ hours a week — for about what one agency hour costs.

These are self-signup base totals — 12 × €99, no one-time setup helper fee. If a setup helper configures everything, the one-time €199 setup applies on Day 15 after setup work.

The reason it's €99/month, not €1,500.

You're not buying less. You're cutting out the retainer.

One subscription

Everything to run it yourself.

€99/month

Everything you need to run it yourself, included.

Facebook + Instagram + Telegram + AI assistant (1,000 replies/mo).
Add WhatsApp, TikTok, or Google Business Profile anytime.

Self-signup has €0 setup. Automator-led setup adds €199 on Day 15 after setup work — nothing during your 14-day trial.

14-day money-back on the base subscription. Setup work fees are refundable before work is performed and non-refundable once performed.
