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.

SmashOne
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.
The reason it's $99/month, not $1,500.
You're not buying less. You're cutting out the retainer.
One subscription
