Both are subscription design services. The differences that actually matter are structural: what "unlimited" means in practice, whether video and motion are included, whether unused capacity rolls over, and whether you can run more than one brand without jumping to the top tier.
Penji claims are sourced from Penji's public pricing page (penji.co/pricing) as of the date this page was published. Flocksy claims are what we deliver today - check our pricing page for current plans.
Penji sells 'unlimited requests' with a 1-, 2- or 3-active-project cap depending on plan. Flocksy sells a specific number of Daily Hours your team works on your brand.
The $499/mo Business plan is a low entry point. It covers 1 active project, 1 brand, no video, no motion and no web design.
Same designer, video editor, motion editor, illustrator and copywriter support every week. Hours are banked, not throttled. Multi-brand from day one. One flat bill, Cancel at the end of your billing cycle.
Eight dimensions the two subscriptions genuinely differ on. Every Penji claim below is either directly on their pricing page or framed as a question you should ask their team.
Every plan caps how many projects can be active at the same time - 1 on Business ($499/mo), 2 on Marketing & Ads ($995/mo), 3 workstreams on Agency ($1,995/mo). New requests wait until an active slot frees up.
Plans are sold in Daily Hours (2h, 4h, 6h). The team works your hours every business day - no active-project cap and no queue you have to drain before the next brief starts.
Marketed as 'unlimited requests'. In practice, throughput is bounded by the active-project cap and one-business-day turnaround. Ask: how many projects can I realistically ship in a month at my plan tier?
We don't market 'unlimited'. We sell a specific number of Daily Hours your team works on your brand - the exact capacity is on the pricing page, in hours.
The published plans do not describe a month-to-month rollover of unused capacity. Ask: if I don't fill my active slots for a week, does that capacity survive to next month?
Unused hours roll over into the next month for 30 days. A slow week is banked, not burned.
Motion graphics, animations and short-form video editing are locked to the Agency tier ($1,995/mo). Long-form video editing is listed as 'Limited' even on Agency.
Every plan includes a dedicated video editor and motion editor from day one. Short-form, long-form, reels, product demos, animated logos - same team, same bill.
Locked to Marketing & Ads and Agency tiers. Not available on the $499/mo Business plan.
Web, landing pages, presentations, illustration, print and social are all in scope on every plan - the constraint is hours, not category unlocks.
Business and Marketing & Ads plans are capped at 1 brand. Multi-brand support is Agency-tier only.
No hard brand cap in the plan tiers. If your team manages several brands, the same subscription covers them.
'Art director' is listed on every tier and 'Art Director oversight' on Agency. Ask: is that a dedicated senior on my account, or a shared quality-control role reviewing many accounts?
A Production Coordinator is included on 4+ Daily Hour plans and an Art Director on 6+ Daily Hour plans - both dedicated to your account, not a shared review pool.
Cancel at cycle end, no contracts, 30-day money-back guarantee.
Cancel at cycle end on any plan. 14-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions.
Sources: Penji's public pricing page (penji.co/pricing) as of the date of publication. Where their published plans don't describe a behaviour (rollover, dedicated art direction bandwidth), this page frames it as a question to ask their sales team rather than a factual claim.
These are the fine-print questions a buyer usually asks in month two. Ask them in month zero and you'll pick the right service the first time - whichever one that turns out to be.
Penji caps active projects at 1, 2 or 3 depending on plan. Ask them to walk you through a realistic monthly output at the tier you're pricing.
With a 1- or 2-active-project cap, most of that queue sits waiting. Ask what the actual delivery window looks like.
Their pricing page doesn't describe a rollover. If you have a slow month, is that capacity yours next month or is it gone?
'Art director' is listed on every tier, but the pricing page doesn't say how many accounts one Art Director covers. Get a name and a bandwidth commitment before signing.
Only the Agency tier ($1,995/mo) explicitly promises a 'dedicated creative pod'. On lower tiers, ask whether the person on your work will change.
Motion, short-form and animations are Agency-only. Long-form is 'Limited' even there. If video is core to your brand, ask exactly what's shipping.
The Business and Marketing & Ads plans are 1-brand only. If you or your clients have multiple brands, ask what the price is with the multi-brand tier.
Get any capacity limit in writing before you rely on the word 'unlimited'.
Flocksy plans are 2, 4 or 6 Daily Hours - a specific number of hours your dedicated team works on your brand every business day. That's the whole capacity model, written on the pricing page. No active-project cap, no queue, no fine print about what 'unlimited' means at your tier.
You get names, not tickets. Because it's the same people every week, brand fluency compounds - briefs get shorter, revisions get fewer, output looks more consistent. Penji's dedicated-pod language is reserved for the Agency tier ($1,995/mo).
Every Flocksy subscription includes a dedicated video editor and motion editor from day one. Penji locks motion graphics, animations and short-form video to the Agency tier, and long-form is 'Limited' even there. If video is core to your brand, that gap matters.
Flocksy hours roll over into the next month for 30 days. Penji's published plans don't describe a rollover, which means unused capacity on their model is gone at the end of the period.
No hard 1-brand cap in the lower tiers. If you run several brands - or a portfolio of client brands - you don't have to jump to the $1,995/mo tier just to unlock that.
Monthly plans have no term. Quarterly and annual plans exist for teams who want a discount - never as the only path to a lower price. 14-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions.
Penji rations output by how many projects can be open at once. Flocksy rations output by how many hours the team works on your brand every business day. Both are ways to size a subscription - the second one is easier to plan a month around.
Monthly hour estimates below assume ~21 US business days per month; actual delivery flexes with the calendar.
We'd rather send the wrong-fit buyer to Penji than sign them and lose them in month two. Here's the straight read.
