Both are subscription creative services. The differences that actually matter are structural: entry price, whether you sign an annual contract, how capacity is sold, and how much of your monthly dollar goes to production vs. platform, PM and strategy.
Superside claims are sourced from Superside's public pricing page and FAQ (superside.com/pricing) as of the date this page was published. Flocksy claims are what we deliver today - check our pricing page for current plans.
Superside is priced and structured for enterprise creative teams - $15k/mo minimum, annual contract, $1k/mo platform fee. Flocksy is priced for growing teams that still need senior, dedicated creative output.
Multi-market, multi-format, high-volume creative with a bench you can flex against. You can absorb an annual commitment and a platform fee.
Same designer, video editor, motion editor, illustrator and copywriter support every week. Hours, not a wallet. Month-to-month unless you opt into a discount.
Nine dimensions the two subscriptions genuinely differ on. Every Superside claim is either directly on their pricing page and FAQ, or framed as a question you should ask their sales team.
Flex Subscriptions start at a $15,000/mo minimum on an annual term. Dedicated AI-Native Teams start at $30,000/mo on a 12-month term. Both add a $1,000/mo software fee for the Superspace platform.
Plans start at $1,199/mo billed annually. Monthly and quarterly billing also available - no platform fee, no minimum spend, cancel at cycle end on a monthly term.
All Superside subscriptions run on an annual commitment. Dedicated is a 12-month term.
Cancel at the end of your billing cycle - monthly plans have no term. Quarterly and annual exist as discounts, not as gates.
Sold as a monthly budget (dollars). Your Flex Budget is spent against creative production, project management, strategy, AI services and specialist work.
Sold in Daily Hours (2h, 4h, 6h). Your team works your hours on your brand every business day - a specific, checkable capacity commitment.
Unused Flex Budget rolls over for up to three months.
Unused hours roll over into the next month for 30 days. Different window - same principle: a slow week is banked, not burned.
Flex staffs each project from the wider bench. Dedicated ($30k+/mo, 12-month term) is 'the same people every month' trained on custom brand models.
One dedicated team from day one - same designer, video editor, motion editor, illustrator and copywriter support - on every plan. No tier gate to get the same people twice.
Creative direction and project management are drawn from your subscription budget. Ask: at my monthly spend, how many hours of senior art direction do I actually get?
A Production Coordinator is included on 4+ Daily Hour plans and an Art Director on 6+ Daily Hour plans - dedicated to your account, not billed out of your production hours.
Standard onboarding is included. A 'Quick Start' hands-on ramp-up is a separate $20,000, three-week engagement.
Onboarding is included at no additional charge and typically runs 1-2 weeks - kickoff, brand deep-dive, then your first work.
An 'Exploratory Project' - a paid, scoped engagement - is offered case-by-case as a way to sample the work before committing to a subscription.
14-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions. Try the actual model, not a scoped demo.
If you exceed your Flex Budget in a month, you can pay overages at your standard rate, or add a 'Project Booster' ($15,000 minimum) for a large one-off.
If you consistently need more, upgrade to more Daily Hours - or downgrade the month after. No overage rates, no $15k booster minimums.
Sources: Superside's public pricing page and FAQ (superside.com/pricing) as of publication. Where their published plans don't describe a behaviour (per-account senior-hour allocation, per-project scope), this page frames it as a question for their sales team rather than a factual claim.
Annual contracts have a way of surfacing questions in month three. Ask them in month zero and you'll pick the right service the first time - whichever one that turns out to be.
The subscription is a monthly budget plus a $1,000/mo software fee. If you burn through Flex Budget, overages or a $15k+ Project Booster get added on top. Ask for a modelled annual number.
All subscriptions are annual, and Dedicated is a 12-month term. Ask what happens if headcount, funding or priorities change in month four.
Creative direction is spent out of the same budget as production. The senior time you're picturing may be a smaller slice of the month than you assume.
The 'same people every month' language is used for Dedicated ($30k+/mo, 12-month term). On Flex, staffing shifts by project. Confirm which you're being sold.
Standard onboarding is included, but the hands-on 'Quick Start' AI ramp-up is a separate $20,000, three-week engagement. Ask whether the sales pitch you're seeing assumes Quick Start.
Superside's FAQ says GenAI is used in the process and 'no GenAI makes its way into a final deliverable without review and refinement by our creative teams and your consent.' Get that consent workflow in writing if it matters for your brand.
There isn't a money-back guarantee on the annual subscription. Ask what an early termination actually looks like - fees, notice, and what you keep.
Superside's Flex Subscription minimum is $15,000/mo on an annual term, plus a $1,000/mo software fee. Flocksy plans start at $1,199/mo billed annually, with no platform fee - built for growing teams that need real senior creative output without an enterprise budget.
Superside subscriptions run on an annual commitment, and Dedicated is a 12-month term. Flocksy monthly plans have no term - quarterly and annual are optional discounts, not the only path to a fair price.
Superside sells a dollar budget you spend against production, PM, strategy and AI services. Flocksy sells Daily Hours - a specific number of hours the team works on your brand each business day. It's easier to plan a month around hours than a wallet that empties as PM and strategy come out of the same bucket.
You don't have to buy the top tier to get 'same people every month'. On every Flocksy plan, you get a named designer, video editor, motion editor, illustrator and copywriter support on your account from day one.
A Production Coordinator is included on 4+ Daily Hour plans and an Art Director on 6+ Daily Hour plans. Both are dedicated to your account and don't get pulled out of your production hours.
Unused hours roll over for 30 days. New subscriptions carry a 14-day money-back guarantee - try the actual model with your real work, not a scoped 'Exploratory Project'. Unused hours roll into the next 30 days while your plan is active. Bank a slow week to power a launch week - just don't try to stockpile forever.
Superside is priced for enterprise creative teams and sold on annual terms. Flocksy is priced for growing teams and sold month-to-month. Both give you a dedicated team - the question is what commitment and what budget makes sense for where your team is right now.
We'd rather send the wrong-fit buyer to Superside than sign them and lose them in month three. Here's the straight read.
Start at $1,199/mo when billed annually, with a named designer, video editor, motion editor, illustrator and copywriter support on your brand from day one.
