A great marketing freelancer is valuable. But they have one set of skills, one timezone, and one person's capacity. Prago runs everything, all the time.
Prago runs SEO, paid ads, social, content, and PR simultaneously — every day, without holidays or sick days. One brief, infinite execution. It gets better at your brand over time, not worse.
The best freelancers have deep expertise in their niche — a great SEO specialist or a talented copywriter. But one person can't do everything, and briefing overhead can consume more time than the work itself.

Freelancers are priced per project or per hour. A blog post runs $200–$500. Social media management runs $500–$1,500/mo. A part-time CMO runs $2,000–$5,000/mo. The real cost isn't the invoice — it's the management overhead: briefing, reviewing, iterating, approving.
Prago requires one onboarding session. After that, it self-directs based on your goals and past performance. The agent reads its own analytics, revises its own strategy, and publishes without being asked.
For founders: Prago eliminates the coordination overhead that makes marketing feel like a second job on top of your actual job.
Prago Starter covers organic, social, and ads from $99/mo. No briefing overhead, no per-piece billing.
