Let's do the math that most AI vendors don't want to show you.

A fully staffed marketing, sales, finance, and operations organization costs between $632,000 and $1.2 million per year in salaries alone. Ellis does the same work for $26,000–$53,000 per month.

The Full Org: 49 Named Agents

Ellis isn't a chatbot with a marketing hat on. It's a structured organization with named agents, defined roles, and real API connections to your existing tools.

The Real Comparison

CMO: $180,000/yr. SEO Manager: $75,000. Paid Media: $70,000. Social: $55,000. Email: $60,000. Bookkeeper: $50,000. EA: $65,000. That's $555,000/yr for a partial list — all included in Ellis. Ellis doesn't call in sick, need onboarding, or leave for a competitor.

The Value Ladder

Start with one agent module. Bundle by department. Or deploy the full org. 49 AI professionals for less than the cost of one senior hire.
