Agency vs Picmim — common questions
How much can I save versus an agency?
Social media agencies typically charge $1,000–$5,000+ per month. Picmim starts at $12/month flat. For most small businesses that's thousands saved every month.
Can Picmim really replace an agency?
For planning and producing consistent, on-brand content, yes — Picmim's AI writes your posts and you approve them by swiping. For bespoke creative strategy and fully hands-off management, a traditional agency still has a role.
Do I have to write briefs or wait for revisions?
No. Picmim learns your brand from your website and generates content on demand. You review and approve in seconds — no briefs, no revision rounds, no waiting.
Do I keep control of what gets posted?
Always. Nothing publishes without your approval — you swipe to approve each post before it goes live.
