Service · vs · software

Coldiq · the agency path
  • $5-15k/mo retainer · 6-month minimum
  • Custom Slack channel · 24-72h cycle time
  • Outputs live in your tools · you don't own the engine
  • Scales linearly with headcount Coldiq hires
  • Churn risk: lose engagement, lose the playbook
ROSS · the software path
  • €499-€2.499/mo · cancel any time
  • Sara + Will + Maya + FLOW · real-time autonomous
  • You own the runtime · 9 agents · 67 skills · MIT-licensed core
  • Scales with usage, not headcount
  • Stack persists · churn = export to your own Twenty
Partnership · not zero-sum

Coldiq + ROSS · better together.

Agencies running the Coldiq methodology adopt ROSS Agency tier (€1.499/mo white-label) as their delivery platform. Same 137 signals, executed by 9 AI agents instead of 5 humans. Margin expansion 4-6x without quality loss.

90% of the playbook · 10% of the invoice.
