This page compares Nautis with doany, written in lowercase, the AI company builder at doany.ai. Its pitch is a single AI agent that does any job a company needs, for non-technical founders, with you keeping 100% ownership. The site lists hi@doany.ai as its contact.
If you've just searched for how to start a company with AI, you probably don't need a lot of what Nautis sells yet. If you've got payroll, you probably need more than doany lists. The rest of this page is for people in between. Facts come from doany's homepage, pricing page and how-to guide, read in October 2026.
A week of work, split by who does it
| Task | On doany | On Nautis |
|---|---|---|
| Build the product and website | The agent, without code | You or your developer |
| Daily marketing and posts | The agent, with follow-ups | You plan and approve in the social calendar, then publish from your own tool |
| Find customers and sell | The agent | You work the Leads CRM. Agents draft on request |
| Answer customers | The agent, from your policies, and it escalates exceptions | You, with Suggest reply in MailBox and an Inbox Triage routine that flags threads needing a reply. No agent answering from your policies |
| Receipts and invoices | The agent sends receipts, issues invoices on request, reminds late payers | You create them in Invoices. Overdue ones appear in the briefing, and the Invoice Chaser routine sends reminders once you approve |
| Check runway | You | Startup Health tracks it, and the briefing flags it |
| Find and manage investors | You. doany says no investors are involved in your ownership | Investor directory, fundraising CRM and readiness scoring |
| Pay and manage staff | You | Employee management with pay runs. It doesn't move money |
| Taxes and legal | You. Its guide says it doesn't handle taxes, registration or legal advice | You. Nautis isn't an accounting system and doesn't replace a lawyer |
What does doany cost?
doany starts at $0 and Pro is $25 a month as of October 2026. Neither plan is priced per seat or per company, and hosting is included. Nautis has three plans at $49, $99 and $129 a month, each with a member limit, and no free tier.
| Plan | Monthly | Companies | People | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| doany Free | $0, no card | Unlimited | 1 member | 5 a day, up to 30 a month |
| doany Pro | $25 | Unlimited | Unlimited | 100 a month plus 5 a day |
| Nautis Launch | $49 | One per organization | 5 | 1,000 a month |
| Nautis Voyage | $99 | One per organization | 10 | 2,000 a month |
| Nautis Fleet | $129 | One per organization | 25 | 2,600 a month |
doany top-ups cost $15 for 50 credits and last 12 months. When credits run out, work pauses until you top up, upgrade or get the next day's allowance, with no overage and no automatic recharge. AI features you build for your own customers draw on the same balance, which is worth watching if your product itself uses AI.
doany's pricing page compares Pro to hiring a developer, marketer, salesperson, support rep and bookkeeper, totalling $12,800 a month. Treat that as the vendor's framing. A person brings judgment and accountability that credits don't, as we discuss in AI chief of staff vs a human. The 14-day Nautis trial needs no card, and yearly plans give two months free.
Does doany ask before it acts?
Yes, for the risky actions. Its how-to guide says paid, external or hard-to-undo actions wait for your explicit approval on a card, and scheduled tasks can be paused one by one. The homepage adds that the big calls are always yours, and that pausing stops all activity until you resume. It also says doany doesn't run ads or spend your money on media.
Nautis has a similar card, from a different starting point. Each capability defaults to Ask every time, and an owner or admin can switch it to Run without asking, with a log in AI Activity. Drafts always get a card. Because more than one person can work in a Nautis organization, approval sits with owners and admins, while the member's role limits what they can see or do. doany's Pro plan allows unlimited team members, but the pages we read don't describe roles.
Solo baker, six-person agency
A home baker who wants online orders and a booking page, with no developer and little time, is doany's ideal reader. One agent builds the site, handles Stripe payments, posts daily and answers order questions from policies she wrote. At $0 to $25 a month the risk is small. Nautis would be overkill, and she'd have to build the shop elsewhere.
A six-person marketing agency is the opposite case. It has staff to pay, clients on retainers, a cash cycle to manage and possibly a partner buyout on the cap table. It doesn't need an agent to create a product. Nautis fits with a Leads CRM, expenses and invoices, burnout check-ins and a morning list of what's slipping, on the $99 Voyage plan. Firms past a certain maturity may find even Nautis too startup-shaped, and it says so in its own limits.
Between those two sits the founder who's just started selling and is hiring a first person. Our advice is to stay on the tool that's making you money until managing people and cash takes up more of your week than building does.
Why someone would pick doany over Nautis
- You can't code and don't want to hire. It builds and hosts the product and website.
- You want to try something now, for nothing. The $0 plan includes unlimited companies and AI-built websites and needs no card.
- You run several small ideas. Pricing isn't per company.
- You need customer support handled. It answers from your policies around the clock and escalates exceptions.
- You're not raising. Its pitch stresses owning everything, with no investors. You can also export everything and leave at any time.
Why someone would pick Nautis over doany, and where Nautis is weak
- You're raising money. Investor directory, fundraising CRM, deck analyzer, voice coach, data rooms, and a cap table on Voyage and Fleet.
- You have a team. Task boards, Decision Loop, team chat, recruiting, pay runs and Burnout Radar. See Nautis for startup operators.
- You rely on a lot of tools. Integrations reach 1,000+ apps, enabled for agents as a separate step.
- You want a daily read on the business. The 7:00 am briefing doesn't wait to be asked.
Nautis is weaker on everything doany is built for. It won't create a product, host a site, run support or sell by itself. It launched on Product Hunt in July 2026, so there are few independent reviews. It costs more than doany at the entry level, has no free tier, caps credits, and its breadth means specialist tools go deeper. The default of asking every time also means more reviews for you, not fewer.
Nautis vs doany, in one question
Who's doing the work today? If the answer is nobody, because it's only you and there's no product, then try doany's $0 plan this afternoon. If the answer is your team, and your trouble is knowing what's going wrong and who to pitch, try Nautis, starting from a single view of the startup.
You can test the claims cheaply either way. On doany, ask it to build something you'd really sell, and see how far the free credits get you. On Nautis, connect a calendar and email, add real numbers, and see whether the third morning's briefing tells you anything you didn't know.
FAQ
Which should a solo founder choose in Nautis vs doany?
A non-technical solo founder with no product should try doany, since it builds the site and handles marketing, sales and support from $0. A solo founder who already has customers and plans to raise may get more from Nautis, which starts at $49 a month after a trial.
How much does doany cost?
As of October 2026, doany has a $0 plan with 5 daily credits and Pro at $25 a month with 100 monthly credits plus the daily ones. Top-ups cost $15 for 50 credits. It isn't priced per seat or per company.
Does doany handle taxes or legal work?
No. Its how-to guide says it doesn't handle taxes, company registration or legal advice, though it keeps records you can give an accountant. Nautis also doesn't file taxes and doesn't replace a lawyer or accountant, so you'd need those people with either product.
Does doany run ads?
Its guide says doany doesn't run ads or spend your money on media. It handles daily marketing, content and follow-ups, and paid, external or hard-to-undo actions wait for approval on a card.
Can Nautis build my product?
No. The Nautis guides don't describe building products or websites. Nautis manages plans, fundraising, finance and team records around the product, and can act in connected tools after approval.
