Pricing

Sold as an engagement, not a seat.

Zway is priced per engagement rather than per user, because you are buying operator time and strategy rather than software. There are three scopes: Launch for pre-launch companies, Compound for seed-stage companies that need distribution, and Operator for multi-brand teams. Every engagement starts with a demo call.

Paid media budget is separate and goes directly to the platform. We never mark it up or route it through us.

Typical US market ranges for buying each function separately, not quotes. The salary row is base pay loaded at the BLS ratio, and the content row is a per-word rate multiplied out, so both are arithmetic on a published figure rather than a published monthly price. Checked 27 August 2026.

Median time to hire for marketing roles is 35 days, from Gem's 2026 recruiting benchmarks, measured across 1.2 million hires. Ramp time after that is widely quoted and poorly evidenced, so we do not put a number on it.

Pricing questions

Why is there no price on this page yet?
Because we would rather quote you accurately than post a number that turns out to be wrong for your scope. Pricing depends on channel count and operator allocation, both of which we set on the call. You get a firm number on that call, not a proposal a week later.
Is there a free trial or a self-serve plan?
No. There is no dashboard to trial, because the product is a team doing work rather than software you operate. The closest thing to a trial is the demo call, where you leave with the thirty-day plan we would run whether or not you hire us.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Growth work that compounds needs a runway to compound over, and channels that require account standing take longer than a month to show anything. We set the term on the call based on the channels in scope, and we will tell you directly if your goals need longer than your budget allows.
How does this compare with hiring a growth marketer?
A growth hire gives you one person's bandwidth after three months of hiring and two months of ramp. Zway gives you a strategy layer and multiple specialist operators from week one. A hire is the better call once you need someone in the room for product decisions, not just distribution.
What is not included?
Paid media budget is yours and goes directly to the platform, never through us. Anything requiring a licence we do not hold, such as regulated financial claims, is out of scope. We will also decline channels where the only way to win is to break the platform's rules.
Can we start with one channel?
Yes, that is broadly what Launch is. Be aware that single-channel programmes are more fragile: if the one channel underperforms there is nothing to rebalance into. Most companies that start with two channels end up moving budget between them by month two.
