32 tools, 32 bills and 32 logins, priced for one user.
$125/mo*. All 29 apps, one bill, one login.
This is the low estimate.
Every price is for one user, billed yearly at the regular price, on the lowest plan that does the job. Add teammates, contacts or traffic, and many of these bills go up.
When one plan already does two jobs, we count it once: Teachable Builder includes a community and SamCart Pro includes an affiliate program.
Pro Max includes these too. None are in the total.
- ScalePay · An affiliate marketplace for your offers. ClickBank keeps 7.5% + $1 of every sale.
- FunnelMapper · Map and simulate a funnel before you build it.
- Team & Workspaces · Up to 15 teammates with their own logins. Every price above is for one user.
- Agent-Native · Run your apps from Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
- Pro Max · 7,500 AI credits a month for the apps above.
- Integrations · Connections to Zapier, Make, n8n and Composio.
Left out of both sides: Agency Sub-Accounts, a paid add-on, and the Plugin Store, which is in preview.
Trade 32 bills for one.
Pro Max is $1,495 a year, about $125 a month. You keep $18,042 for ads, offers and growth.

Building it yourself, answered.
How much does it cost to buy every tool yourself?
About $19,537 a year for one user. That is 32 separate tools, billed yearly at the regular price, checked November 7, 2026. Scale.gg Pro Max does the same jobs for $1,495 a year, about $125 a month billed annually, so you keep $18,042.
Why is this the low estimate?
Every price is for one user on the lowest plan that does the job. Seats, contacts and traffic push many of them higher. The total also leaves out 6 things Pro Max includes: affiliate marketplace (ScalePay), funnel mapping & simulation (FunnelMapper), team members & workspaces (Team & Workspaces), works from Claude, Codex & Cursor (Agent-Native), AI usage included (Pro Max) and Zapier, Make, n8n & API (Integrations).
Which tools does Pro Max replace?

Compare all 8 side by side.
Every platform, every capability, one grid*Pro Max is $1,495 billed once a year, which works out to about $125 a month. Pro Max is $299 a month on monthly billing. Agency Sub-Accounts are an optional add-on, billed monthly per client workspace.
Tool prices were checked November 7, 2026, from each company’s public pricing page: one user, yearly billing (twelve monthly payments where there is no yearly plan), and regular prices rather than intro deals, before taxes, card fees and usage charges. Where one plan already covers two jobs, it is counted once. Plan notes describe the plan shown in each row.
