When each one wins.

An agency wins when the work is rare and the stakes are singular.

A rebrand, a flagship film, a campaign that happens once a year: craft you hire by the project. Where the agency model strains is cadence: at a reel a week, the queue and the per-asset price become the whole story.

In-house wins on context, once the seat is filled.

Nobody outside the company knows the product like someone inside it. The costs are the search (~42 days on the hiring benchmarks), the salary, and the gap between a marketing generalist and the video, design and production skills the calendar actually demands.

Kamply wins on cadence, and you keep the final say.

Production stops being the bottleneck: posts, carousels and finished reels on your own tokens, gated by checks and your approval. What it doesn't replace is strategy or taste; it assumes you bring both. See how that works on the process section or in the full cost breakdown.

Before you decide.

If yours isn't here, ask it in the walkthrough. The form below reaches a human.

Does Kamply replace an agency?

For cadence work, yes: the weekly posts, carousels and reels are the production it carries. A rare, high-stakes project like a rebrand or a flagship film is still an agency's game, and this page says so.

What does Kamply cost?

The full Mac app is $69 a month or $499 a year. Enterprise onboarding is priced at a walkthrough. The current founder pricing is shown on the pricing page.

Who approves the work?

You do, at every stop. Kamply interviews you, locks a brief, proposes labelled variants and runs its own quality checks, but nothing ships without your yes.

Are the numbers on this page real?

The old-way figures are published benchmarks from WebFX, Glassdoor, SHRM, LinkedIn, Vidico and D-MAK, printed as the ranges they are. Kamply's reel time is one timed build from June 2026, its setup time is from the setup guide, and its public subscription prices mirror the live Polar products.
