The baseline

Flocksy: what you'd be switching from

Flocksy's pricing page, checked October 7, 2026, prices by dedicated daily hours. 2 daily hours (about 42 hours a month) is $1,699 a month, $1,399 billed quarterly or $1,199 billed yearly, rising to 8 daily hours at $5,899 a month. Every plan has the same team of designer, video editor, motion editor and illustrator, with unlimited requests and revisions, a 14-day money-back guarantee and unused hours rolling over for 30 days. Its own site describes it as a design department, with design leading the plan.

What Flocksy does well

  • Prices published for every tier and billing cadence
  • A video editor and motion editor on every plan
  • Most work back the same business day, it says

Why buyers look elsewhere

  • Design leads the plan; video shares the hours
  • About 42 hours a month on the entry plan, across all work
  • $1,699 month to month; the lower prices need quarterly or yearly billing
  • Wanting a stated number of videos

How we chose these options.

Mark Studios is our pick, and we wrote this list. We also sell on Fiverr. No provider paid to be listed. Our row shows our published monthly plan prices; one-off projects are quoted.

Who's included
We started from the services that ranking lists and AI answers name alongside Flocksy, kept those with a public price or a clear buying model, and compared each with Flocksy's own published plans.
What we checked
Each provider's own pricing page, read on October 7, 2026: buying model, lowest published starting price and stated turnaround. Upwork's page blocks automated checks, so its fees are from September 2026. Where a provider's pages disagree, we say so. Prices change, so confirm before you buy.
How it's ordered
Grouped by type: a marketplace, design-and-video subscriptions, video editing subscriptions, dedicated-editor hours, then enterprise creative. Alphabetical inside each group. Mark Studios is listed first as our pick; the other options are not ranked against each other, and there are no scores.
