More on the AI design agency, or weigh it against hiring a brand designer, building in-house with AI or a fractional creative director.
It depends on the work. A design subscription for simple requests. An agency for a rebrand. A fractional creative director if you have designers but no lead. An AI design agency like Unfairly for on-brand work at many sizes.

Superside’s pricing page says all subscriptions run on an annual commitment. Checked Nov 5, 2026.
Yes. Design subscriptions start well under $5,000 a month, and Unfairly starts at $5,000 a month with no annual contract. None of them match Superside’s range of video, motion and 3D.
Yes, if you will use the range. Video, motion, 3D and a large team are worth paying for when you have that much work.
Match the option to the work. One stream of requests suits a subscription. Work your team leads, that runs at many sizes, suits creatives with an engine.
We do not do filmed video or photo shoots. If video is central to your plan, Superside is the better choice.
