Flocksy review 2026: what the plans include and what they cost
Flocksy sells creative work by the hour rather than by the task. You pick a number of dedicated hours per business day, a fixed team of a designer, video editor, motion editor and illustrator works your queue inside those hours, and every minute is logged in the portal. Plans start at $1,199 a month billed annually, or $1,699 month to month. Published monthly plans top out at $5,899 for 8 daily hours.
This review sticks to what Flocksy publishes on its own site, read on September 23, 2026, plus our view on who the model fits. Hatchwise sells per contest design, so treat the alternatives section as our own interest declared up front.

Every published Flocksy plan, annual and monthly
Hours are the unit. A daily hour is one hour of your team's time every business day, so two daily hours is about 42 hours a month across roughly 21 business days. The published starting price uses annual billing. Quarterly and month-to-month pricing are shown for comparison.
| Plan | Hours a month | Monthly | Billed quarterly | Billed annually | Included roles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Daily Hours | 42 | $1,699 | $1,399 | $1,199 | Dedicated creative team |
| 3 Daily Hours | 63 | $2,399 | $1,899 | $1,699 | Dedicated creative team |

Prices read from flocksy.com on September 23, 2026. Billed monthly, quarterly or annually. Annual billing saves 29% or more, quarterly 18% or more, against the month-to-month rate. An Art Director is included from 6 daily hours, and available as a $950 a month add-on on smaller plans. The two largest plans are sold through a demo rather than self checkout, and monthly hours shift slightly with the calendar.
What happens after you pick a plan
- Step 01
Onboarding
You set up your account and Brand Profile so the team has your logos, fonts, colours and voice notes before the first brief. From 4 daily hours a Production Coordinator traffics the work, and from 6 an Art Director reviews it.
- Step 02
Specialists matched
You are assigned a designer, video editor, motion editor and illustrator, with copywriter support. They stay on the account, so brand knowledge accumulates instead of resetting with each ticket.
- Step 03
Briefs and Brand Profiles
Requests start in the portal, with AI Assist available to help write the brief. Each brand gets a Brand Profile holding logos, fonts, colours and voice notes, so the team is not asking for assets on every request.
- Step 04
Work, feedback, delivery
Your team works the queue inside the hours you bought, and every minute is logged in the portal. Feedback runs in the portal, with Frame.io for video review, and comms through Slack, Microsoft Teams or Monday.com. Revisions are unlimited.
What the hours can be spent on
Flocksy is design-led, so the bulk of the work is design, video, motion and illustration, with copywriter support alongside it. Because you buy hours rather than a service list, a design only account pays the same as one spreading the same hours across video and motion.
- Graphic design and branding
- Video editing
- Motion graphics
- Illustration
- Web and digital design
- Presentation design
- Social media and ad creative
- Print collateral
- Copywriter support alongside the design work
Pros and cons
What works
- You buy capacity, not a queue position. Daily hours are a number you can plan a week around, and the hours are logged to the minute.
- Rollover means a slow week is not money burned. Unused hours roll over for up to 30 days while the plan is active, so capacity banks rather than burns.
- The same creatives stay on your account, so you stop re-explaining brand basics on every brief.
- Revisions are unlimited, so a brief that needs three passes costs hours rather than a new fee.
- Design, video editing, motion graphics and illustration all draw from the same hours, so you are not buying a separate subscription per discipline.
- Senior roles are included rather than quoted separately: A Production Coordinator is included from 4 daily hours and an Art Director from 6. An Art Director is included from 6 daily hours, and available as a $950 a month add-on on smaller plans.
- Billing is flexible. Billed monthly, quarterly or annually. Annual billing saves 29% or more, quarterly 18% or more, against the month-to-month rate.
- Flocksy publishes a 14 day money-back guarantee if the fit is wrong.
What to weigh first
- The $1,199 starting rate requires annual billing, and month to month is $1,699. Both sit well above task based subscriptions that begin near $149, because you are buying dedicated hours rather than a slot in a queue.
- Hours are the real limit. 2 daily hours is 42 hours a month, so a heavy campaign month can outrun the plan and push work into the next cycle.
- Value depends on your volume being steady. If you go weeks without briefs, rollover only cushions 30 days of it.
- Nothing is guaranteed in writing on speed. Same business day is what Flocksy publishes as typical, not a contractual turnaround.
- The two largest plans are sold through a demo rather than self checkout, so the top of the ladder takes a call.
- It is the wrong shape for one off work. A single logo or one brand identity does not need a monthly subscription.
- Flocksy is design-led. Copy is support alongside the design work, so a copy-first programme belongs elsewhere.
The volume that makes hours cheaper than tasks
Flocksy fits a company sending creative work every week across more than one discipline: ads that need resizing, a deck before a board meeting, a product video, an illustration set, a landing page. At that cadence the coordination cost of a freelancer stack is the real expense, and a dedicated team that already knows the brand removes most of it. Four daily hours is 84 hours a month at $3,099 month to month, or $2,199 billed annually, with a Production Coordinator running the queue.
It fits poorly if your work is lumpy or occasional. A single logo, one website or one campaign a year does not justify a monthly plan, and rollover only carries thirty days of an unused plan. If you send one or two simple graphics a month, a task based subscription starting near $149 will cost less. If you want one strong concept rather than a stream of output, a per project brief is the cheaper shape.

Flocksy review FAQs
What is Flocksy?
Flocksy is a creative subscription that assigns you a dedicated team, a designer, video editor, motion editor and illustrator with copywriter support, and sells you a block of their time every business day. You brief work through a portal and the team works your queue during those daily hours. Flocksy has operated since 2016.
How much does Flocksy cost in 2026?
Plans start at $1,199 a month billed annually, or $1,699 month to month. That entry plan is 42 hours a month. Published plans run to $5,899 a month month-to-month for 8 daily hours at 168 hours, sold through a demo. Billed monthly, quarterly or annually. Annual billing saves 29% or more, quarterly 18% or more, against the month-to-month rate. Prices read from flocksy.com on September 23, 2026.
What do Flocksy's daily hours actually mean?
You are buying a fixed block of creative time each business day rather than a number of finished assets. Two daily hours is about 42 hours a month across roughly 21 business days. Every minute is tracked and visible in the client portal.
Do unused Flocksy hours roll over?
Yes. Unused hours roll over for up to 30 days while the plan is active, so capacity banks rather than burns. That covers a quiet week, but it is not a permanent bank, so a plan sized far above your real volume still wastes money.
How fast is Flocksy's turnaround?
Most requests come back the same business day, and Flocksy says a first request starts in under 24 hours. Larger builds run across several days. No guaranteed turnaround is published. Small assets can land the same day, while a multi-asset campaign or a longer video runs across several days of your hours.
Is there a Flocksy free trial or money-back guarantee?
14 day money-back guarantee, a full refund if you cancel inside the first 14 days. There is no free trial. The $1,199 starting rate requires annual billing.
Does Flocksy give you the same designer every time?
Yes, that is the core of the model. You keep the same designer, video editor, motion editor and illustrator rather than drawing from a rotating pool. A Production Coordinator is included from 4 daily hours and an Art Director from 6. An Art Director is included from 6 daily hours, and available as a $950 a month add-on on smaller plans.
What can you request from Flocksy?
Graphic design and branding, video editing, motion graphics, illustration, web and digital design, presentation design, social and ad creative, and print collateral, with copywriter support alongside the design work. Because you buy hours rather than a service list, you can spend an entire plan inside one discipline if that is all you need.
Who is Flocksy not right for?
Anyone with occasional or one off needs. If you want a single logo, one website or one campaign a year, the monthly cost is hard to justify and a per project brief is cheaper. It also suits you poorly if your volume is unpredictable, since rollover only carries 30 days.
Is Flocksy worth it?
It is worth it when creative work arrives every week across more than one discipline, and when the cost of coordinating freelancers is real. 84 hours a month at $3,099 month to month, or $2,199 billed annually, buys a tracked block of a team that already knows the brand. If your briefs are occasional or single discipline, a task based subscription or a per project brief will cost less.
How does Flocksy compare with Design Pickle and Penji?
The difference is what you buy. Design Pickle and Penji sell task based plans, where a set number of requests move at a time, and Design Pickle no longer publishes prices at all. Flocksy sells tracked hours with several projects in parallel. Task based plans are cheaper to start, hour based plans give you a capacity figure you can plan around.
What are the alternatives to Flocksy?
For cheaper task based subscriptions look at Undullify from $149 a month or Kapa99 from $499 a month. For one off work without a subscription, a Hatchwise design contest starts at $99 all inclusive, with full commercial rights and source files on the design you award.
Need one design instead of a monthly plan?
Post one brief on Hatchwise and designers submit original concepts for it. You award the one you want and take full commercial rights and the source files. Logo contests start at $99 all inclusive, with no subscription.
