Wonderly vs. Scorpion
Scorpion charges $99/month. Then you read the contract.
The advertised price gets you basic features, but most service businesses pay $2,500+ per month once sales adds what you actually need. And if you ever want to leave, you lose your website, ad accounts, and 12 months of digital assets they control. That's why we built Wonderly.

Why people switch
Three things Scorpion customers figure out after they've already committed.
-
Scorpion doesn't include invoicing, e-signature, or project management.
Scorpion builds websites and runs your ads, but it doesn't help you close deals or run jobs. You still need separate software for estimates, contracts, invoicing, and tracking work. Their FAQ confirms clients own website assets after the contract ends, but there's no mention of business tools to actually operate your company.
Wonderly includes invoicing, e-signature, project management, and client portals at $0/month. Everything you need to run jobs, not just market them.
-
Scorpion's real cost isn't $99/month—it's custom pricing you negotiate.
Scorpion requires a quote for actual pricing. Their FAQ confirms a 12-month contract for marketing technology, and setup fees apply for website builds. G2 lists their entry pricing as 'Call for Quote' with a high-cost tier marker. The $99/month advertised price is for Scorpion Connect only, not the full platform.
Wonderly is $395/month all-in for AI automation, or $0/month for core tools. One price, no quotes, no setup fees, no annual lock-in.
-
Scorpion keeps control of your website and ad accounts.
Scorpion's FAQ states clients own website assets after the contract ends—but only after. Their terms require a 12-month commitment, and customer complaints on Reddit and the BBB describe losing access to Google accounts, social media, and websites when trying to leave. You don't control your own digital presence while under contract.
Wonderly doesn't own your assets. You control your website, your data, and your accounts from day one. Cancel anytime, keep everything.

Feature details
Here's a detailed look at Wonderly's features.
We know unpredictable pricing is stressful — that's why ALL AI features (Receptionist, Text, Automations) are included in one flat rate of $395/mo after the first 14 days. No surprises, ever.
The elephant in the room
But Scorpion handles everything for me — marketing, websites, the whole thing
They do. And that's the problem. When Scorpion owns your marketing, they own your leads, your website, and your entire pipeline. If you ever leave, you're starting from scratch — and you've been paying them thousands per month for the privilege.
The businesses switching to Wonderly aren't looking for someone to do it for them. They want control over their leads, their follow-ups, and their customer data — without paying an agency every month to access what's already theirs.
Here's the real question: Do you need a marketing agency that charges you monthly, or do you need a platform that puts the tools in your hands so you stop paying someone else to own your leads?
The math doesn't lie.

FAQs
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Scorpion
Wonderly replaces your website builder, CRM, business phone system, scheduling tool, email platform, texting service, invoicing software, and project management system in one platform. Scorpion's Convert product handles calls and texts, but you'll still need separate tools for email marketing, project management, e-signatures, and client portals. Most businesses save $300-500/month by canceling tools like Calendly, RingCentral, Mailchimp, Monday.com, and DocuSign when they switch to Wonderly.
Picture this: you're under a sink fixing a leak when a new lead calls. Wonderly's AI Receptionist picks up, qualifies the lead, books the appointment, and starts automated text and email follow-ups — all while you're still working. Scorpion's Convert system has similar AI assistants for calls and texts, but it's part of their custom pricing model that requires quotes and setup fees. With Wonderly, everything works together in 20 minutes without any agency or custom configuration.
Most agencies charge $5,000+ for setup and $2,000/month to maintain connections between different tools. Wonderly's AI builds your website, sets up your CRM, configures your phone system, and creates your automations in about 20 minutes. Scorpion uses a managed approach with dedicated project managers, which takes 4-10 weeks for full website launches. Since Wonderly is one platform instead of multiple tools, there's nothing to connect or maintain — it just works.
Wonderly has no contracts — you can cancel anytime. Scorpion requires 12-month contracts for their marketing technology and SEO services, and customers report losing access to their websites and Google accounts when they try to leave. One reviewer called it an 'oppressive contract' after discovering they didn't own their digital assets. With Wonderly, you own everything from day one and can export your data whenever you want.
This is where Wonderly really shines. Once you close a deal, the project automatically kicks off with tasks, timelines, team assignments, and a branded client portal where customers can see progress and upload documents. Scorpion focuses on marketing and lead generation but doesn't offer project management or client portal features — you'd need separate tools like Monday.com or BuilderTrend. Wonderly handles the entire customer journey from first call to final invoice in one platform.
