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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

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.
