The daily surface

Profitability is a view, not a report.

No tool makes “which clients made me money this week” the first thing you see. Competitors lock it behind their most expensive tier. Metalyde shows it first — every day, before the invoice goes out.

Why Metalyde

One system for how an agency actually runs.

The margin view, shown first

Which accounts are margin-positive, which are burning, and exactly where the hours went. Not a month-end report — your daily dashboard.

Only 1% of agencies bill for all out-of-scope work

Brief to invoice, one system

Brief → Production → Billing → Reporting is a single workflow. Not Notion + ClickUp + Harvest + FreshBooks stitched with Zapier prayers.

4–6 hrs/week lost bridging tools

AI runs the admin, not the creative

Scope capture, brief drafting, budget flagging, client reports — automated. Your team does what agencies actually sell: thinking and making.

3 agents ≈ the ops of a 5-person junior team

Built for lean agencies

For 2–10 people running 6–15 accounts. Bonsai breaks at team scale; Scoro takes six weeks to configure. Metalyde is sized for exactly where you are.

Live in a day, not a quarter

What Metalyde is not

“There’s nothing I hate more than the all-in-one SaaS super apps. They’re a worse version of Google Sheets with integrations you’ll never use and a more confusing UI.”— agency operator, on X · the bar we refuse to be

Not

A horizontal work OS you configure for six weeks

A freelancer invoicing app that breaks past 3 people

A $50/seat resource-planning upsell

But

The operating layer for a marketing agency

Opinionated, agency-shaped, profitability-first

Built for the operator, not the user

The 2–10 person marketing agency running $50K–$500K in client revenue, wearing every role at once. You don’t need another tool to learn — you need to know your numbers while you’re still billing.

TEAM 2–10 · ACCOUNTS 6–15

The AI-native agency’s operating system

The agencies winning in 2026 aren’t hiring more people — they’re building systems that replace the overhead. The question isn’t whether to be AI-native. It’s whether your OS was built for it.

◆ Migration window

Bonsai was acquired by Zoom in Dec 2025. Unsure what that means for your data, pricing, and roadmap? Metalyde is the migration path built for boutique agency work.
