The growth hire math
A growth marketer at a seed-stage startup costs $120k to $180k loaded, takes a quarter to hire, another to ramp, and usually asks for tools and contractors on top. The output, if it goes well, is a working content engine eighteen months from now.
Fastlane is the engine without the wait: $79/month at the Growth tier for 2,000 credits a month (up to 400 statics or 25 videos), 5 campaigns at a time and 10 social accounts per workspace, 3 workspaces. The risk profile is not comparable, and the free trial costs nothing but an evening.
