Penji starts at $995. PitchWorx Creative Assist is $699/mo, AI-led, with senior review and 13 years of Fortune 500 heritage.
By Dharmendra Ahuja, Founder of PitchWorx
Penji's entry tier (Marketing & Ads) is $995/mo with 2 active workstreams, a 1-business-day turnaround, and a single brand. PitchWorx Creative Assist is $699/mo, about $3,500/year less, also with 2 active requests, but with unlimited brands and a dedicated designer included from the trial.
Concurrency is a tie at the entry tier, both give 2, and Penji is genuinely faster (1 day versus our 72 hours). The real gap is price, brand coverage and scope: Penji charges up to its $1,995 Agency tier for unlimited brands and a dedicated pod, both of which PitchWorx includes at $699.
Both market AI now. PitchWorx ships it as named workflow agents that do exploration, with senior designers reviewing every output, and adds 13 years of Fortune 500 deck and brand work. If you're evaluating Penji, this is the honest case for trying PitchWorx.

We're not going to pretend Penji is bad, they're a real business with real customers. Here's the fair breakdown so you pick on facts, not vibes.
You're a US-based ad agency or marketing team with a $1k+ monthly creative budget, you want a deep US-hours overlap, and brand is more important than price.
You're a founder or early-stage startup who wants the same craft quality at one-third the price, AI agents that actually accelerate, and a team with Fortune 500 experience.
Send us your active brief or whatever you'd give your current team. Most first concepts come back within 72 hours so you can compare like for like before changing anything.
Drop your existing brand kit, working files, fonts and saved brand notes into the dashboard. Our team rebuilds your brand profile inside our AI workflow so every output stays on-brand from day one.
You don't have to cancel Penji on day one. Most teams run both for 1, 2 weeks, then cut over once they're satisfied with PitchWorx output. Keep your queue full, no work lost.
Trusted by teams at
13 years. 500+ brands. Enterprise-grade craft.
Two reasons. First, we're based in New Delhi, pricing arbitrage is real, but the senior designers on your work have spent 10+ years on Fortune 500 brands. Second, AI agents handle the exploration phase, so senior time goes to craft rather than to producing variations from scratch. Same craft, smaller cost base.
Penji has 1000+ five-star reviews and a strong portfolio. So do we, 13 years of work for Bloomberg, PepsiCo, Samsung, Caterpillar, Aviva, and 500+ other brands. The 7-day trial is the honest answer here: send a real brief and judge the output yourself.
Penji's AI marketing language describes 'task routing' and 'quality checks.' PitchWorx publishes the actual workflow: AI agents brainstorm directions, generate first drafts and option sets, and a senior designer reviews and finalises every piece. AI is a production accelerant, not a delivery channel, humans ship the work.
No, it's a tie at the entry tier: Penji's $995 Marketing & Ads plan and PitchWorx's $699 plan both give 2 active workstreams. Concurrency isn't the difference. The difference is that PitchWorx costs less and includes unlimited brands, where Penji's entry tier is limited to a single brand.
Two honest points. On brands, PitchWorx includes unlimited brands at $699, while Penji's $995 tier covers one brand and unlimited brands is its $1,995 Agency tier. On speed, Penji is faster on paper, a 1-business-day turnaround on the entry tier versus PitchWorx's usual 72 hours. If single-request speed is your priority, Penji has the edge; if brand coverage, scope and price matter more, PitchWorx does.
With PitchWorx, yes, from the free trial: a dedicated designer stays with your account. Penji assigns work through its platform on the $995 tier; a dedicated creative pod is its $1,995 Agency tier. So at a lower price PitchWorx includes something Penji charges roughly double for.
Yes for the core stack: graphic design, motion, brand, presentations, social, web, and illustration. Penji bundles front-end dev and email deployment on higher tiers; PitchWorx does web design but not full-stack engineering hours.
Run a 7-day PitchWorx trial in parallel with Penji and brief both teams the same job. The output and turnaround will tell you which one fits your workflow.
