Compared

Every comparison starts with where they win.

If one of these is the better answer for you, the page says so and tells you to go and use it. We would rather lose a sale on the page than in month three — and a comparison that only flatters the author is worth nothing to the person reading it.

The short version

The website builders sell you a tool and your evenings. HubSpot sells you a platform and assumes somebody operates it. We sell the finished work: a site written and built for you in 48 hours for $10 a month, and sixteen prebuilt tools that run on the phone number you already give out — $149 for the first, $49 after, one $19/month plan for all of them.

If you have somebody at a desk who will genuinely run a CRM, buy HubSpot. If you enjoy building and have the evenings, buy Squarespace. If neither is true, that is who we are for.
