Every option, named, with the price they publish
Most comparison pages are written by whoever wins the comparison. This one is too, so every figure on it is quoted from the other company's own pricing page or terms, and every option carries a real answer to who should buy it.
Check any of them. If a number here does not match what a vendor currently publishes, theirs is the correct one and this page is out of date.

Six ways to buy a contractor website
Ordered by price, cheapest first. The last one is us, and it is last because it costs more than three of the five above it.
Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy
DIY builders
$16–$65 a month
- Right for
- A brand-new operator who needs an address on the internet this week, has more time than money, and is not yet competing for search traffic.
- The trade-off
- You are the web team. Every page, every edit and every SEO decision is yours, at night, after a full day on the tools. The template is also on thousands of other contractor sites.

Housecall Pro, Jobber
Website inside your software
$49–$149 a month for the software
- Right for
- A one-truck operation already paying for the software that needs something live immediately and is not chasing organic traffic yet.
- The trade-off
- Housecall Pro's plans cap the site at 1, 5 or 15 pages, and their terms put materials they generate under their sole and exclusive ownership. Cancel and you have 30 days to ask for the domain before it stops renewing.

Fiverr and $999 template shops
Productized template build
$999 flat, live in about five business days
- Right for
- Someone who needs a presentable site fast, at a fixed price, and genuinely only needs the five pages the template comes with.
- The trade-off
- One revision round. Extra pages run $199 each, content $349, rush delivery $299. It is a delivery, not a relationship — month three, when prices and staff change, is a new invoice or a DIY afternoon.

Townsquare Interactive
Volume marketing package
No published price list. Reported at $300–$900 a month on a 12-month term.
- Right for
- A contractor who wants one vendor handling website, listings and social, and prefers a phone rep and an invoice to any involvement in the work.
- The trade-off
- Rated 1.7 out of 5 across 34 Trustpilot reviews, with 46 BBB complaints filed in three years, the majority concerning billing after a cancellation request or a term longer than the buyer understood.

Hook Agency, Blue Corona
Contractor marketing agency
Hook publishes $12,000 for a standard site and $24,000 custom, both split over 12 months, plus $2,800/mo for SEO or $4,000/mo for AI-search work. Blue Corona does not publish prices.
- Right for
- A multi-location contractor with a real marketing budget who needs paid media, a content team and a strategist, and for whom the website is one line item in a much larger program.
- The trade-off
- The price is a different category of decision, and it is bought through a discovery call rather than off a page. For a single-location contractor the site is usually the only part that was needed.

JuicedWebsites
Custom build, owned outright
$750–$2,500 once, then $500 a month, month to month
- Right for
- A contractor with a high-ticket customer who wants pages that rank and get quoted by AI, wants to own the site outright, and wants changes to happen by text instead of by meeting.
- The trade-off
- Capacity is five builds a month and the studio is one person, so there is a queue to get in. Two weeks to launch, against five days from a template shop. If you need a site tomorrow, buy a template.

Ask every one of them this
Three questions that settle it faster than any comparison
Including us. Send all three by text to whoever is quoting you and the shortlist sorts itself out in a day.
01
Who owns the code and the domain?
Ask it in writing, before signing. A site you do not own is a rental with an SEO history that cannot move with you, and the answer is always in the terms rather than on the sales call.
02
How many pages am I allowed?
Ranking is a page per service and a page per market. Any answer with a number in it — 5, 15, whatever the plan says — is a ceiling on how much of your market you can compete for.
03
What does a change cost, and how long does it take?
Prices change, staff change, offers change. If an edit is a new invoice or a support ticket, the site quietly goes stale, which is how most contractor websites actually die.
The verdict
Where we are the best buy, and where we are not
Buy from us when
One customer is worth four figures, you want pages that rank and get quoted by AI rather than a brochure, and you want to own the result outright.
Nobody in the list above pairs a custom build with a $500 monthly that includes AI-search work and unlimited minor edits shipped in four hours. The tier that also does AEO publishes $4,000 a month for it. The tiers at our price cap your pages, keep the code, or hand the site over and leave.
Everything is month to month. The domain, the files, the hosting login and the analytics are yours on launch day whether the retainer continues or not, which is the one line in this whole comparison that the rest of the field cannot match on any budget.
Buy from someone else when
- You need a site live this week. A template shop ships in five business days and this studio takes two weeks. Buy the template.
- Your budget is under $750 all-in. A DIY builder at $16 a month is the honest answer, and there is no version of this that competes with it on price.
- You need paid media, a content team and a strategist as one program. That is what the agencies publishing $12,000 builds are staffing, and one builder is not a substitute for it.
Three real situations, not a rhetorical device. Capacity is five builds a month, so a bad fit costs a good one its slot.
Questions people actually ask
Choosing between them
Who are the main options for a contractor website in 2026?
Five, by price: DIY builders like Wix at $16–$65 a month, a site bundled into Housecall Pro or Jobber, a $999 template shop, a volume package such as Townsquare Interactive at a reported $300–$900 a month, and agencies like Hook that publish $12,000–$24,000 builds.
What is the cheapest way to get a contractor website that ranks?
Ranking needs a page per service and per market, so the cheapest route that works is the cheapest option without a page cap. That rules out plans capped at 15 pages and five-page templates. Below roughly $1,000 you are buying pages you will have to write yourself.
Do I own the website my marketing company built?
Read the terms before assuming so. Housecall Pro's put materials they generate under their sole and exclusive ownership. Platform-built funnels end with the subscription. Ask three questions of any vendor: who owns the code, who holds the domain registration, and what happens on the day you cancel.
Is a $999 contractor website worth it?
For a fixed five-page brochure delivered in a week, yes, and it is honest about what it is. It stops being worth it when the business has more services than template slots, or when the site needs to keep changing — extra pages are $199 each and there is one revision round.
Why is JuicedWebsites cheaper than an agency?
Because it is one builder with no account managers, no sales team and no media buying department, capped at five builds a month. Agencies publishing $12,000 builds are staffing a program around the site. The build is the same craft; the overhead attached to it is not.
