HubSpot vs TheGoodSite: which fits a small business?

HubSpot is a powerful CRM, marketing, and CMS platform built for larger sales teams, with professional tiers that run $800 to $3,600 a month plus onboarding fees. TheGoodSite is a done-for-you website you own, built and written for you for a flat $7,500. For most small and local businesses, HubSpot is far more platform, and cost, than they need. We give you the website result without the enterprise price tag.

HubSpot is genuinely good software. The problem for a small business is scale and price. You pay for a full sales-and-marketing suite, most of which a two-person or ten-person shop will never use, and the website is just one module inside it. The monthly cost alone can exceed the entire one-time price of a site from us.

Content built in HubSpot's CMS is also tied to HubSpot. Leave, and the pages you built do not come with you cleanly. Everything we build is yours: your code, your domain, your content, hosted anywhere you like.

If you have a large B2B sales team that lives in a CRM, HubSpot may be worth it. If what you actually need is a credible website that gets found and books clients, a done-for-you site you own is the right size.

The honest version

HubSpot is the better choice if you run a larger business with a real sales team that needs a full CRM, pipelines, and marketing automation in one place, and you have the budget and someone to run it. For a small business that mainly needs a website that gets found, it is overkill.

HubSpot vs TheGoodSite: common questions

Is HubSpot worth it for a small business website?

Usually not, if the website is your main need. HubSpot's value is the CRM and marketing suite for larger teams. For a small business, a done-for-you site you own delivers the website result at a fraction of the ongoing cost.

Do you provide a CRM?

We build the website and connect the booking and contact tools you use. We do not replace a full CRM. If you later need one, your site is yours and integrates with whatever you choose.

What does TheGoodSite cost compared to HubSpot?

A flat $7,500 once, with optional care from $100 a month. HubSpot's professional tiers can run $800 to $3,600 a month before onboarding fees.
