Hibu sells a bundled website, ads, SEO, and reviews package through a sales call, with reviewers reporting entry costs around $600 a month, a $599 setup fee, and a 12-month contract. The alternatives below range from a similar bundled agency to a published, no-contract flat rate.
A larger full-service marketing agency running the same bundled, custom-quoted model as Hibu, typically at a higher price point. Third-party reporting puts management fees from roughly $3,000 a month, plus ad spend, on a 12-month contract.
The closest price match to Hibu's reported entry cost: website, SEO, and social bundled through a sales call, reported around $300 to $500 a month at signup.
If ads and SEO management were the least useful part of your Hibu package, a DIY builder at $10 to $40 a month covers just the website, with no bundle and no contract. See the full builder comparison on this site.
I run this site. One person, contractors only, the $2,500 implementation (a custom website, the CRM, lead capture, automated response and follow-up, SEO pages, and the setup specific to your business) is built during a 14-day trial (card on file, nothing charged until day 15) and waived for businesses that start a plan by October 21, 2026, then $97 a month to keep it running, $297 with the missed-call text-back and review engine added. No contract, and the domain, code, and content are yours to take if you leave.
Hibu doesn't publish pricing, but reviewers commonly report entry bundles around $600 a month, a $599 one-time setup fee, and roughly $19 a month in hosting billed separately from the retainer, on a 12-month contract.
Hibu's sites are typically built and hosted on its own platform; check your specific agreement for what happens to the site and domain on cancellation before you sign anywhere else.
A DIY builder covers just the website for $10 to $40 a month with no bundle. If you want the website built for you and kept working afterward, that's the implementation-waived, no-contract option on this list.
