Among the U.S. advisor-specific offers reviewed for this guide, public website prices run from $75 per month plus $995 setup to $1,000 per month with no upfront or onboarding fee stated. The broader agency-service example included in this comparison is Paladin Pro at $2,950 per month, covering work beyond a website-only plan. Those endpoints are not equivalent products, which is why a useful budget needs more than a monthly number.

Excluding Snappy Kraken Foundations because its current public page contains an unresolved entry-price conflict, the unambiguous website-focused rows have published-price first-year totals of $1,743–$12,000. Snappy’s $1,687 calculation remains visible in the table only with that pricing-conflict warning.

“The practical cost of an advisor website is the setup cash, recurring price, contract commitment, and work included—not the monthly sticker alone.”

This is a dated U.S. pricing landscape, not a claim that one provider is cheapest, best, or equivalent to another. Allux publishes this guide and appears in the table. Every named price links to the provider’s current official source.

The short answer: what does an advisor website cost per month?

Public prices in this reviewed set form a continuum, not clean market tiers. They are more useful when grouped by the work included—not by whether a provider uses AI:

• Website platform plans: $75–$199 per month in the reviewed examples, often with a setup fee, annual billing, or an initial term;
• Managed website services: $349–$1,000 per month in the reviewed examples, with materially different combinations of design, migration, publishing, SEO, content, updates, and support; and
• Broader marketing retainers: $2,950 per month in the reviewed Paladin Pro example, covering strategy and execution beyond a website-only service.

These are price-and-scope reference points, not universal market averages or technology categories. Offers at similar prices can include materially different work. Compare the exact deliverables, setup cost, term, ongoing workload, and exit rights. A quote can also move when page count, copywriting, integrations, photography, review requirements, migration, or ongoing marketing changes.

How this comparison was built

An offering was included when it met all three conditions:

1. it was built specifically for U.S. financial advisors or RIAs;
2. current official pricing was publicly accessible; and
3. the source disclosed enough information to identify the recurring price, setup or onboarding fee, and service model.

This is a representative pricing landscape, not an exhaustive directory. Quote-only offers and generic builders are excluded from the main table because they cannot be normalized with the same evidence.

Provider documents checked July 19, 2026. Every row covers the U.S. market, uses USD, and shows this source-check date. “Published-price first-year total” is calculated as:

12 × the published monthly price + the published setup or onboarding fee

The published-price calculation uses the visible monthly list price even when annual billing or an annual term applies. It excludes taxes, optional add-ons, negotiated pricing, partner discounts, annual-payment discounts, third-party tools, and internal labor. It is not the reader’s complete first-year budget, which must also include the relevant internal work, third-party tools, and migration or exit costs described later in this guide.

Important table notes:
Snappy Kraken’s current page contains a visible price conflict: its summary says “Essential Advisor Websites” at $199/month, while the detailed Foundations website section says $99/month plus $499 setup. The table preserves the detailed figure and flags the conflict; obtain a written quote.
• FMG prices are starting points. Its Terms state that the Order controls the initial term; if the Order does not specify one, the default initial term is one year.
• Advisor Designs states that its plans are billed annually.
• Allux’s public pricing offers optional annual billing with two months free. The table deliberately uses the monthly list price for the same first-year formula applied to every row.
• WealthReach states no upfront or onboarding fees and offers monthly, annual-upfront, and annual-paid-monthly structures. An annual plan paid monthly is a one-year commitment.
• Paladin Advantage bundles a website with original content, lead engagement, integrations, and a review workflow. Paladin Pro is a broader agency retainer included as a scope reference. Neither should be compared with hosting or an entry-level website plan on monthly price alone.

Why the lowest monthly price may not be the lowest cost

Advisor Designs Business is $75 per month plus a $995 setup fee, producing a $1,895 published-price first-year total. FMG Website Essential starts at $79 per month plus a $795 setup fee, producing a $1,743 published-price first-year total. In this exact comparison, FMG’s monthly price is $4 higher, but its published-price first-year total is $152 lower because its setup fee is $200 lower.

None of those facts establishes better value. They show why the monthly figure cannot answer the budget question on its own.

“A setup fee changes first-year cash. A contract term changes exit exposure. Service scope changes how much work remains inside the firm. Calculate all three before comparing price.”

What changes the price of an advisor website?

Design scope

A goal-driven theme, a customized template, a tailored design, and a fully custom build require different amounts of discovery and production. Ask what “custom” means in the actual process: page structure, visual system, copy, components, mobile design, revision rounds, and source or working files.

Page count and content migration

A five-page launch and a multi-service, multi-location resource site are not the same project. Confirm how many pages are included, whether existing copy is migrated, and whether content cleanup or rewriting is separate.

Copy and ongoing publishing

Some website plans include prewritten material or content libraries. Others include original firm-specific writing, AI-assisted drafts, a publishing workflow, or ongoing search work. Price the content model separately from the website if it is not included.

Forms and integrations

Scheduling, CRM connections, lead magnets, visitor identification, calculators, client portals, email platforms, and analytics can add implementation work or third-party charges. Ask which fees go to the website provider and which go directly to another vendor.

Review and records workflow

A provider can support drafting, review, approval, disclosures, version history, or archiving. Your firm and its appropriate reviewers remain responsible for what it approves and publishes. Confirm the workflow and records produced; do not treat a product label as a compliance determination.

Ongoing updates and support

“Managed” can mean hosting and software maintenance, a monthly edit allowance, a response-time commitment, or a team executing campaigns. Record the included update types, capacity, exclusions, and rate for work outside scope.

Contract and exit work

A monthly invoice may still sit inside an annual agreement. The advisor website contract guide explains the term, renewal, and cancellation clock. The ownership guide separates domain, content, design, code, hosting, and platform rights. Those terms affect the cost of changing providers later.

Then calculate:

Complete first-year budget = initial build + first 12 months of recurring fees + known add-ons + relevant third-party and internal costs

Ongoing annual cost = 12 months of recurring fees + expected add-ons and out-of-scope work

Switching exposure = remaining contract payments + overlap + migration and rebuild work

Do not force an unknown number into the worksheet. Mark it “not disclosed” and request a written answer.

How to compare two prices fairly

Use the same replacement job for both providers.

• Compare a website-only plan with another website-only plan.
• Compare website plus content with another website-plus-content offer.
• Compare agency execution with the cost of the people and work it replaces—not with hosting alone.
• Compare the same page count, revision allowance, content scope, integrations, support capacity, and term.
• Separate the cost of acquiring the site from the rights and materials available when service ends.

If one provider includes a content library, another includes original production, and a third leaves content entirely to the firm, the monthly figures cover different scopes and divisions of responsibility.

How Allux fits in the pricing landscape

This section describes Allux specifically. It is not a claim about every advisor website provider.

Allux is an AI-native website and publishing platform for independent financial advisors. For Allux, AI is part of the production system—not a separate pricing category. Across its plans, AI supports the website and publishing workflow; the plan difference is how much of the build, management, content, and ongoing optimization Allux handles. Current public pricing lists:

• Core: $199/month, labeled early access, with no setup fee;
• Managed: $349/month plus a $1,499 Design & Launch fee; and
• Growth: $599/month plus the same launch fee.

Managed is the relevant comparison when a firm wants Allux to build and continuously manage the website. Growth adds ongoing original-content and optimization scope. Core is self-serve and should not be treated as a substitute for a managed build.

The current Allux Terms state that monthly subscriptions are month-to-month and that optional annual plans follow the agreed annual term. Pricing also offers an optional annual discount of two months free. Review the selected plan and the Portability Guarantee together; price and exit rights answer different questions.

Compare the work included before the price point

The most useful question is not “Which website is cheapest?” It is:

“Which option covers the work the firm actually needs, at a first-year and ongoing cost it understands, under a term and handoff model it can accept?”

Start with the required website, content, support, and marketing jobs. Then compare complete first-year cash, ongoing annual cost, contract exposure, and what would need to be rebuilt if the relationship ends.

For a broader provider-by-fit comparison, see FMG Suite Alternatives for Financial Advisors. If you are already planning a transition, use the advisor website cancellation guide before the old service ends.
