Honest comparisons, sourced and dated
How Therapy Growth Systems compares.
Therapists ask us how we differ from the companies they already know. So we wrote it down: price, setup fee, contract term, what's included, support, and whether you see your site before you pay. Every competitor figure comes from their own website, with the date we checked it.

|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | Start $99, Grow $179 and Flourish $349 a month at list price. On-page promotions (currently $79 / $149 / $319) change often. The Thrive & Prosper SEO plans are quote-only.

| Setup or build fee | $100 setup fee on Start and Grow ($0 in the current monthly promotion; charged on annual billing). No setup fee on Flourish. | $199 one-time “website design with concierge onboarding” fee. Their FAQ mentions promotions that waive it in exchange for a multi-month hosting commitment. | None. Your first website draft is completely free; the monthly plan starts only when you ask for edits and launch. |
| Contract term and cancellation | Terms of Service default: a one-year initial term that auto-renews unless either side gives written notice 2 business days before the term ends. Fees are non-refundable for monthly subscribers. Your order form can set a different term, so check yours. | Their FAQ says month-by-month unless you take a multi-month promotion. Their Terms and Conditions (updated July 20, 2026) allow a 12-month minimum “if stated in your service agreement”, make all fees non-refundable, and auto-renew until you submit their online cancellation form. | Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. |
| Ongoing SEO included? | An SEO audit when your site launches, then once a year. Ongoing content only on Flourish (one optimized page a month) or the quote-only Thrive & Prosper plans, which start with a 1-year commitment and can't be downgraded. | Sold as tiers: “SEO 1.0” from the $99 Advantage plan, “SEO 2.0” from $158, AI search optimization from $207. Custom SEO content is an add-on from $99. | Included and ongoing: built to rank for the searches in your city and kept optimized as part of the plan. |
| Google Business Profile work included? | Not listed on any plan card or in the FAQs. | Not on the Core plan. Their SEO service (Advantage and up) includes help creating your Google Business Profile. | Included: we set up, optimize and maintain your Google Business Profile as part of the plan. |
| Support channel and reply time | Email or support ticket. The pricing page promises changes “within 2 business days”; the help center says 1–3 business days. A phone number is listed. | “Unlimited live support” by phone and a support request form; Customer Care Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm Central. No reply-time promise is published. | Text or email Isabella directly. Replies and edits are done within 1 business day. |
| See your site before you pay? | No. You choose a plan and pay first; a Lead Developer then sends a questionnaire, and a first draft follows in about a week. Monthly subscribers can't get a refund. | You can preview their themes, but your own site is built after the $199 onboarding fee (waived in some promotions). | Yes. You see your real first draft before paying anything. |
| Custom code or template? | Built on Brighter Vision's platform from a chosen “framework”, with a pre-written content library and a homepage content generator. | You choose a theme from their design gallery (Healing, Sanctuary, Renewal and others) and an Onboarding Specialist tailors it. You can edit it yourself in their portal. | Custom-coded for your practice, not a template, with copy written for your specialty. |
| EMDR and trauma focus | Serves every therapy specialty. | Serves every therapy specialty; positioned as an all-in-one marketing agency for therapists. | EMDR and trauma therapists specifically, in partnership with Beyond Healing. |
