TherapySites is one of the cheapest ways for a therapist to get a website, and for some practices that is exactly right. The catch shows up when you want the site to bring in clients: SEO, AI search, and reputation are separate, higher tiers. Here is a straight comparison.
✓ yes ~ partly or costs extra ✕ no. Details and sources below.
If that is you, stay. We would rather tell you now than sell you something you do not need.
The $69 Core plan is a website. SEO starts at the $99 tier, "AI search optimization" at $207, social media at $266, and reputation management at $336, plus a $199 one-time design fee. Add-ons on top: HIPAA email and forms from $15/month, custom SEO content from $99, Google Ads from $600/month, Facebook Ads from $158/month, social media from $59/month. The total climbs fast once you want results.
You keep content you wrote yourself. Content TherapySites provides stays with them, so a practice that relied on their pages starts over when it leaves.
Their FAQ says you pay month by month, except promotional offers that require several months. Their terms (updated July 20, 2026) say "Twelve (12) month minimum commitment required if stated in your service agreement" and "All fees and charges are nonrefundable." Check yours before you sign or cancel.

| Feature | TherapySites | The Therapist SEO Company |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $69 to $336/month across six tiers, plus a $199 one-time design fee, plus add-ons (published pricing, Oct 2026). | $995/month flat. No setup fee. |
| SEO | From the $99/month tier. | Included: local SEO, Google Business Profile, specialty and location pages, content, monthly reporting. |
| AI search | From the $207/month tier. | Included: AI-readable markup, consistent listings, crawler access, monthly AI mention checks. |
| Who owns the content | You own what you write. Content they provide stays with them. | You own the site, the domain, and every page we write. |
| Contract | Month by month per FAQ, except some promotions. Terms allow a 12-month minimum if your agreement says so; fees nonrefundable. | Month to month. Leave any month. |
| Reviews | Reputation add-on from $40/month to "generate client reviews". | We never ask current clients for reviews (APA 5.05, ACA C.3.b). Complete, consistent profiles instead. |
| Exclusivity | Open to every practice. | One practice per service area. Your competitor cannot hire us. |
If a template site plus a search add-on fills your caseload, stay. Our plan is for practices that want a custom site they own, specialty and location pages written for their market, Google Business Profile work, monthly reporting, and only one practice per area. That is a different job than a website tier.
If you bought it yourself, yes. If TherapySites bought it for you, their FAQ says they own it and "can transfer ownership to you at any time for a small fee."
About a week to build and launch. Your current site stays up the whole time.
