Arclo vs TherapySites, for therapists and counselors

    A TherapySites alternative that improves your site every week

    TherapySites sells a tiered template subscription with paid add-ons for secure forms, reviews and ads. Arclo sells one managed website that already includes the form, the lead routing and the weekly improvements, and hands you the code. Their entry tier is cheaper; here is what you get for the difference.

    Stay with TherapySites if

    If you want the least expensive professional site and are happy to leave it alone, TherapySites' Core plan at $69 is hard to beat on price, and it is month-to-month, which we respect.

    Switch to Arclo if

    If you are paying for Premium or above plus the secure-forms and reputation add-ons, you are already near Arclo's price for a site nobody is actively improving. Arclo includes those pieces, adds weekly work on the site, and texts you the moment a client reaches out.

    Switching questions

    We rebuild it. Your copy and photos come with you (their FAQ confirms you keep your content); their templates and stock images do not. Arclo scans the current site, builds the replacement for you to review free, and only then do you point the domain at it.
