Hey guys and girls I’m thinking of putting a site on TREEPL but I really can’t work out the prices.
I’m currently on the free plan and it says the prices double for hosting. If I was to purchase a basic site (Essential) paid annually that’s $490 AUD a year and even if I did become a partner it’s $245 AUD a year for the basics of basic. Is that right or have I missed something? it seems very expensive.
Hi @luke
You can review the pricing for free users following this link: Treepl CMS Pricing Plans for Designers, Coders & Agencies, so it is $359.88/year for an Essential plan. All our pricing is in USD.
@luke If I remember right, the price for Essential is roughly the same as for Business Catalyst Bronze (aka WebBasic+) - for partners though, you’re right.
Ok thanks @Violetta.S and @TimL
@luke I spent a lot of time looking at the other BC replacement options out there, and I did a deep scrutinise of Treepl, only one was slightly cheaper but they are way behind Treepl in terms of build, function and performance. I would say with confidence Treepl are ahead of the pack on a number of levels and overall, for Partners, are cheaper than BC and certainly cheaper than the competition. The cost to client direct leaves plenty room for a profit margin way in excess of the 20% BC offered to Partners. But I would absolutely say, having known Alex+team since 2009-thereabouts, they have by far the most robust and progressive development track-record and offering; they also have a good backup strategy should things go side-ways, which I highly doubt will happen. I initially bought into Partner but have since upgraded to Agency, and it is paying dividends. I will say that I’ve also been involved in WordPress development (which has become increasingly more complex and admin consuming) but in comparison Treepl is hands-down a far more cost effective, simpler and whole solution, as Business Catalyst proved to be when I joined in 2008; and the Treepl roadmap ahead will far eclipse WordPress and many of the others out there.
Thanks, mate. Also, this is no disrespect to the Treepl team they have done an awesome job to get Treepl to where it is today, I’m just being a tight ass. The problem I find with most platforms is the lack of a webapp like function on basic plans. Webapps should be on all plans, it’s more of a function that’s needed than a feature you should pay extra for, isn’t it?
How does everyone set up basic web app usage on a basic website?
I want to set up a projects page with a list of items that open to the details of the project but I didn’t think it really needed the business plan for it.
