If you've been shopping for an affordable small business website, Jottful has probably shown up in your search. They market themselves as the budget-friendly option - a done-for-you website at a low monthly cost. But once you dig into what you're actually paying and what you're actually getting, the picture changes fast.
SprySite was built for the same small business owner Jottful is targeting. The difference is what you get for your money.
Let's Start With the Price
Jottful's pricing looks simple on the surface. It isn't.
Here's what you're actually looking at:
- $99 upfront to build your site (up to 5 pages). That $99 rate is only valid for 48 hours after seeing your free sample - miss the window and it jumps to $499.
- $65 to $169 per month depending on which plan you choose
- Additional fees for domain registration, professional email, extra pages, and any add-ons you need
Before your website is even live, you're already out $99. Then you're paying at least $65 every month - just for the website. Domain? Extra. Professional email? Extra. Marketing tools? Go find them somewhere else.
SprySite is $15 per month. Everything included. Domain, hosting, professional features - no add-ons, no tiers, no surprise fees. If you'd rather have a done-for-you setup than build it yourself, SpryPro adds a one-time $150 setup fee, and your monthly cost stays at $15 after that. No contracts either way.
But Here's Where It Gets Really Interesting
If Jottful charged less and delivered more, the price difference might be worth debating. But Jottful charges more and delivers less - and that's where SprySite wins on both fronts.
Jottful gives you a basic static website and not much else. There's no CRM, no built-in marketing tools, no review management, no email or SMS capabilities. If you want any of that, Jottful's answer is to refer you to another company - another vendor, another monthly subscription, another thing to manage.
SprySite includes all of it in the $15 plan:
You're not choosing between affordable and capable. With SprySite, you get both.
A Website That Actually Works for Your Business
A static brochure website that just sits there isn't working for you - it's just existing. Jottful's approach puts a basic online presence in place, and that's largely where it stops.
SprySite was built around a different idea: your website should be the hub of your business, not just a placeholder. That means built-in tools to attract customers, capture and manage leads, generate reviews, and support your marketing - all running from one simple platform you can actually manage yourself.
The interface is intentionally clean and uncluttered. No coding required, no steep learning curve, no developer needed for updates. Just a powerful platform that's easy enough for any business owner to run.
Real Support, Real Growth - Everything in One Place
When Jottful customers need a CRM, email marketing, review management, or any other tool to actually run and grow their business, they have to go buy it somewhere else. When they need expert coaching or marketing strategy support, they get referred out to another company. That means multiple vendors, multiple monthly costs, outside help you have to manage, and a marketing strategy pieced together from platforms that have nothing to do with each other and certainly weren't built to work with your Jottful website.
SprySite is built differently. The tools you need to run and grow your business are already inside the platform - CRM, email and SMS marketing, review management, blogging, SEO, and analytics. Everything works together because it's all in one place. You're not stitching together a stack of separate subscriptions and hoping they connect.
And when you want guidance on top of that, SprySite coaching and expert support is available as-needed with no contracts. One-on-one strategy sessions, personalized advice, and real help from real people - whether you need a quick answer or deeper support as your business scales. No AI chatbots, no expensive agency retainers, no being sent elsewhere. Just someone who knows the platform and can help you get the most out of it.
The Bottom Line
Jottful charges more and gives you less. SprySite charges $15 a month and includes your website, CRM, marketing tools, review management, SEO, blogging, analytics, and real human support. All of it in one place.
For small businesses that want an actual online presence - not just a static online brochure that sits there - SprySite is the obvious choice.
