Brushpage vs Squarespace and Wix

Squarespace and Wix cost roughly $16 to $39 a month for typical plans, so they are much cheaper than Brushpage at $249 a month. You build and maintain the site yourself and add scheduling separately. Brushpage builds it, keeps it up and includes estimate booking. Choose a builder if you enjoy building; choose Brushpage if your time is better spent on jobs.

Can I build this myself on Wix Bookings?

You can, and in cash terms it is cheaper. Wix's Core plan, which includes scheduling, is from $29 a month according to wix.com/plans (Nov 2026). That is about $1,044 over 3 years against Brushpage's $8,964. If you enjoy setting up software and have the time, DIY on Wix is a reasonable choice.

What it takes is your time and some checking. Before you commit, confirm on Wix's own Bookings pages and pricing page which plan includes Bookings and whether it can do each of these:

A ZIP code check against your service area before a homeowner can book
Real travel time between your appointments, not just a fixed gap
A daily cap on the number of estimates
Collecting photos and the job address with each request
Following up on a quote you sent, in your name
One-tap Google review requests after a job
A monthly report of estimates booked, quotes sent and jobs won, with a CSV export
Someone else making site updates for you

Brushpage includes all of these: ZIP check, travel time, daily cap, photos and address at booking, quote follow-ups, review requests, a monthly report with CSV export, and done-for-you updates (one round a month). Count the hours it takes you to set up, test and maintain the same things on Wix, plus any add-ons or custom work needed.

Who DIY suits

Painters who enjoy setting up software and want the lowest monthly cash cost. If you would rather paint and have it running from day one, Brushpage is the simpler path.

What you own

With Brushpage you keep your domain. If you cancel, we send you your site's files and photos and a CSV of all your requests (the refund-or-files rule applies: the refund or the files, not both).

Choose Squarespace or Wix if

You enjoy designing and have the time to keep a site current.
You want a blog, many pages or full control.
Keeping monthly costs as low as possible matters most.

Choose Brushpage if

You want a site and booking running without learning a tool.
You would rather email a change than make it.
You want a refund if the booking link brings you fewer than 2 estimates in 60 days.

Common questions

Why is Brushpage so much more than Squarespace?

Squarespace and Wix sell you software to build your own site. Brushpage builds and maintains the site for you and includes estimate booking. If you are happy doing that work, a builder is the cheaper choice.

Can I build this myself on Wix Bookings?

Yes, and it is cheaper in cash: from $29 a month for the Core plan, which includes scheduling, per wix.com/plans (Nov 2026), about $1,044 over 3 years. It takes your own setup time, and you should check on Wix whether it supports a ZIP check, travel time between appointments, a daily cap, quote follow-ups, review requests and monthly reporting. Brushpage includes all of those, plus done-for-you updates.

Can I get a booking link on Squarespace or Wix?

Yes, by adding a scheduling tool or booking feature and setting it up yourself. Brushpage includes booking with ZIP check, travel time and a daily cap.
