This compares entered costs rather than equivalent deliverables or business returns. It does not model the timing of individual payments, financing, price changes or your own time. Taxes are excluded unless you include estimates in the extra-cost fields.
The model, in plain terms
Sparrow: the selected monthly plan × the service months, plus any separate setup fee and your entered one-time/provider costs. The agreed completed website has an initial minimum of 3 paid service periods.
Within the agreed website scope, the separate setup fee is $0. Prelaunch cancellation is reconciled separately. Read the billing sequence, cancellation terms and completed-project handover details.
Upfront option: the entered build quote + other one-time costs + service months × (monthly hosting/maintenance + outside subscriptions). Use the same time period for both options and avoid counting a fee twice.
Your first monthly payment is due at kickoff. It covers planning, the build and the first month of live service. Your next monthly payment is due one month after launch. The third is due one month after that. After the initial three paid periods, service continues month to month.
The comparison clock begins with live service. A prelaunch delay does not add another Sparrow monthly service payment to this model. Different providers may offer different pages, support, ownership, content and features; check those details in each proposal.
