Quick answer
The cheapest DIY builders run $10–$30/month, but you're still writing every word and doing every update yourself — real cost, just paid in your own time instead of dollars. A freelancer is $300–$1,500 for a one-off build, then you're on your own for changes and there's no ongoing marketing. Akus is $50/month, writes and builds the site for you, and keeps producing marketing content after launch — cheapest per hour of your own time, even if it's not the lowest number on the page.

The honest take

Where a freelancer fits in

A freelancer off a marketplace is usually $300–$1,500 for a one-off build. That can be genuinely good value if you need something highly custom — but once it's delivered, you're on your own. Want a new page, a seasonal promotion, or your Google reviews chased up? That's a new invoice, or it just doesn't happen.

Akus isn't trying to be the cheapest number on the page — the $10/month builders will always win that. It's trying to be the cheapest way to actually get a finished, marketed business, because it doesn't stop at "here's a template" the way the low-end options do.
