 "summary": "All-in-one marketing platform for small business. Websites, CRM, ads, email and reputation management under one roof, with a unified reporting dashboard (their 'Intelligence' analytics) that pulls every channel, lead and sale into one view — and real humans to help run it.",
 "best_for": "small businesses that want one vendor handling website, CRM, ads, email and reputation with real humans to help, and prefer done-for-you over DIY",
 "skip_if": "you're comfortable assembling your own stack (it'll cost far less), or you need transparent, predictable pricing you can budget upfront",
 "honest_knock": "Two honest cautions. Pricing is hidden and quote-driven, and reviewers repeatedly flag that the real cost — software plus design plus managed services — climbs well above the headline, sometimes with recurring fees for features you don't use. And it's an all-in-one \"we'll do it for you\" model, which is great if you want a single vendor and a human team, but it can mean less flexibility and more lock-in than assembling best-of-breed tools. Ask exactly what's included before signing. The published terms make the lock-in concrete: Websites 360 sites cannot be migrated to another host, and on the default ad plan 49% of every Ad Credit stays with Marketing 360.",

A site redesign moved the route: the old How Plans & Pricing Work page returned 404 on 23 October 2026, and the Get Plans & Pricing button now opens marketing360.com/get-started, a two-step form whose first step asks business name, industry, website and number of employees (1-2, 3-9 or 10+) before 'Continue to Plans & Pricing'. No figure appears before you submit it. The Terms of Service (last updated July 30, 2026) do publish the economics of the advertising side: Ad Credits cost $1.00 each, and on the default Model A plan 51% of each credit goes to the media buy while 49% is retained by Marketing 360 for campaign management and optimisation; on Marketing 360 Pro accounts the retained share is 25%; under Model B you buy ads in your own accounts and are invoiced 10% of the previous month's actual ad spend, which the terms recommend for clients spending more than $10,000 a month. Reported core software runs around $395-$419/mo with marketing consultations, but design and custom website work are separate and can run from $2,000 into five figures.
