The short answer
Thryv is a good fit if you want one app for scheduling, invoicing, payments and customer messages, and the website is a smaller part of what you need. Its plans are $99 a month (an AI-built website) or $399 a month (a custom website), per its pricing page.
Hungry Ram is the better fit when the website itself needs to win customers: designed from scratch for your business, with a CRM included, month to month, and a site you own outright.
