CARE PLAN MATH · CAD/MONTH
A Canadian care plan we checked: $165 + $15 hosting = $180, edits at $110/hour. US care plans: US$69–280, hosting extra.
SiteRun: $129. Hosting in.
WHERE WE LOSE
No overnight support: we're 9 to 5 humans, not a night-shift bot. Fewer daily backups than the biggest US care shops. And cheaper plans exist. They usually don't publish what's included. We do.
