Hibu is a full-service marketing company. If what you mainly need is a trade-specific website and a verified Google listing, you may not want the whole package. Here is how the two differ, based on Hibu's own published terms.
Side by side
Hibu terms checked from hibu.com/legal/general-terms in October 2026. Prices and terms change, so confirm the current ones with Hibu before you decide. Sources: Hibu General Terms.

Fair is fair
If you want someone to run paid search, display or social advertising for you, or you want a dedicated account contact and a larger marketing program, Hibu offers that and FieldTender does not. FieldTender is for contractors who mainly need a good website and Google listing, without a long list of services.

Common questions
Only for part of it. FieldTender builds your website and Google listing and offers optional monthly management of the listing. We do not run advertising, so if Hibu is managing your paid search or display ads, you would keep that separate.
According to Hibu's published General Terms, domains provided with a Hibu website are registered to Hibu, you can request a transfer to your name, and cancelling a Websites package also cancels the domain Hibu provided. If you are leaving, ask for the transfer before you cancel, and confirm it in writing.
FieldTender is $1,197 once plus $19 a month for hosting, which is $1,425 in the first year, before sales tax. Hibu quotes are custom, so ask for a written quote that includes every monthly fee and compare the first 12 months.
No. There is no minimum term. You can cancel hosting at any time and you are billed through the end of the billing period you cancel in.
