Thryv FAQ

Is Thryv legit?

Yes. Thryv Holdings is listed on Nasdaq and is BBB accredited with an A+ rating. Its Trustpilot score is 2.6 out of 5, and the complaints are mostly about billing, renewals and cancelling.

How much does a Thryv website cost?

Thryv’s Starter plan is $99 a month with an AI website builder. A custom website comes with the $399-a-month Signature plan, or with Marketing Center Pro at $320 a month plus a $150 design fee.

Can I cancel Thryv anytime?

You get a full refund if you cancel within three days of buying. After that you need to give written notice at least 30 days before your subscription period ends, and there are no refunds.

Do I own my Thryv website?

Not the design. Thryv’s website terms say the design is its property. When you leave, it releases your own content, and your domain if it was yours originally.

Is Happy Websites a good Thryv alternative?

If you mainly need a website, yes: Happy Websites is $99 or $199 a month with no contract, and you own the site. If you rely on Thryv for scheduling or payments, Happy Websites doesn’t replace that software.
