We checked the public pricing of more than fifteen providers across five countries on 5 July 2026, straight from their official pricing pages. Here is what a business website really costs today — and what the price grids don’t always tell you.

Switzerland

  • localsearch (Swisscom): from CHF 790 + CHF 348/year for a 3-page site, up to CHF 5,090 + CHF 1,188/year for the full package.
  • Local agencies (French-speaking Switzerland): CHF 3,000 to 8,000 for a business site, plus CHF 500 to 3,000/year in maintenance.
  • Young subscription agencies: CHF 149 to 249/month — forever, without ever owning the site.

France

  • Solocal (PagesJaunes): €64 to €209/month depending on the tier, subscription only — there is no purchase option. Over 3 years, even the entry tier passes €2,300.

United Kingdom

  • UENI: £18.99 to £94.99/month, plus a £149 to £599 setup fee.
  • Yell: £36 to £75/month, plus £399 to £3,499 setup.

Portugal

  • Local agencies: €600 to €2,500 one-time for a professional site, or plans around €80/month with commitment.

Spain

  • Professional business site: €700 to €1,800; corporate sites reach €4,500.

The trap the grids don’t show

Almost the entire market has moved to the never-ending subscription, often with no option to buy: 150/month for 5 years = 9,000 — and the day you stop paying, the site is gone. Renting is not wrong in itself; the trap is renting without knowing it, with no way to buy.

The 4 questions to ask before signing

  1. Will the site ever be mine? (source code, design, content)
  2. What’s the 3-year total? (setup + monthly + add-ons)
  3. Who keeps control? (can I leave with my site?)
  4. Am I tied in, and for how long? (can I buy the site instead of renting it?)

Our answer, in full transparency

At Ultras-Sites you choose, and it is written down before you sign: the site on subscription, €88/month with 588 set-up fee, no commitment (hosting and upkeep included; the standard site stays with us until 36 monthly instalments have been paid, your domain name and content are yours), or bought outright, from €1,999 (simple website) or from €2,999 (small business site) — and then it’s yours, delivered with basic SEO set up. Plus the SEO level of your choice: basic SEO €39/month, local SEO €199/month, ultra on quote from €299, reviewed every 6 months against your results, 6-month minimum. It’s not dead rent: it’s a partner working your ranking to Google page 1. Same numbers in euros, Swiss francs, dollars and pounds.
