GrowBig Free vs paid
GrowBig Free or paid: the difference
Free lets you build and test your whole site. To publish a working site on your own domain, you need the paid theme: $997, one time.

Which one should you start with?
It depends on your HubSpot plan and how sure you are.
- You’re still choosing a themeStart with GrowBig Free. Build a few pages and click through the demo.Try GrowBig free
- You’re on Content Hub Professional or EnterpriseFree is fine to start. Build on a child theme and your pages can move to paid later; I can do the switch.Try GrowBig free
- You’re on Starter, or already sureStart on the paid theme. A Free build can’t move to paid on Starter, so you’d build twice.Buy GrowBig, $997

Questions about the free version
Why can’t I publish a site on the free version?
GrowBig Free has every template and module, so you can build and preview your pages before you buy. It isn’t meant for a live site: it shows “Build with GrowBig Free” and some features, like links, stop working once published.
Do I lose my work when I upgrade?
Not on Content Hub Professional or Enterprise, if you built your pages on a child theme: they can be switched to the paid theme in code, and I can do it for you. On Starter you’d rebuild, so start on paid there.
Is the free version slower?
No. Free and paid have the same speed. If your pages feel slow, the tutorial’s speed chapter shows what to check.
Can I use one paid licence on several websites?
Yes, on unlimited projects inside the HubSpot account where you bought it. Each other HubSpot account needs its own licence.
