Elite Advisor Hub tiers stack modules rather than rebuild sites. Every tier ships a custom-branded site on the full supplier catalog; moving up adds capability, it never starts the site over. Starter gives an advisor a complete, credible luxury site; Growth adds a curated editorial stream; Custom adds villas, bespoke design, and premium modules; Agency adds multi-advisor management and a shared directory. You are never penalized for starting where you are.
This matters because the most common fear in choosing a tier is buyer's remorse: picking wrong, then paying to redo everything. On a stacking architecture that fear is misplaced. Here is what each tier actually adds, and how to choose without overbuying.
Key Takeaways
Tiers stack, they do not rebuild. Upgrading adds modules to your existing site; nothing is torn down or re-migrated.
Every tier, including Starter, ships the custom-branded site, the full supplier catalog (~1,800 hotels, 20+ programs, 26 cruise lines), a lead inbox, and a writeable journal.
The curated editorial stream begins at Growth. The villa module and bespoke design begin at Custom. The agent directory is the Agency differentiator.
Choose by what your practice needs now, not by the longest feature list. Starting on Starter and upgrading later costs nothing structurally.
What does every tier include?
Every EAH tier ships the same foundation: a custom-branded public site, the full maintained supplier catalog, a lead inbox, a self-service portal, and a journal you can write in. These are the non-negotiable core modules, present from Starter up, because a luxury site is not credible without them.
The core modules on every tier:
The supplier modules (Virtuoso catalog, partner tabs, hotel-programs teaser) that surface the maintained catalog covered in the catalog deep dive.
Brand pages that carry the advisor's identity, story, and specialties.
The journal, writeable on every tier through a clean editor, so even a Starter advisor can publish their own pieces.
The contact module and lead inbox, so inquiries arrive structured and qualified rather than as raw email.
The distinction that surprises people: the site itself is custom-branded on every tier. Tiers do not differ by who gets a "nice" site versus a "basic" one. They differ by features. Starter is a complete luxury site, not a stripped one.
What does each tier add as you move up?
Each tier adds a defined set of capabilities on top of the tier below, without disturbing what is already there. The progression is designed so the upgrade reason is obvious when you reach it, and absent until you do.
Tier | Monthly | Setup | What it adds over the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
Starter | $89 | $499 | The complete foundation: custom-branded site, full supplier catalog, lead inbox, portal, writeable journal |
Growth | $179 | $1,499 | A curated editorial stream (operator-produced posts published to your journal) |
Custom | $349 | $2,999 | Villa module, bespoke design, premium modules, more curated posts plus topic requests |
Agency | from $899 | from $4,999 | Agent directory, multi-advisor management, unified billing, co-authored content |
Prices and gates follow the locked tier matrix; confirm current figures before publishing.
Growth exists for one reason most advisors feel within a quarter of launch: keeping a journal alive is hard. The curated editorial stream solves it by publishing operator-produced articles to the advisor's journal on a weekly cadence, which the dead-journal problem in the SEO guide explains the value of. This stream is hard-gated to Growth and above; it is the single clearest upgrade lever on the platform.
Custom is for advisors whose brand already exists in their clients' minds. It adds the villa module (private-residence inventory, available only from Custom up), bespoke design work that aligns the site to an established identity, premium modules, and a higher content cadence with topic requests.
Agency is a different shape of product: it manages many advisors under one brand, with an agent directory, multi-advisor lead routing, unified billing, and a co-authored content option. It is the tier for boutique multi-advisor firms rather than solo practices.
Why does "stacking, never rebuilding" matter?
Because it removes the cost and risk that make tier decisions stressful. On most platforms, outgrowing your plan means a migration: new template, re-entered content, broken links, downtime. On a stacking architecture, an upgrade adds modules to the site you already have. Your URL, your content, your supplier pages, and your journal all persist; new capability simply appears.
The practical consequence is that you should start at the tier your practice needs today, not the tier you imagine needing in two years. A newer advisor on Starter who grows into a curated content need moves to Growth and gains the editorial stream without losing a thing. An advisor who later builds an agency moves toward Agency without rebuilding the advisor sites underneath. The architecture is designed so that the safe choice and the economical choice are the same choice: start where you are.
This is also why the cost question, covered fully in the cost guide, is less fraught than it looks. The downside of starting one tier too low is an easy upgrade. There is no downside that requires starting over.
How should an advisor choose a tier?
Choose by your current bottleneck. If you need a credible luxury site and can keep your own journal, Starter is complete. If your journal keeps going quiet, Growth's curated stream is the fix. If your brand is established and needs bespoke alignment plus villas, Custom fits. If you manage multiple advisors, Agency is the only tier built for it.
A short decision guide:
"I need to look credible and I will write my own posts." Starter. It is a full luxury site, not a trial.
"I want the site to stay current without me writing every week." Growth. The curated editorial stream is the reason this tier exists.
"My brand is established and I book villas." Custom. Bespoke design plus the villa module are here and nowhere lower.
"I run a team of advisors." Agency. The directory and multi-advisor management are the differentiators.
If you are unsure between two adjacent tiers, take the lower one. Upgrading is additive and painless; the architecture was built specifically so that this is the right advice. The template showcase shows what the modules look like assembled, and the Founding Advisor program (setup waived, first month free, a held founding rate) applies whichever tier you start on.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to rebuild my site if I upgrade tiers on Elite Advisor Hub?
No. Tiers stack: upgrading adds modules to your existing site without re-migrating content or changing your URL. This is a core architectural principle, and it is why starting on a lower tier carries no structural penalty.
What is the difference between Starter and Growth?
Both ship a custom-branded site on the full supplier catalog with a writeable journal. Growth adds the curated editorial stream, operator-produced articles published to your journal on a weekly cadence, which is hard-gated to Growth and above. If keeping your journal current is the problem, Growth is the answer.
Which tier includes villas?
The villa module is available at the Custom tier and above. It adds private-residence inventory to the hotel and cruise catalog. Starter and Growth do not surface villas.
What does the Agency tier add that Custom does not?
Multi-advisor management: an agent directory, lead routing across advisors, unified billing, and a co-authored content option. It is built for boutique firms running several advisors under one brand, not for solo practices.
Can I start on Starter and upgrade later?
Yes, and it is the recommended approach when you are between tiers. Because tiers stack rather than rebuild, you keep everything and simply gain new modules. Start at the tier your practice needs now.
