How the Tiers Stack: Starter, Boutique Agency, and Agency
Elite Advisor Hub has three tiers, and they stack: every tier ships a custom-branded site on the full supplier catalog, and moving up adds modules to that same site rather than rebuilding it. Starter is a complete luxury site for a solo advisor. Boutique Agency adds directories and a weekly curated editorial stream. Agency adds multi-advisor management under one brand.
The most common worry in choosing a tier is picking wrong and paying to redo everything. On a stacking architecture that worry does not apply. Here is what each tier includes, what it costs, and how to choose.
Key Takeaways
Tiers stack, they do not rebuild. Upgrading adds modules to your existing site; your URL, content, and journal stay where they are.
Every tier, including Starter, ships a custom-branded site, the supplier catalog, hotel program pages, a lead inbox, and a journal you can write in.
Boutique Agency adds the hotel and cruise directories and a curated editorial post every week.
Agency is built for firms with several advisors: one brand, a profile page per advisor, per-advisor lead routing, and one bill.
What does every tier include?
Every tier ships the same foundation: a custom-branded site on your own domain, hotel program pages for Aman, Four Seasons, Belmond, and more, a journal with a clean editor, a contact form with a private lead inbox, client testimonials, an Instagram feed, a curated supplier media gallery, SEO and structured data for search and AI engines, analytics, and one-on-one support.
The site itself is custom-branded on every tier. Tiers do not differ by who gets a better-looking site. They differ by features. Starter is a complete luxury site, not a reduced one.
What does each tier cost and add?
| Tier | Setup | Monthly | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $1,499 | $59 | The foundation: custom-branded site, hotel program pages, journal, lead inbox, testimonials, Instagram feed, media gallery, SEO, analytics, support |
| Boutique Agency | $2,500 | $79 | Hotel directory with 1,795+ properties and lead routing, cruise directory, one curated editorial post a week, YouTube and CRM integration, team page, villa catalog add-on |
| Agency | $4,999 | Quoted on number of sites | Multiple advisors under one brand, affiliate sites managed in one place, advisor directory with profile pages, per-advisor lead routing, two co-authored posts a week per advisor, white-label, villas, bespoke design, unified billing |
Boutique Agency is the tier most established advisors choose. The directories let clients browse properties and cruise lines on your site and send an inquiry straight to you, and the curated editorial stream solves the problem most advisors hit within a quarter of launch: keeping a journal current. The villa catalog is available as a $29 a month add-on.
Agency is a different shape of product. It manages many advisors under one brand, with an advisor directory, a profile page for each advisor, inquiries routed to the advisor the client chose, and one bill across every site. Villas and bespoke design are included.
Why does stacking matter?
Because it removes the cost and risk that make tier decisions stressful. On most platforms, outgrowing your plan means a migration: a new template, re-entered content, broken links. On Elite Advisor Hub, an upgrade adds modules to the site you already have. Your URL, content, supplier pages, and journal all stay; the new capability appears alongside them.
The practical result is that you should start at the tier your practice needs today. An advisor on Starter who wants the editorial stream moves to Boutique Agency without losing anything. An advisor who later builds a team moves to Agency without rebuilding the site underneath.
How should an advisor choose a tier?
Choose by your current bottleneck:
"I need to look credible and I will write my own posts." Starter. It is a full luxury site.
"I want clients to browse hotels on my site, and I want the journal to stay current without writing every week." Boutique Agency.
"I run a team of advisors under one brand." Agency.
If you are between two tiers, start with the lower one. Upgrading is additive. The template showcase shows the modules assembled on live sites, and you can book a consultation to talk through which tier fits your practice.
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 moving content or changing your URL. Starting on a lower tier carries no structural penalty.
- What is the difference between Starter and Boutique Agency?
- Both ship a custom-branded site on the supplier catalog with a journal you can write in. Boutique Agency adds the hotel and cruise directories with lead routing, a curated editorial post every week, YouTube and CRM integration, and a team page.
- How much does Elite Advisor Hub cost?
- Starter is $1,499 to set up and $59 a month. Boutique Agency is $2,500 to set up and $79 a month. Agency is $4,999 to set up, with the monthly fee quoted on the number of advisor sites.
- Which tier includes villas?
- The villa catalog is a $29 a month add-on on Boutique Agency and is included on Agency. It is not available on Starter.
- Can I start on Starter and upgrade later?
- Yes. Because tiers stack rather than rebuild, you keep everything and gain new modules when you upgrade. Start at the tier your practice needs now.
