Most of what gets written about "done for you" services spends a paragraph building anticipation before it gets to the price. That's backwards. Here are the actual numbers, laid flat, and then a plain explanation of what each one buys.
A free MarketHive account is a real profile and access to the shared news feed. That's genuinely useful, and for members who just want a presence to point people to, it's enough. It does not include a group, a splash page, a capture page, or an autoresponder — those tools live one tier up, not half-configured inside the free account.
Entrepreneur One is MarketHive's paid tier, priced at $100 a month directly from the platform. That single upgrade is what unlocks the tools described across this whole series: a branded group, capture pages, splash pages, and a real autoresponder. Buying Entrepreneur One does not build any of that for you — it hands you the tools and the blank canvas. What you do with the canvas is still on you.
TecHive's rate is $500 a month. That price includes the Entrepreneur One account itself — you are not paying $100 to MarketHive and $500 to TecHive separately, it's one number — plus the full build-out: group, splash page, capture page, and autoresponder, wired together and actually working. It also includes ongoing maintenance of everything MarketHive offers now, and anything the platform adds later, since the scope is tied to the platform itself rather than a fixed list.
Two things are excluded, plainly, and it's worth stating them without softening: TecHive does not post to a client's own news feed, and TecHive does not currently produce video. Everything else in the build is included.
There's a real, respectable third option: buy Entrepreneur One directly for $100 a month, and build the group, pages, and autoresponder yourself. Plenty of members are capable of that and would rather spend the time than the money. That's not a lesser choice — it's a different trade of time against cost, and it's the right call for anyone who has the hours and wants full hands-on control of every word and setting.
Laid side by side: $100 a month buys the tools and your own time to wire them together. $500 a month buys the tools already wired, built, and maintained, with two things left in your hands. Neither number is dressed up to look better or worse than it is — it's the same platform either way, and the difference is entirely what you're paying to have done versus doing yourself.
No promise about what any of this earns you. What's described here is a working system — a presence that functions the way it's supposed to — not a projection of results. What you build with it is yours to determine.
You now have the actual figures: what free is, what $100 a month unlocks, and what $500 a month builds and maintains on top of it. If the built-and-maintained option is the one worth a closer look, the TecHive group is where to see the details.
