Broker Studio and Broker Kit details taken from each provider's public website, August 2026, and stated in good faith - always confirm current pricing and inclusions with each provider directly. Both are trading names of their respective owners; neither is affiliated with WeCompound. “Generalist agency” describes the general web-design market, not any particular business; its price bracket reflects common Australian custom-build quotes as at 2026.
The difference on this page, in one sentence.
Every other option hands your website to people who have never written a loan. I write them every week - then I build the site.

What the price actually buys
A WeCompound build costs more than a template because none of it is a template. Here is where the money goes.
Content written by a working broker
Every page is written by an MFAA finance broker who writes loans every week - in lending language, aware of the advertising rules, describing clients she actually serves. No content mill has ever sat a serviceability conversation.
Engineered in code, not assembled in a page-builder
Your site is built the way software companies build - real code, engineered for speed. That's why our live builds measure 92-96 out of 100 on mobile performance, published with methodology on the examples page. Speed is the first thing Google rewards and the first thing a visitor feels.
Compliance proven, not promised
Built to the published MFAA, FBAA and ASIC standards from the first line of copy - and tested where it counts: a WeCompound build has been through a real aggregator compliance review and launched with the reviewer's sign-off.
Calculators that earn their place
Custom-built into the page, on brand, and wired to capture the visitor's numbers as an enquiry in your inbox - not an embedded widget doing maths for strangers.
An asset you own outright
Your code, in your own private repository, in writing, in the scope. Leave any time - the site, the content and the Google history go with you.
One-of-one, live in weeks
No other broker has your layout, because it didn't exist before your build - and it still goes live 2 to 5 weeks from sign-off on a published timeline, not a three-month agency saga.
★★★★★

Named brokers, real builds, on the public record - not testimonials we wrote for ourselves.

Comparing broker website providers, answered
It depends on what you're buying. For the lowest monthly cost, subscription platforms like Broker Kit start around $99/mo + GST on template-based designs. For a fast templated build, Broker Studio starts at $1,999 ex GST plus a mandatory $59/mo. WeCompound sits in the custom tier: one-of-one sites designed and coded from scratch by a working MFAA finance broker, $4,500 to $12,500 fixed, with live builds measuring 92-96/100 mobile performance. The right answer depends on your stage - established brokers who want an owned, compounding asset are who WeCompound builds for.
