The short version
Townsquare’s terms say the initial term runs to the end of the commitment period in your order, that you may not terminate before it ends, and that after termination you no longer have “access to or ownership rights in the Website, the template of the Website, or any other design or look and feel.” Townsquare does not list prices on its site; it asks you to request a quote. Gold Strategics lists its prices, has no contract, and registers the domain to you.
Townsquare also posts to social media and runs a larger set of services than we do. If that bundle is what you want, it is a real reason to stay.

Where Townsquare Interactive may be the better fit
Townsquare lists website design, local listings, SEO, a lead management tool, calendar and appointments, local ad targeting and social media posting among its services. If you want all of that from one company and a team to call, that is what it sells. We do not run social accounts or ads. If the website and your Google presence are the point, and you want to own them, that is what we do.

Questions people ask before they switch
Do I keep my website if I cancel with Townsquare Interactive?
Its Terms of Service say that on termination you no longer have access to or ownership rights in the website, the template of the website, or any other design or look and feel. Exports of your own content are available if you ask in writing at the time of termination. Read your own order and ask Townsquare in writing.
Can I leave Townsquare before my commitment period ends?
The terms say you may not terminate before the initial term ends and that cancelling does not relieve you of payments for the rest of it. Your order says how long that is.
Do I keep my domain?
The domain falls under separate hosting terms at townsquarewebhost.com, which Townsquare's terms say govern domain registration. Look up who the registrant is at lookup.icann.org and ask in writing for a release before you cancel.
Can you take over a site Townsquare built?
If you control the domain, yes. We rebuild rather than copy, because the design stays with Townsquare under its terms. The new site is built on a private address and the domain is switched in one step.
What does Gold Strategics cost?
The Business Operating System is $500 to build and $349 a month, website included, with no contract. Cancel inside ninety days and the build fee is refunded.
