FrontRunner Professional pricing (2026): what the record shows
Quote-only since 2012 — but FrontRunner published full price sheets through 2010, and they're on the record: $1,695 for the Website Only Edition (or $79.95/mo × 24 + $49.95/mo hosting-license fee). Today, the one number still published is a $1,500 fee to get your own data back when you cancel.
How much does FrontRunner Professional cost?
FrontRunner Professional pricing is quote-only for current website and management plans. The $1,695 Website Only Edition price below is historical, from a 2009 archive; it is not a current offer. The published $1,500 data-backup fee applies when cancelling the management system, not when subscribing. Ask for a written quote that separates recurring service, setup and the cost of leaving.
Questions buyers ask
Is the $1,695 FrontRunner website price still available?
That figure comes from the archived Website Only Edition price sheet, not a current plan. Its monthly-payment and hosting figures are historical too. Use the dated records below to understand the old package, then request today's price and included services directly from FrontRunner.
What is FrontRunner's $1,500 data-backup fee?
FrontRunner's published client policy states a $1,500 fee for a complete backup of management data and contracts when a client cancels the management system. It says payment must be made in full before data is released. The official policy is linked in the first source below; confirm its application to your agreement before signing.
What should a FrontRunner price quote separate?
Request separate lines for the website, management system, recurring service, setup or migration, and data export on cancellation. Confirm what each line includes and use the cost calculator to compare your written quote over 12 and 36 months.
Every verifiable number
Each one is a specimen: the amount, what it buys, the class of evidence behind it, and the receipt — the page we opened and the date we read it.
“For any client cancelling their management system, the fee will be $1,500 … for a complete data backup of management data and contracts.”
Same page: invoices due in 15 days; system functionality reduced at 15 days overdue; website 'performance and visibility' degraded at 90+ days overdue.
“Website Only Edition $1695 Or as low as $79.95/month for 24 months (Plus $49.95 per month licensing, hosting & access fee)”
The Bronze page carries no price of its own, unlike the three paid tiers — consistent with it being bundled.
“Website Themes - Silver Level … $395”
“Website Themes - Gold Level … $595”
“Website Themes - Platinum Level … $1295”
“Standard Themes — $395 · Additional Locations: +$75 per location · Color Change: $200”

Anyone can pull the same bytes with a ranged request to data.commoncrawl.org. The Wayback Machine holds only the 2 Jan 2010 capture of this page, which still shows the older Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum scheme.
10 Mar 2010 capture
Known source debt: LOCALIZADA el 19-ago y verificada byte a byte, pero NO hay replay navegable: la captura del 10-mar-2010 existe solo en Common Crawl. Wayback tiene una única captura de esta URL (2-ene-2010) y la marca de marzo redirige a ella; tampoco existen standard-themes.php ni semi-customizable-themes.php en su archivo, ni captura alguna del dominio entre el 8 y el 12 de marzo de 2010. Las coordenadas ARC exactas están en el note, así que el dato es verificable por cualquiera; lo que no existe es un enlace en el que se pueda hacer clic. ★Corrige una premisa del dossier: «Wayback ingiere Common Crawl con timestamps idénticos» vale para el registro de nov-2009, NO para éste.

“Ask your Pierce rep how to get this solution at no charge”

All prices were removed from the site by 2012 (verified in archived captures); quote-only since. Partner discounts exist (Hilton Funeral Supply customers: 50% off any FrontRunner solution, Aug 2020 PR) — which tells you list is negotiable.
