Ochanoko Saisai Basic vs Advanced: Plan Differences

Verdict: Basic for testing, Advanced for a durable business asset

Basic is reasonable when a shared domain, limited page count, and platform advertising are acceptable. Advanced is the better fit when the business needs its own domain, more content, more email accounts, and no platform advertising.

If a later plan change alters the public URL, assess the impact on search visibility, printed materials, social profiles, and existing links before launch.

Plan differences

Both plans provide the core local-business functions. The largest differences are public URL, storage, page and email limits, platform advertising, and custom-domain cost.

A shared domain reduces initial effort, while a custom domain creates a more portable long-term identity if the business later rebuilds the site elsewhere.

Pricing and custom-domain cost

Basic costs JPY 1,100 per month on a 12-month equivalent, while Advanced costs JPY 1,980. Shorter contracts have higher monthly equivalents, so the operating period should be defined after the trial.

Advanced has a JPY 7,920 custom-domain setup fee. If the provider registers the domain, published annual fees include JPY 3,960 for common generic domains, JPY 6,600 for .jp, and JPY 7,920 for .shop. Existing external domains require DNS planning.

Selection by business stage

Basic can fit a temporary event, short-term class, or small information site. Advanced is easier to operate when staff, case studies, FAQs, and blog content will grow over time.

Multi-location businesses need separate location pages, consistent contact data, and clear booking destinations. A more flexible CMS may be appropriate when the structure becomes complex.

SEO, analytics, and portability

Page-level metadata and headers can be configured, and Google Maps plus external analytics tools can be used. Search performance still requires specific services, prices, processes, examples, frequently asked questions, and location information.

The dedicated templates and administration reduce update work but do not guarantee direct migration to another CMS. Keep the domain, copy, images, and analytics accounts under the business owner’s control.

Checks before contracting and after launch

During the 30-day trial, place real copy, photographs, menus, store information, and enquiry routes, then test both mobile output and routine administration. Continued use requires completing the contract and payment process from the administration screen.

A proprietary builder rarely transfers its design and functions directly to another CMS. Keep original copy, images, price tables, staff data, and a URL inventory outside the platform, then retest phone links, forms, maps, and analytics after major changes.

• Build realistic pages during the trial
• Confirm the term and renewal total
• Record domain and DNS ownership
• Keep original content outside the builder
