Code Conspirators vs. Scorpion
Looking for a Scorpion alternative? The core difference is ownership. Scorpion builds your site on its proprietary CMS, so you cannot take it with you. Code Conspirators builds on an open stack you own outright, with month-to-month terms and an attorney on staff for compliance review.
| Feature | Code Conspirators | Scorpion |
|---|---|---|
| Site ownership | You own the site, the code, and the content outright. Leave anytime and take it with you | Proprietary CMS-8 platform; clients cannot port the site elsewhere |
| Contract length | Month-to-month. No penalty clauses | 12 to 24 month terms with cancellation penalties |
| Pricing transparency | Tier ranges published on our pricing page. No hidden minimums | Estimated $72K to $144K+ per year, not published on site |
| Legal-industry exclusivity | Professional services focus, with an attorney on staff reviewing legal-vertical compliance (ABA 7.1 to 7.3) | Multi-industry platform; law firms are one vertical among many |
| Proof style | Named case studies with quantified outcomes across 8+ industries, 56 case studies total | Case results reported: Turner Law 260% traffic, Revill Law $45K to $75K monthly revenue |

Frequently asked questions
What should I ask about website ownership before signing with any provider?
Before signing with any marketing provider, ask directly: who owns the website files and code, what can I export if I leave, can the site run outside your platform, and what does a transition look like? These questions apply to any bundled or platform-based provider. Code Conspirators builds on an open stack: the site, code, and content are yours from day one. If you leave, you take everything with you.
What have clients reported about Scorpion's platform and contract terms?
Per publicly available client reports and third-party review sites, some Scorpion clients have described the platform as proprietary and not portable after cancellation, and some agreements as including minimum terms. We have not independently verified current Scorpion contract terms, and terms may vary by plan or agreement date. Confirm any ownership, portability, and cancellation terms directly with Scorpion in writing before signing.
What are Scorpion's pricing ranges?
Scorpion does not publish pricing on its website. Third-party estimates from client-reported experiences vary widely. Confirm current pricing directly with Scorpion. We are not in a position to state their pricing as fact. Code Conspirators publishes tier ranges on our pricing page so you can see the scope before any conversation.
Is Scorpion a good choice for law firms?
Scorpion is an established provider with documented results for law firms and serves a range of professional service verticals. For firms that want an all-in-one platform model with established legal market experience, it may be a reasonable fit. The questions worth asking any provider (including us) are: who owns the site, what are the exit terms, and how is compliance reviewed for your specific practice area and state bar rules?
Does Code Conspirators specialize in law firms?
Law firms are one of our primary verticals. We focus specifically on professional service firms in regulated industries (law, medical, financial advisory, and manufacturing) with an attorney on staff who reviews legal-vertical marketing for compliance issues, including ABA advertising rules. That review reduces avoidable risk; it does not guarantee approval by any regulator, state bar, or search engine.
What does "month-to-month" actually mean for my firm?
Month-to-month means the relationship continues because results justify it, not because an exit clause does. After an initial ramp period, there are no cancellation penalty clauses in our standard agreements. Confirm your specific agreement terms with us in writing before starting.
