Short answer

gtm.help or GrowthMentor — which should you buy?

gtm.help is software that reads your website and returns a ranked, costed growth plan, at $29/month per workspace after a seven-day trial. GrowthMentor is a membership that books unlimited calls with vetted growth mentors. Buy gtm.help if you need a plan and the discipline to work through it. Buy GrowthMentor if you have a specific decision you want a human to challenge.

These two solve adjacent problems and are cheap enough that the comparison is real rather than theoretical. A mentor call is excellent for judgement calls — should we raise price, is this positioning right — and poor at producing a weekly execution list. Software is the opposite.

We wrote this page, so read the verdict as an argued opinion. The facts we can keep straight are format, cost and what you hold at the end of the month.

Side by side

The two options in short.

Option A

gtm.help

Paste a URL. It reads the site, asks a few questions, then returns a ranked plan of growth plays — each costed in hours and dollars, broken into steps, with the tools named. A chat that knows your business walks you through whichever one you pick.

  • $29/month per workspace, seven-day free trial
  • Plan re-ranks itself as you tick things off
  • Competitor War Room scores you against named rivals
  • Nothing to schedule and nobody to meet
Option B

GrowthMentor

A membership that gives you booking access to a vetted roster of growth marketers, founders and specialists for one-to-one video calls, as often as you want to book them.

  • Real humans with named track records
  • Good for judgement calls and second opinions
  • Membership pricing published on their own site
  • You bring the questions; the value tracks how good they are

Pick one

Which one fits you.

Choose gtm.help if

  • You know roughly what good looks like and need a queue of work
  • You want the plan re-ranked automatically as things ship
  • You'd rather not schedule anything
  • You want the same reasoning applied every week, not a new opinion each time

Choose GrowthMentor if

  • You have one big decision and want an experienced human on it
  • You learn fastest by talking it through
  • You want a second opinion on a plan you already have
  • Your problem is unusual enough that a general ranking won't catch it

When neither is the answer

If the real gap is hands on keyboard, neither a plan nor a call fixes it — hire a contractor for the channel you keep failing to ship. Our playbook library is free to read either way.

Questions

Common questions.

Is gtm.help a GrowthMentor alternative?

Partly. Both help you decide what to do about growth, but gtm.help produces a written, ranked plan tied to your website while GrowthMentor gives you access to humans who'll discuss it. They combine well: bring your gtm.help plan to a mentor call and you'll get a far sharper hour than showing up with a blank page.

Which gives faster answers?

gtm.help — the plan lands in minutes and the chat answers immediately. GrowthMentor depends on mentor availability, which for the well-reviewed ones can mean waiting.

Can AI really replace a growth mentor?

No, and we don't claim it. A mentor can read your tone on a call, tell you the thing you don't want to hear about your co-founder, and share what happened when they tried the same play. gtm.help replaces the research and prioritisation work, which is where most founder hours actually go.

What does gtm.help cost?

$29 per month per workspace, or $19 per workspace on the Agency plan from five workspaces up, after a seven-day free trial with card required.

Which is better if I've never run marketing before?

Run both if you can. gtm.help stops you freezing on what to do first; a mentor call stops you making an expensive mistake in month three. If it has to be one, start with the plan — it's cheaper and it gives you the vocabulary to make a mentor call useful.
