Most businesses starting on Weebly (or similar) will never grow over $200k/month. Most small business isn't like the tech industry...it doesn't scale exponentially once market fit is found. It scales based on number of widgets and number of employees and how many physical locations or whatever the business has, most small business growth is governed by the laws of physics.

+1. I'd like to add that there's businesses that just don't want to grow after a certain size. Where I'm from there's plenty of small businesses that will make enough the family that owns it and their employees, and they're perfectly fine keeping it that way.
Not all businesses are about taking over the world.
I guess most "businesses" is just side projects, and doesn't make any money at all. But most importantly: They keep paying the monthly fees, (the same fee as those who actually make money).

Also, once a company reaches $200k/month they're likely to move to a more powerful ecommerce platform like Shopify.

Why is Spotify a better choice for that scale, snf not from the beginning, but only after that?
