Website Builders
AI website builder with client intake, invoicing and email tools
Make a site, a portfolio or a landing page without code, with the hosting included.
WordPress.com comes first because it puts a full site on your own domain for $4 a month, billed yearly, and can grow with any of more than 60,000 plugins. Wix is second for people who want bookings, a shop and an AI agent built in and will pay more for them. Carrd is third for a single page, such as a profile or a landing page, at $19 a year. Squarespace narrowly missed: a store comes on every plan from $19 a month, billed annually, but there is no free plan. For landing pages behind paid ads, Swipe Pages is the closer fit.
Free plan · from $4/mo
For: Most people building a website
WordPress.com is hosted WordPress: themes, the block editor, SSL and a CDN, with no server to run. Personal is $4 a month, billed yearly ($9 monthly), for your own domain, no ads and installs from more than 60,000 plugins, and Premium at $8 adds PayPal and Stripe payment buttons. The free plan keeps a wordpress.com address and shows ads. Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.62 from about 22,300 ratings. Know the limits: backups and developer tools need Business at $25 a month, a WooCommerce store needs Commerce at $45, and monthly billing on Personal and Premium costs more than double.
iPhone and iPad app: 4.6 out of 5 on the App Store
WordPress.com pricing and detailsFree plan · from $17/mo
For: Small businesses that want bookings and a shop built in
Wix starts free and lays out pages with drag and drop or with Aria, an AI agent that turns a written idea into sections you can edit. Its own tools cover a store, bookings, events, restaurant orders and hotel reservations, with an app market for more. Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.58 from about 16,800 ratings. It is second because a working business site costs more: Light is $17 a month, billed yearly, and takes no payments, so selling or bookings start on Core at $29. Paid plans have no free trial, only a 14-day money-back guarantee.

For: Anyone who needs one page: a profile, portfolio or landing page
Carrd builds one-page sites from templates that adjust to phones, tablets and desktops, with signup forms that feed about 20 email services and can take payments. Up to 3 sites are free on Carrd addresses, and Pro Standard is $19 a year for up to 10 sites with your own domain, forms and embeds, after a 7-day Pro trial with no card. It is third because it does a smaller job than the two above: there is no multi-page site, blog or online store, and password protection and redirects need Pro Plus at $49 a year.

From what each tool's own pages show (price, free plan, platforms, features and limits) and from what people say about it in public reviews and discussions. Not from our own testing. First place goes to the tool that suits the most people, and second and third to the best choices for the readers it leaves out.
