Which one is for you
Pick Carrd if
- Fits if you need a link-in-bio page, a profile or a one-page portfolio
- Works for side projects that each need one page on their own domain, with an email signup form
Look elsewhere if
- Too light for a business that needs several pages, a blog or a shop
- Watch out: Pro Lite at $9 a year only removes branding; your own domain and forms need Pro Standard at $19
- Tight if you need password protection, redirects or site downloads, which wait for Pro Plus at $49 a year
- Pricey if you run many sites, since each tier's price rises with the count, up to $999 a year for 1,000
- Not for you if you want a phone app for quick edits, as there isn't one
Pick Pory if
- Fits if you want a client or member portal over your own records
- Makes sense if you keep it to 5 users on the free plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a marketing website, as it builds logged-in portals
- Tight if you stay free: 5 users and a Powered by Pory badge
- Pricey if you want your own domain, colors and logo, which need Pro at $49 a month
- Watch out: more than one portal needs Enterprise at $119 a month
- Not for you if you need SSO or procurement portals, which the pricing page says are not covered
How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | APro Standard is $19 a year for up to 10 sites with your own domain, forms and embeds, about $1.58 a month for one site. That's way under 60% of this category's cheapest quarter ($5.40). Pro Lite at $9 a year only removes the branding. | DPro is $49 a month billed yearly for 1 portal, in the dearest tenth ($29 and up) of website builders, though it is a different kind of product. |
| Free plan and trial | CUp to 3 free sites on Carrd addresses with the core builder and a Made with Carrd credit, plus a 7-day Pro trial with no card needed. But there's no custom domain or forms without paying. | CA free plan has 1 portal and 5 users with a badge, and Pro can be tried for 7 days with no card. |
| Features | CIt does one-page sites fully: templates that fit every screen, signup and payment forms feeding about 20 email services, embeds and analytics. But it's a smaller job, with no multi-page site, blog or online store. | CIt does the portal job in full, but that is a narrower job than a general website builder, and SSO is not covered. |
| Ease of use | CNo app store rating on record. One page from a template keeps things simple, but you're still building that page yourself, element by element. | CNo rating on record, and you connect your data and build the portal yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with forms feeding about 20 email services such as Mailchimp, Kit and Klaviyo, plus Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad and Google Analytics. No phone or desktop app. | CWeb only, with only Airtable listed as an integration. |

Worth knowing
Carrd
- Carrd builds one-page sites only; there is no multi-page site, blog or online store.
- Custom domains, forms and embeds need Pro Standard; Pro Lite only removes branding and unlocks .crd.co addresses.
- Password protection, redirects and downloading a site's files need Pro Plus.
- The price of each Pro tier rises with the number of sites, from 3 or 10 sites up to 1,000.
Pory
- It builds logged-in portals around records, not marketing websites, so it is a narrower product than most website builders.
- The free plan stops at 5 users and shows a Powered by Pory badge.
- A portal is one branded front door; more than one portal needs Enterprise.
- There is no contact-sales tier, and the pricing page says SSO and procurement portals are not covered.
Key features
Carrd
- One-page sites from templates
- Start from dozens of templates or a blank page; every site adjusts to phones, tablets and desktops on its own. Pro plans add premium templates.
- Signup and payment forms
- Pro Standard forms send signups to about 20 email services, including Mailchimp, Kit, beehiiv and Klaviyo, and can take payments.
- Custom domains
- Pro Standard and Pro Plus publish to any domain you own with free SSL through Let's Encrypt. Pro Lite uses unbranded .crd.co addresses.

- Embed custom code and widgets from Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad, Typeform and other services, from Pro Standard up.
- Analytics and tracking

Pory
- AI portal generation
- Describe who signs in and what each person needs, and Pory builds the tables, roles and pages. AI builds and edits are part of paid plans, with no credits.
- Own database
- Each portal has its own database, so there is nothing to sync. CSV import is supported up to 5,000 rows at a time; Airtable bases cannot be imported yet.
- Logins scoped to records
- Every person gets a login that shows only their own records, with passwordless sign-in and self sign-up into a role you choose.
- Forms, approvals and status tracking
- Forms with typed fields and file uploads file records, and approve or reject buttons keep who decided and why on the record. Submitters see a status tracker.
- Boards, checklists and reminders
- Records can be shown as a board by status, carry checklists and assignments, and trigger date-based reminders in an in-app inbox and by email.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
