How we grade them
| 2.6GPACarrdGood | 2.4GPATildaFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CPersonal is $10 a month for one site on yearly billing ($15 monthly), just over this category's cheapest quarter ($9). For that you get 1,000 pages, a store of up to 5,000 products, forms, a CRM and member areas, which is a lot. |
| 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 site of up to 50 pages with Zero Block and the AI tools, which is decent. But it's on a Tilda subdomain, only 100 blocks are open, and forms can't collect data. |
| 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. | BOver 600 blocks, Zero Block for free-form design and animation, AI page and text generation, a store, forms with a built-in CRM, member areas, courses and email campaigns. It covers the whole job. |
| 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 app store rating on record. Stacking blocks is quick, but Zero Block has layers, breakpoints and animation steps, so the clever stuff takes some learning. |
| 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. | BWeb only, with Stripe, PayPal, Mailchimp, SendGrid, Google Sheets and Google Analytics, plus an API on Business. No phone or desktop app. |

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.
Tilda
- The free plan cannot connect a custom domain, collect form submissions, embed HTML or upload custom fonts.
- Personal covers a single website; more than one site needs Business, and over five needs a larger Business plan priced in the account.
- The "Made on Tilda" label can be removed only on Personal or Business paid annually.
- Code export and the API are limited to Business. If a subscription lapses, the site is unpublished and its data is deleted after six months.
