Which one is for you
Pick Dorik if
- Fits if your site is mostly a blog and you're moving it from WordPress, Medium, Ghost or Substack
- Works for custom collections, like a directory or a recipe list, built without code
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to sell products, as there's a payment button but no store in the listing
- Tight if your site runs past 25 pages or 5 collections, which needs Business at $41.50 a month
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as there's only a 7-day trial before every site needs paying for
- Pricey if you're an agency: white label and client billing need Agency at $79 a month billed yearly
- Watch out: Dorik doesn't sell domains, Personal has no code export, and the $249 lifetime deal is billed as a special offer
Pick WebWave if
- Fits if you want control over how the site looks on phone, tablet and desktop
- Works for a one-page site or small store that wants no sales commission
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because only a 14-day trial is listed
- Tight if you want a blog or more pages, since One Pager is a single page and those start at Pro
- Watch out: the renewal price after the first year is not stated
- Watch out: the online store is on Business only, and support runs Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 16:00
- Watch out: prices exclude VAT
How we grade them
| 2.0GPADorikFair | 2.4GPAWebWaveFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPersonal is $20.75 a month on yearly billing ($29 monthly) for one custom domain, near the dearer quarter of what builders charge. A lifetime deal sells the same plan for $249 once, but it's billed as a special offer, so we've graded the yearly price. Domains are bought elsewhere. | B$6, $7 and $9 a month billed annually are inside the cheaper quarter of $7.42, but the page shows them as first-year prices and does not say what renewal costs. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. There's a 7-day trial with the full features and site limits of whichever plan you pick, and the listing doesn't say whether it wants a card. After that, every site needs a paid plan. | CNo free plan. A 14-day trial needs no card. |
| Features | CAI site generation, a no-code editor with UI blocks, a CMS with custom collections, a blog with imports, SEO controls, forms and a payment button. But Personal caps a site at 25 pages and 5 collections, and selling stops at that payment button. | CSeparate layouts per device, AI tools, SEO tools and a store with no commission. The listing's gaps keep it here: One Pager is a single page and the store needs Business. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. The AI gives you a first draft, then it's templates and blocks in a no-code editor. You're still building pages and setting up collections yourself. | CNo store rating on record. Pixel-level layout for three screen sizes means you do a lot of the building yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | CA web app, and the integrations are thin: Airtable for site content, plus blog imports from WordPress, Medium, Ghost and Substack. No desktop or phone app is listed. | BWeb only, with Stripe, PayPal, Google Analytics and Google Search Console listed. No apps. |
| Best for | blogs and CMS sites without code | a small site with separate phone and desktop layouts |

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.
