How we grade them
| 2.4GPADudaFair | 2.4GPAPlasmicFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBasic is $19 a month on yearly billing ($25 monthly) and includes one published site, so that's what one small business pays. It sits between this category's middle and dearer quarter. A store or paid bookings add from $7 a month per site. | BThe free plan has unlimited projects, but the first paid step is $39 a month yearly, in the dearest tenth ($29 and up). |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with White Label features and no card needed. After that every account needs a paid plan. | BA free plan with 3 collaborators, unlimited projects, custom domains and deploys elsewhere, with a Plasmic badge on hosted sites. |
| Features | BA multi-site dashboard, client accounts, AI that writes copy and builds whole sites, reusable templates and sections, AWS hosting with unlimited bandwidth, and bookings and stores as add-ons. It covers the site-building job and the agency side. | CVisual building tied to your code, but A/B testing and scheduled content start at $399 a month, and SSO and white labelling are Enterprise. |
| Ease of use | CNo app store rating on record. AI can draft a whole site, but this is a platform for people building sites for others, with templates, client permissions and add-ons to set up. | DNo rating on record, and it assumes a React codebase and developers. |

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.
