How we grade them
| 2.2GPAGoDaddy Website BuilderFair | 2.2GPAUENIFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo monthly figure on record: GoDaddy's pricing pages returned access-denied pages when read for this listing, and again when we checked for this card. With no published price for one site, it sits at C rather than being guessed. Card payments cost 2.7% + 30¢. | CGraded against its own alternatives, since it's a done-for-you service: $20.83 a month billed yearly ($24.99 monthly) plus a $79 setup fee, about what Squarespace's $19 or B12's $20 do-it-yourself plans cost. Unlimited edits done for you start at $49.17, the store at $82.50. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free site stays up for as long as it's active, with a GoDaddy banner and limited support, and there's a 7-day trial of Premium's features. Sites left inactive for over a year may be removed. | FNo free plan and no free trial. The 30-day money-back guarantee runs from the day you pay the setup fee, and it doesn't refund a custom domain. |
| Features | CTemplates, the Airo AI builder, social posting, a shared customer inbox, appointments and payments. The gaps are in the listing: taking payment for appointments needs Premium, and the Commerce plan for selling products is only offered in certain regions. | BA site built in 7 days, with a domain, SSL, hosting and email on every plan, then bookings, a 0% commission store, Google Business Profile upkeep and a marketing team higher up. It covers the whole job, with people doing the work. |
| Ease of use | CNo app store rating on record. Templates and Airo's chat get a site started, but there are social posts, an inbox and payments to set up as well. | BNo store rating on record, but there's nothing to build: a 15 to 30 minute questionnaire, and their team makes the site. After 30 days on Launch, the edits are yours to make. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, plus an iPhone and iPad app for editing the site. What it connects to is mostly GoDaddy's own, GoDaddy Payments and GoDaddy Conversations. No Android or desktop app. | BA web app with no phone or desktop app, linking to Stripe, PayPal, Square, Google Business Profile, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Calendly and Mailchimp. |
| Best for | a business site in the account that holds your domain | a business site built for you in a week |
