Which one is for you
Pick Jimdo if
- Fits if you're a coach, therapist or tradesperson who takes appointments online
- Works for people who want to send invoices from the same place as their website
Look elsewhere if
- Too light for a site of more than 50 pages, unless you pay $49.50 a month for Unlimited
- Skip it if you mainly sell products, as that needs a separate store plan from $18 a month
- Tight if you need fast help on Start, where replies take 1 to 2 workdays
- Watch out: Jimdo's premium page says plans start at $9 a month, but its pricing data shows $10 at the lowest, on a 2-year term
- Not for you if you want an app or an API; it's web only, with neither in the listing
Pick Rocketspark if
- Fits if you want one monthly bill and a month-long trial first
- Works for a small business that wants Xero or Mailchimp connected
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you are on a budget: $29 a month is above what most site builders charge
- Skip it if you want a store, because Ecommerce Lite is $39 and stops at 10 products
- Watch out: cancelling takes the site offline, and data is kept for two months
- Watch out: extra users are $3 each a month, and payment is by card only
- Watch out: you cannot pause a subscription, but support can offer a reduced-price on-hold plan
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAJimdoFair | 2.0GPARocketsparkFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStart is $11 a month for one site on yearly billing ($12 monthly, $10 on a 2-year term), with a domain, no ads and invoicing. That's just over this category's cheapest quarter ($9), so it lands in the ordinary middle. | D$29 a month, or $299 a year, is above the category's dearer quarter of $22. AI writing and analytics start at $39, and the top website plan is $90. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free Play plan has 5 pages, 5 GB, bookings and payment links. But it's on a jimdosite.com address with one form, so a business will want to move up. | CA 30-day trial with no payment details, and no free plan. |
| Features | CAI-written sites, bookings with online payment, payment links, invoices, forms and a local listings add-on. The gaps are in the listing: Start allows 10 pages and Grow 50, and selling products needs a separate store plan. | CTemplates, unlimited pages, forms, domain and email, and stores up to unlimited products. Forms are capped at 5 on the entry plan, and a store needs its own plan. |
| Ease of use | CNo app store rating on record. Describing your business to the AI gets you a first draft quickly, but there's still a site, a booking calendar and invoices to set up. | CNo rating on record. You build pages and a store from templates. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, and what it connects to is mostly Google Ads, Google Maps, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. No phone or desktop app, and no API in the listing. | BWeb only, with Mailchimp, Xero, Google Analytics and Google Workspace. |
| Best for | solo businesses that take bookings and send invoices | a New Zealand site builder with a month-to-month price |

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.
