Worth knowing
Jimdo
- Start allows only 10 pages and Grow 50, so a larger site needs Unlimited at $49.50 a month billed yearly.
- Selling products needs one of the separate store plans; the website plans cover bookings, payment links and invoices only.
- Support response times depend on the plan: 1 to 2 workdays on Start, 24 hours on Grow and 12 hours on Unlimited.
- Jimdo's premium page advertises plans from $9 a month, but the lowest US price its pricing data shows is $10 a month on a 2-year Start term.
Webnode
- Webnode branding stays on Free, Limited and Mini; removing it needs Standard or higher.
- Yearly prices are shown as reductions from higher crossed-out prices, and the page does not say whether renewals cost the same.
- Monthly billing costs far more: Standard is $24.90 a month against $12.90 billed yearly.
- Refunds are possible only within 15 days of a first order, not on renewals or domain registrations.
