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 Webself if
- Fits if you want a small site and a low monthly price
- Works for a shop that needs a site in English, French or Spanish
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you want more than 10 pages on Starter, which also keeps WebSelf branding
- Watch out: the page does not say if the prices are monthly or annual, and it advertises 15% off yearly while its FAQ says up to 30%
- Watch out: the 14-day full refund applies to annual plans only
- Watch out: only Visa, Mastercard and American Express are accepted
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because there is none
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAJimdoFair | 2.2GPAWebselfFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | B$4.50 a month for Starter and $7.50 for Growth, against a category middle of $12. The page does not say whether these are monthly or yearly figures. |
| 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 of the Growth plan, and no free plan. The page does not say whether a card is needed. |
| 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. | CDrag-and-drop editor, online store, domain name, multilingual sites and statistics. Starter is capped at 10 pages and 1 GB. |
| 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 the pages and store yourself. |
| 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. | CWeb only, with no integrations on record. |

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.
