Jimdo
AI website builder for solo businesses with bookings and invoices
Weebly
Drag-and-drop website and store builder from Square
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAJimdoFair | 2.4GPAWeeblyFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CProfessional is $15 a month on yearly billing ($20 monthly), and that's the plan a business would buy, since it's the first without Square ads. That's bang in the middle of what site builders charge. Personal at $13 puts your domain on but keeps the ads. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free Play plan does more than most: 5 pages, 5 GB, bookings and payment links. But it's on a jimdosite.com address with one smart form, so a business will want to move up. | BFree for good, and it's a real site: SSL, SEO tools, lead capture forms and a store with unlimited items, coupons and inventory. The catches are Square ads and no custom domain, so a business will pay sooner or later. |
| Features | CAI-written sites, bookings with online payment, payment links, invoices, smart 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. | CPages, a blog and a store with inventory, coupons, shipping labels and digital goods, plus an App Center. The basics, done. But payments go through Square unless you're on Performance, where PayPal and abandoned cart emails live, and nothing in the listing covers bookings or memberships. |
| 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 App Store rating on record. Dragging elements onto themes that adjust for phones is about as gentle as it gets, but you're still building a whole site, pages, products and all, before it's ready. |
| 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. | BA web app that ties into Square, PayPal, Instagram and Facebook, with an App Center of third-party add-ons inside the editor. No desktop or phone app is listed. |
| Best for | solo businesses that take bookings and send invoices | small shops already taking payments with Square |

Who each one suits
Jimdo
- Solo businesses that want a site, bookings and invoices in one account
- Coaches, therapists and trades that take appointments online
- People who would rather describe their business than design pages
Weebly
- Small shops that already take payments with Square
- A simple store or site at no cost, if Square ads are acceptable

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.
Weebly
- The free plan shows Square ads and cannot use a custom domain; ads are removed only from Professional up.
- PayPal payments, item reviews and abandoned cart emails are limited to Performance; other plans take payments through Square.
- The included domain is a credit for one year on annual plans and must be registered within 45 days of buying the plan.
- Unlimited storage, advanced site stats and password protection start on Professional; digital goods and shipping labels need Personal or higher.
