Which one is for you
Pick Site.pro if
- Fits if you want a first site for next to nothing and can live with a few menu items
- Works for a small shop that needs payment methods like Klarna, Mollie or PayPal
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free: 2 AI prompts a day, 3 menu items, 100 MB of site space and 1 MB images
- Watch out: the $0.9 Starter price has no billing term shown, so the real bill is unclear
- Not for you if you want to see every plan first, as only Free and Starter could be read
- Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app, because it only runs on the web
- Watch out: the price figures load with JavaScript and can change with the currency selected
Pick SITE123 if
- Fits if you've never made a website and don't want to think about layout
- Works for simple business, event or personal sites, with live chat help around the clock
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you might move the site later, as it can't be downloaded or moved off SITE123
- Skip it if you want to pay monthly, since every package is paid up front for terms of 3 months to 10 years
- Too light for designers who want a say in where things go on the page
- Watch out: public pages show one Premium price; the other five packages are priced only inside the app
- Tight if you need email, which comes only with Advanced, Professional and Gold, or as a separate purchase
How we grade them
| 2.6GPASite.proGood | 2.0GPASITE123Fair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AStarter is listed at $0.9 a month, well under the $4.05 that is 60% of what the cheaper quarter of website builders charges. The page does not say what billing term that price needs, so check it before you pay. | CPremium is $10.80 a month on a yearly plan paid up front, going by SITE123's own FAQ, for one site with your own domain and a store. That's the ordinary middle of this category. Public pages show one Premium price; the other packages are priced only inside the app. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free plan has a .site.pro address, 20+ templates, 100 MB of space and 2 AI prompts a day. Menu items stop at 3 and images at 1 MB, which a real site will run into. No trial is listed. | CFree with no time limit, on a SITE123 subdomain, but only 250 MB of storage and 250 MB of bandwidth, and a SITE123 floating tag on the site. |
| Features | CAI generation, 200+ templates, store and cart widgets, live co-editing and site import. The gaps are on record: only the Free and Starter plans could be read, so what higher plans add is unknown. | CContent-first building, sites that fit phones, a free image bank, a store, and mailboxes on higher packages. The gaps are in the listing: you don't control the layout, email needs Advanced or above, and sites can't be downloaded or moved off SITE123. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating is on record, and it is a web app where you build the site yourself, so there is a learning curve. The AI prompt gives you a starting page, but you still shape it. | CNo app store rating on record. There's no layout work at all, since SITE123 arranges the pages, and live chat help is there at any hour. You still bring every word and picture. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with no apps for phones or computers. It does connect to PayPal, Stripe, Klarna, Mollie, Google Maps and YouTube. | CWeb only, with no integrations in the listing, no phone or desktop app and no API. Hosting, domain and mailboxes all stay inside SITE123. |
| Best for | a very cheap first website with an AI starting point | a first website with no design work |

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.
