How we grade them
| 2.6GPAStrikinglyGood | 2.2GPAWebnodeFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BLimited is $8 a month on yearly billing ($12 monthly), covering up to 2 sites on your own domain, so it's inside this category's cheapest quarter ($9). It's capped at 5 pages and keeps Strikingly branding; Pro at $16 lifts both. | BMini is $8.50 a month for one site on yearly billing ($14.50 monthly), with a free domain for a year, an email account and stats, inside this category's cheapest quarter ($9). Limited at $4.50 connects a domain, but its form takes 1 field. Renewal prices aren't stated. |
| Free plan and trial | CUnlimited free sites with Strikingly branding, which is generous, but none of them can use your own domain. The larger page, storage and store limits all need a paid plan. | CFree for good, with hosting and unlimited pages, but on a webnode.com address with Webnode branding. Your own domain needs a paid plan. |
| Features | CClick-to-edit pages, a simple store, memberships, forms, a blog, and newsletters and live chat on VIP. It's sized for small sites, though: 100 pages and 300 products on Pro, and multiple languages only on VIP at $49. | CAn AI first draft, a simple editor, a store, members-only pages, several languages, backups and email on your domain. The basics are there, but the store, AI Assistant and backups start on Standard, and variants, discounts and international shipping wait for Profi. |
| Ease of use | B4.56 from about 600 App Store ratings. Pick a template, click on anything you want to change and publish straight away. | CNo app store rating on record. The AI draft gets you started and the editor is a simple one, but you're still building and filling the site yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and an iPhone app, with PayPal and Stripe for the store and feeds from Facebook, Instagram and X. No Android or desktop app. | CWeb only. It hooks into Google Analytics, Tag Manager and AdSense, plus SimplyBook.me for bookings and Billdu for invoicing, but there's no phone app, desktop app or API in the listing. |
| Best for | small, quick sites on a small budget | cheap small-business sites with email included |
