Which one is for you
Pick Webnode if
- Fits if you want a site, a domain and a work email address for under $10 a month
- Works for personal sites and blogs that can live for free on a webnode.com address
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if Webnode branding on your site bugs you, as it stays until Standard at $12.90
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $24.90 for Standard against $12.90 billed yearly
- Tight if you might want your money back later, since refunds stop 15 days after a first order
- Watch out: yearly prices are shown cut from higher ones, and the page doesn't say whether renewals cost the same
- Too light for a shop below Profi, as variants, discounts and international shipping wait for it at $22.90
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

More comparisons
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.
