Yola
Website builder with AI tools, a free plan and done-for-you sites
Which one is for you
Pick Weebly if
- Fits if you already take payments with Square and want the shop online too
- Works for a free store with unlimited items, if Square ads on the site are acceptable
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want PayPal at checkout, as that needs Performance at $32 a month
- Not for you if you need bookings or memberships, which the listing doesn't cover
- Tight if you're staying free, since there's no custom domain and the Square ads stay
- Pricey if you just want the ads gone: Personal at $13 still shows them, so it's Professional at $15
- Watch out: the included domain is a one-year credit that must be registered within 45 days of buying the plan
Pick Yola if
- Fits if you want to start a small site free and upgrade later
- Works for someone who would pay Business Elite to have it built for them
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want one bill: online store plans are separate and start at $14.95 a month
- Tight if you need custom code or several languages, because both start at Business at $19.95
- Pricey if you want the built-for-you plan, at $34.95 a month
- Watch out: the free plan has limited self-service support only
- Watch out: cancellation is by email, according to the pricing page FAQ
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAWeeblyFair | 2.2GPAYolaFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CPersonal is $9.95 a month billed annually, between the cheaper quarter at $7.42 and the middle at $12.80. Business is $19.95 and Business Elite $34.95. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree with no time limit, with 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. | CA free plan on a Yola subdomain with templates and limited self-service support. A custom domain and 24/7 email support start at Personal. |
| Features | CPages, a blog and a store with inventory, coupons, shipping labels and digital goods, plus an App Center. 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. | CAI builder, templates, forms and hosting. Gaps the listing shows: JavaScript and CSS changes and multiple languages need Business, and a store is a separate plan. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. You drag elements onto themes that adjust for phones, but you're still building a whole site, pages, products and all, before it's ready. | CNo store rating on record. You build and edit the site yourself, unless you pay for Business Elite. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BWeb only, with YouTube, Google Maps, Facebook, Instagram and Amazon listed. No apps. |
| Best for | small shops already taking payments with Square | a small site with a free start and an AI builder |

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.
