Best for a single personal link page for a bio
About.me makes one personal page for a short bio, links and a photo, at $5 a month billed yearly for the AI and lead tools. A custom domain and branding removal need Pro, and it is a single profile page, not a site builder.
Who About.me is for
- Fits if you want one link that shows who you are
- Works for freelancers who want a lead form on a bio page
Who About.me is not for
- Not for you if you need more than one page or a shop, as it is a single profile
- Tight if you want your own domain, as that needs Pro at $7.50 a month
- Watch out: lead capture and scheduling work through your Google account and calendar
- Watch out: branding removal, portfolio and analytics stats sit on Pro
Why About.me gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money$5 a month billed yearly is inside the category's cheapest quarter, but the domain and branding removal sit on Pro at $7.50.
- BFree plan and trialThe free page with your own about.me link and an email signature, enough for one person, with nothing else unlocked.
- CFeaturesIt does a single profile page fully, with a Virtual Twin AI and lead capture on paid plans, but it is a smaller job than a site builder.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and you still build and word the page yourself.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Google Calendar and Google Analytics as its listed links.

Keep About.me, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of About.me you could make: digital business card and email signature. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 91 of the 104 other website and landing page builders we grade. It costs $60 a year.
What you could make
- Digital business card and email signature: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
- A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. About.me’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
