# GoDaddy Website Builder > Template website builder with marketing tools and a free plan GoDaddy Website Builder, sold as Websites + Marketing, builds a business site from templates or through Airo, GoDaddy's AI builder, alongside social posting and a shared customer inbox. Paid tiers add appointment payments and, in some regions, a Commerce plan for selling products. A free site stays available after the trial ends, with a GoDaddy banner on it. - **Category:** Website & Landing Page Builders - **Made by:** GoDaddy Operating Company, LLC - **Website:** https://www.godaddy.com/websites/website-builder - **Runs on:** Web, iOS - **Facts last checked:** Oct 17, 2026 ## Pricing GoDaddy Website Builder's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Templates and site editing:** Build a business, portfolio, personal or ecommerce site from professional templates, and edit it from a browser or the GoDaddy iPhone and iPad app. - **Airo AI builder:** Airo is GoDaddy's conversational builder, which sets up a customized site or web app from a chat, and AI tools write social captions and hashtags. - **Social posting and marketing:** Create, schedule and track social media posts and promotional graphics, and design marketing content from templates in the same account. - **Customer inbox:** GoDaddy Conversations gathers messages from business email, social media, website forms and chat into one inbox. - **Payments, appointments and online store:** GoDaddy Payments handles online store and appointment payments. Taking payment for appointments needs Premium, and selling products needs Commerce. ## Good for - Small businesses that already buy their domain and email from GoDaddy - Owners who want the website and social posting in one account - Simple service sites that take bookings and payments ## Worth knowing - GoDaddy's pricing pages returned access-denied pages when read for this listing, so no plan prices are given here. - The Commerce plan for selling products is available in certain regions only, and online appointment payments need Premium. - Card payments through the online store or appointments cost 2.7% + 30¢ per transaction at GoDaddy Payments' standard rate. - After the 7-day trial a site falls back to the free service, which carries a GoDaddy banner and limited support. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. GoDaddy's builder suits owners who already keep their domain and email at GoDaddy and want the website, social posts and customer messages in one account. The free site stays up after the 7-day trial, with a GoDaddy banner on it. What the paid plans cost, we can't tell you: GoDaddy's pricing pages wouldn't load for us. - **Value for money: C.** No monthly figure on record: GoDaddy's pricing pages returned access-denied pages when read for this listing, and again when we checked for this card. With no published price for one site, it sits at C rather than being guessed. Card payments cost 2.7% + 30¢. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free site stays up for as long as it's active, with a GoDaddy banner and limited support, and there's a 7-day trial of Premium's features. Sites left inactive for over a year may be removed. - **Features: C.** Templates, the Airo AI builder, social posting, a shared customer inbox, appointments and payments. The gaps are in the listing: taking payment for appointments needs Premium, and the Commerce plan for selling products is only offered in certain regions. - **Ease of use: C.** No app store rating on record. Templates and Airo's chat get a site started, but there are social posts, an inbox and payments to set up as well. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, plus an iPhone and iPad app for editing the site. What it connects to is mostly GoDaddy's own, GoDaddy Payments and GoDaddy Conversations. No Android or desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from GoDaddy's own pages on 17 October 2026. GoDaddy's plan page returned an access-denied page again when we checked it for this card, so the grades rest on the listing. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among website and landing page builders - GoDaddy Website Builder's GPA of 2.2 is higher than 9 of the 30 other website and landing page builders we grade, and level with 6. - It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 8 of 30) and worst on ease of use (C, above 0).

What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. - You could make: Templates and forms: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
