Best for building sites offline and hosting them anywhere
Mobirise is a free desktop app for Windows and Mac that builds Bootstrap sites from blocks, offline, and lets you publish them wherever you like. If you already have hosting, the app costs nothing. If you want Mobirise to host the site on your own domain, BASE is $199 a year, and the premium themes switch off if you stop paying.
Who Mobirise is for
- Great if you want to build sites offline and host them anywhere you like
- Handy when you already pay for web hosting and want a free builder for it
- Good for designers making client sites, as the Kit has no site limit
Who Mobirise is not for
- Skip it if you're on Linux, as the app is Windows and Mac only
- Tight if you stop paying for the Kit, as premium blocks, updates and support switch off
- Not for you if you want a full online store with stock and orders
Why Mobirise gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe app is free, but a site needs a server: BASE is $199 a year, about $16.58 a month, for hosting on your own domain, and KIT at $149 a year only unlocks themes in the app. That's the middle of this category. Hosting you already pay for costs nothing extra.
- BFree plan and trialThe desktop app is free for personal and commercial use, publishes unlimited sites to your own hosting or a free mobirisesite.com address, and gives 3 AI generations a month. One person could live on that; premium themes are the main thing missing.
- CFeaturesAn offline drag-and-drop builder, publishing anywhere with full code export, AI site generation and 220+ themes and extensions in the Kit. Selling is done with cart extensions through PayPal, Stripe or WhatsApp rather than a full store.
- CEase of useNo app store rating on record. You install it and start dragging blocks in, but you still build every page and, unless you pay for BASE, sort out your own hosting.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWindows and Mac, plus Mobirise AI in a browser, which is still computers only, with no Linux and no phone app. Its connections are payment and social ones: PayPal, Stripe, WhatsApp, Instagram and YouTube.

Keep Mobirise, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Mobirise you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 15 of the 30 other website and landing page builders grade higher. It costs $149 a year.
What you could make
- Templates and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, PayPal, Stripe and WhatsApp among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Mobirise’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.
