Its sites can be edited in the desktop app too. - **Themes and extensions:** More than 220 premium Bootstrap 5 themes and extensions, such as Code Editor, Form Builder, Popup Builder, Password Protect and social feeds, come with the Kit. - **Shop and cart extensions:** Simple Shop, Smart Cart and PayPal Shopping Cart add product blocks and checkout through PayPal and Stripe, or take orders as WhatsApp messages. - **Code Editor:** The Code Editor extension opens a site's HTML and CSS for manual edits, external plugins and custom blocks made from scratch. ## Good for - People who want to build sites offline and host them anywhere - Designers making client sites, which the Kit license allows without a site limit - Anyone who wants a no-cost builder for simple Bootstrap sites ## Worth knowing - The desktop app runs on Windows and Mac only; there is no Linux version. - Premium themes and extensions are sold only through the Kit, which runs for a year.

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. - **Value for money: C.** The 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. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The 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. - **Features: C.** An 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No 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. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Windows 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.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/website-builders ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Templates and forms: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, PayPal, Stripe and WhatsApp among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
