Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 34 of the 55 other website and landing page builders we grade
Plasmic is a visual builder for websites, storefronts and internal tools that sits on top of an existing tech stack instead of replacing it. Developers register their own React components, and marketers and designers then build pages from them and publish. Projects can be hosted by Plasmic or deployed to third-party servers.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Plasmic, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, and it assumes a React codebase and developers.
- 1
Best for a visual builder inside your React codebase
Plasmic is a visual builder that plugs into your own React codebase, with a free plan for up to 3 collaborators.
- 2
Paid plans start at $39 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $39 per month, billed yearly.
- 3
There is a free plan
3 collaborators, unlimited projects and headless CMS, custom domains on Plasmic hosting and deploys to other servers. Plasmic-hosted sites show a Plasmic badge.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Visual editor on your stack
Developers register code components as building blocks, and non-developers assemble pages from them without a developer ticket.
- 6
Data connectors
Built-in connectors cover sources such as Supabase, Contentful and Shopify, and any HTTP or GraphQL endpoint can be connected.
- 7
Figma import
A plugin turns Figma designs into code in Plasmic Studio.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 34 of 55
That is against the other website and landing page builders we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Plasmic 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.

The report card
Best for a visual builder inside your React codebase
Plasmic is a visual builder that plugs into your own React codebase, with a free plan for up to 3 collaborators. The free plan shows a Plasmic badge on hosted sites, paid plans jump from $39 to $103 to $399, and it assumes you have developers.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | The free plan has unlimited projects, but the first paid step is $39 a month yearly, in the dearest tenth ($29 and up). |
| Free plan and trial | B | A free plan with 3 collaborators, unlimited projects, custom domains and deploys elsewhere, with a Plasmic badge on hosted sites. |
| Features | C | Visual building tied to your code, but A/B testing and scheduled content start at $399 a month, and SSO and white labelling are Enterprise. |
| Ease of use | D | No rating on record, and it assumes a React codebase and developers. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with Figma, Supabase, Contentful, Shopify and GraphQL plus an API. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Plasmic is for
- Fits if your team has React developers and wants marketers editing pages
- Works for a free start with up to 3 collaborators
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you have no developers, as it plugs into a React codebase
- Tight if you want the badge off: that is the $39 Starter plan
- Pricey if you need A/B testing or scheduled content, which start at $399 a month
- Watch out: only yearly-billed prices are shown, and extra collaborators cost $20 to $40 each
Good to know
Good for
- Developer teams that want marketers to build pages from their own components
- Projects that must deploy to existing infrastructure rather than a vendor's host
- Teams of a few collaborators who can start on the free plan
Worth knowing
- Pricing is by collaborator count: the free and Starter plans cap at 3 and Pro at 10, with $20 per extra collaborator on Pro.
- A/B testing, scheduled content and custom targeting start at Scale, which is $399 a month billed yearly.
- Only yearly-billed prices are shown; the page says yearly billing saves 20% but gives no monthly-billed figures.
- SSO, white-labeling and embedding are Enterprise features sold through sales.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Plasmic 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.
It costs $468 a year.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, Figma, Supabase and Contentful among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Plasmic’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.
