Best for free-form site design with a WordPress blog
Showit is a drag-and-drop builder with an optional WordPress blog, from $22 a month on annual billing. The base plan has no blog, blog plans cap monthly visits, and you can't connect a domain during the trial.
Who Showit is for
- Fits if you want to place things freely on the page and run a WordPress blog behind it
- Works for photographers and small studios who care about layout
Who Showit is not for
- Skip it if you want a blog on the cheapest plan, because the $22 plan has none
- Tight if you can't test properly: the trial blocks domain connection and the WordPress admin
- Pricey if your blog grows, with $63 at 100K visits and $119 at 200K
- Watch out: blog migration works only from WordPress and Squarespace, and Basic Starter allows only pre-installed plugins
Why Showit gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$22 a month billed annually ($27 monthly), right at the category's dearer-quarter mark. The $27 plan is the first with a blog.
- CFree plan and trialA 14-day trial with no card, but no domain connection or WordPress admin during it, and no free plan.
- CFeaturesFree-form design, a WordPress blog, backups and SEO controls. Gaps: no blog on the base plan, visit caps, and migrations only from WordPress and Squarespace.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. A builder where the work is designing the site yourself.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with WordPress as the one integration.

Keep Showit, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Showit 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: 65 of the 104 other website and landing page builders grade higher. It costs $264 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
What this rests on. Showit’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.
