Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 16 of the 104 other website and landing page builders we grade
Showit is a hosted website builder with free-form drag-and-drop layout and no code. Sites can be paired with a WordPress blog whose theme is designed inside Showit. Plans bundle hosting and differ by blog traffic, storage and WordPress access.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Showit, taken from its own pages and our grades.
A builder where the work is designing the site yourself.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $22 a month billed annually ($27 monthly), right at the category's dearer-quarter mark. The $27 plan is the first with a blog. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day trial with no card, but no domain connection or WordPress admin during it, and no free plan. |
| Features | C | Free-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. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A builder where the work is designing the site yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with WordPress as the one integration. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Photographers, coaches and creative businesses wanting layout freedom
- Site owners who also want a WordPress blog
- Designers who want free-form layout without code
Worth knowing
- During the free trial you cannot connect a domain or reach the WordPress admin.
- Blog plans cap monthly blog visits, and traffic above 200K needs a custom arrangement.
- Blog migrations are only available from WordPress and Squarespace.
- The Basic Starter Blog plan allows only the pre-installed plugins.

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 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.
