Best for sites with modules and server-side scripts
uCoz is a website builder with modules, server-side scripts and AI tools, with a free plan and paid plans from $5.99 a month. Free sites carry ads and can be removed for inactivity, and the page does not make clear what billing term each price sits on.
Who uCoz is for
- Fits if you want a cheap site with room to add scripts later
- Works for hobby sites that can live on a free plan
Who uCoz is not for
- Tight if you stay free: ads, 400 MB and removal for inactivity
- Skip it if you need server-side scripts or live chat support on the cheapest plan: they start at $7.99
- Watch out: only monthly figures are shown, so the billing term behind each price is unclear
- Pricey if you want a shop: Shop is $9.99, and Maximal is $15.99
Why uCoz gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyBasic is $5.99 a month, inside the cheaper quarter ($7.42), but the page does not say which billing term that price assumes.
- CFree plan and trialA free plan with 400 MB, an SEO module and FTP, but with ads, no AI content or automatic backups, and the site can be removed for inactivity.
- CFeaturesModules, AI tools and server-side scripts, but scripts, AI Code and live chat support start at Optimal at $7.99.
- CEase of useNo rating on record, and you build and configure modules yourself.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Telegram listed and a public API.

Keep uCoz, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace uCoz 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: 22 of the 55 other website and landing page builders grade higher. It costs $71.88 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.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- It plugs into other products, Telegram among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. uCoz’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.
What is uCoz?
uCoz is a long-running website platform that combines templates with editable HTML and CSS, 24 ready-made modules such as blog, shop, news and forum, and, on higher plans, server-side scripting. It has a free plan and paid plans priced per month, plus AI tools for code and content and an MCP connection for outside AI agents. The company also runs sister products such as the uKit business-site builder.
Worth knowing
- The pricing page gives only monthly figures and mentions terms of 6 and 12 months for a free domain, so the billing term behind each price is not clear.
- Free sites can be removed for inactivity and carry advertising; the paid plans remove that.
- Server-side scripts, AI Code, live chat support and removal of uCoz's copyright start at Optimal.
- A separate Educational plan is listed at $7.99 a month.
