The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/website-builders ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Telegram among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
