Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 17 of the 55 other website and landing page builders we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about uCoz, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, and you build and configure modules yourself.
- 1
Best for sites with modules and server-side scripts
Free sites carry ads and can be removed for inactivity, and the page does not make clear what billing term each price sits on.
- 2
Paid plans start at $5.99 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $5.99 per month.
- 3
There is a free plan
400 MB of storage, the SEO module, FTP access and the subscriptions module, but no ad-free site, AI content generation or automatic backups.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Modules and templates
24 ready-made modules, including blog, shop, news and forum, with templates whose HTML and CSS can be edited.
- 6
Server-side scripts
Optimal and above run custom logic in PHP 8, Node.js or Python with MySQL and Cron, and the site is reachable by FTP.
- 7
AI code and content
AI Code assists with templates and code from Optimal, and AI content generation covers blog, news, publisher, file catalog and ad board modules from Basic.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 17 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 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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Basic is $5.99 a month, inside the cheaper quarter ($7.42), but the page does not say which billing term that price assumes. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 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. |
| Features | C | Modules, AI tools and server-side scripts, but scripts, AI Code and live chat support start at Optimal at $7.99. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record, and you build and configure modules yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with Telegram listed and a public 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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Hobby sites, forums and news portals that use ready-made modules
- Builders who want to edit HTML and CSS or run server scripts
- People who want a free plan with a path to a cheap paid tier
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.

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 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.
