Best Website Builders (2026): Top 9 Compared

Webflow separates site plans, bought per site, from platform plans bought by the organisation. The free Starter plan publishes to a webflow.io subdomain with two static pages, 1 GB of bandwidth and 50 form submissions. Basic adds a custom domain, 300 static pages, 10 GB of bandwidth, unlimited form submissions and password protection, but no CMS. Premium adds the Webflow CMS, code components, site search, form file upload and hosting for well-known files.

The Team plan adds Webflow Localize, publishing workflows, single-page publishing, a site activity log and API, and what the pricing page calls AEO agents. Enterprise adds granular permissions, custom roles, a dedicated account manager and enhanced service levels.

The home page describes three areas: a visual design canvas, a CMS for publishing without a developer, and an optimisation product for A/B tests and visitor personalisation that is stated to work whether or not the site is built on Webflow.

Wix is a hosted builder aimed at small businesses, and the site-building layer is now presented as Wix Harmony. A site can be generated from a prompt, then refined in the drag-and-drop editor, or started from a template; the plans page cites more than 2,000 templates. The vendor states more than 300 million sites have been built on Wix.

The plan ladder is framed around storage and collaborators rather than page counts. Light lists 2 GB of storage and two site collaborators. Core lists 50 GB and five collaborators, Business 100 GB and ten, and Business Elite unlimited storage, 100 collaborators and an advanced developer platform. Payments and scheduling appear from Core upward. Each paid plan lists a free domain for one year.

Beyond pages, the home page lists scheduling, lead management from proposal to invoice, portfolios, blogs, online courses and event ticketing. Separate offerings for agencies and enterprises cover multisite management.

Squarespace sells an all-in-one hosted site: templates, a drag-and-drop editor, hosting, unlimited bandwidth and a free domain for the first year on annual plans. The editor for version 7.1 sites is Fluid Engine.

The plans differ mainly in collaboration, code access and AI allowances. Basic allows two contributors; Core, Plus and Advanced allow unlimited contributors. Code injection, advanced code blocks, premium integrations, an announcement bar and one Google Workspace account free for the first year start at Core. Plus and Advanced add advanced website analytics and complete customisation with CSS and JavaScript. Video hosting rises from 30 minutes on Basic to unlimited on Advanced.

Each plan has monthly AI credits and an AI Visibility allowance, described as tracking a brand across AI models, available for English-language accounts only. Selling is available on every plan; for a site-first buyer the relevant facts are the contributor limits and code access above.

WordPress.com is the hosted service built on the open-source WordPress software. Plans run from Free to Commerce, with an agency tier and Enterprise above.

Every paid plan lists unlimited pages, posts, users and visitors, a free custom domain for the first year on annual plans, and a guided website builder that creates a first site by chatting with AI, subject to usage limits. Personal removes ads and allows installed plugins and select premium themes. Premium adds all premium themes, premium statistics and payment buttons for PayPal and Stripe. Business raises storage to 50 GB and adds 24/7 priority support and VideoPress with 250 GB of video storage.

The comparison lists developer access through SFTP and SSH, WP-CLI, Git commands and GitHub deployments on the higher plans, which suits teams that manage a site in code. The built-in AI assistant can generate content and design within the dashboard.

Framer is a visual site builder that began as a design tool and now sells hosted sites. The pricing page positions Basic for students, freelancers and small studios, Pro for agencies, startups and scale-ups running their marketing stack on Framer, and Enterprise for teams needing custom limits, annual billing and dedicated support.

Basic lists a free custom domain on yearly billing, 30 pages, two CMS collections, 1,000 CMS items, 50 GB of bandwidth and built-in SEO. Pro raises this to 150 pages, 10 collections, 2,500 items and 100 GB, and adds redirects, a staging environment and branching. Pro limits can be extended to 700 pages, 40 collections, 40,000 items and 2 TB. Analytics history runs 30 days on Basic and 90 on Pro.

Paid plans include monthly credits for agents and AI features, 1,000 on Basic and 3,000 on Pro, shared across the workspace. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM, unlimited editors and an uptime guarantee.

Duda describes itself as a web presence platform for professionals, and its home page names three customer groups: digital marketing agencies, vertical SaaS companies embedding a website builder, and hosting and domain companies offering sites to their own customers. The vendor states more than 23,000 such businesses use it.

Every plan allows unlimited builder projects; the price covers a number of published projects, one on Basic and Team and four on Agency and White Label, with more bought per project. Team adds three team seats and unlimited client workspaces; Agency and White Label add six seats, priority support and MCP access. Custom adds API access, 24/7 support, advanced compliance and a dedicated account team.

The home page lists end-to-end white labelling, role-based permissions, and automation through Zapier, MCP and REST APIs. An AI Visibility add-on, sold separately from $19 per month, tracks client brands across answer engines. Ecommerce and bookings are priced separately.

Hostinger sells its website builder alongside its hosting business, which is why every plan bundles hosting, a domain and email. A site starts from a short description or one of the vendor's templates, then is edited in a drag-and-drop editor; the plan cards cite more than 400 templates, while another part of the same page cites 300 or more.

Premium is for a first website: up to three sites, two mailboxes per site for a year, five AI credits for site and app creation and chatbot support. Unlimited removes the site cap, adds unlimited mailboxes for a year, 15 AI credits, 500 credits for AI agents, priority support, ecommerce and email marketing. Cloud Startup is aimed at sites needing more performance, with 1,000 agent credits.

The page states 0% transaction fees on store sales and acceptance of more than 100 payment methods. Unlimited features are subject to a fair usage policy.

Content Hub is HubSpot's content product, including a CMS for building and hosting websites. The product catalog states that Content Hub comes in Starter, Professional and Enterprise editions, with some functionality in HubSpot's free tools, and that since March 2024 new customers pay per seat on Starter and a base price on the higher editions.

Free covers landing pages, AI blog writing and basic SEO tips. Starter adds full website pages, content personalisation and removal of HubSpot branding. Professional adds content remixing, a defined brand voice and podcast publishing. Enterprise adds management of multiple sites, content approval workflows and CMS customisation.

The product page lists a scalable CMS, reporting dashboards, video tools and a customer agent. HubSpot AEO is presented as tracking how a brand appears when buyers ask AI questions. Developer documentation for the CMS is published for teams building custom themes.

Carrd describes itself as a platform for building simple, fully responsive one-page sites. That scope explains both its price and its limits: it is not a CMS or a multi-page builder, but a fast way to publish a landing page, personal profile, link page or product launch page.

Building and publishing on a Carrd URL is free for up to three sites. Pro plans are billed annually and priced by site count. Pro Lite removes branding and adds premium templates, higher-quality images, larger uploads and no element limit. Pro Standard adds custom domains with SSL through Let's Encrypt, forms, widgets and embeds, analytics through Google Analytics, Plausible or Matomo, and meta tags. Pro Plus adds redirects, password protection, variables, site files and canonical URLs.

Forms can collect contacts, signups through twenty named email services, custom submissions and payments. The documentation covers sites, building, forms, accounts and Pro features.
