Google Sites has no price of its own. The cost is your Google account, or your team's Workspace seats.
We.Inc is free to start, no credit card. AI building from $20/mo.
Google Sites is free with a personal Google account. For a business it comes with Google Workspace, which listed Business Starter at $7, Business Standard at $14 and Business Plus at $22 per user a month on flexible billing as of September 2026. Annual Starter and Standard were $6.30 and $12.60 for the first 12 months (first 20 users, new customers), then $7 and $14.
So Google Sites is only "free" for your business if you already pay for Workspace for email. Its limits, not its price, are why most businesses move on.

Best for: Internal team sites, project pages and simple info sites
Price: Free with a Google account; included in Workspace from $7 per user a month (checked Sept 28, 2026)
Pros: Free if you have a Google account; Easy for anyone who uses Google Docs; Embeds Docs, Sheets, Calendar and Maps; Good sharing controls for internal sites
Cons: Few design options; No built-in online store or blog; Limited search settings for a public business site; Business use means Workspace seats
Best for: People who want to describe a site or web app in plain English and have AI build it
Price: Free plan: up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address, no AI. AI building from $20/mo (Starter, 250 credits). Pro $50/mo, Max $99/mo.
Pros: Describe what you want in chat and AI builds a full, editable site or app; Edit by clicking on the page, by asking in chat, or in a real code editor; Export the React and TypeScript code to GitHub, so you are never locked in; Unlimited sites on paid plans, custom domains from Starter
Cons: The free plan is templates only; AI building needs a paid plan; Newer platform with a smaller app marketplace than the big names; Store features are simpler than a dedicated ecommerce platform
A team intranet, class site or project page: Google Sites is a good, free fit. A business already paying for Workspace that needs a one-page info site: fine for a start. A business that wants to win customers from search, take bookings or sell: a website builder fits better.
At September 28, 2026 prices: a sole owner on Business Starter pays $84 a year on flexible billing. A five-person team pays $420 a year, $1,260 over three years; on annual billing the first year is $378 with the intro discount, so $1,218 over three years. On Business Standard the same team pays $840 a year.
That money buys email, storage and Google's office apps. If you would pay it anyway, Sites adds nothing to the bill. If you would not, compare it with a website builder: We.Inc Starter is $240 a year for AI building and a custom domain.
Google Sites offers a small set of themes and layouts, with no built-in online store, blog or booking. Search settings are basic compared with a website builder. Connecting your own domain needs extra setup; check Google's help pages for the steps on your account type.
Prices only tell you half the story. The fairest way to judge Google Sites is to give it the same small job you would give any builder: a five-page website for a local service business (home, services, about, reviews and contact).
1. Build the service list with a price or short description for each service. 2. Add a quote request form and send yourself a test entry to check it arrives. 3. Connect a custom domain and confirm the site loads on it with a padlock. 4. Change one piece of content, such as a new service or opening hours, and time how long it takes. 5. Check the result on a phone.
Note which plan each step needed. That tells you the plan you will really pay for, which is often not the cheapest one advertised. When the site is live, run it through our free website grader to check search basics and speed.
Your content is in your Google account. There is no one-click export to another builder, so plan to rebuild the pages; for a small site that is a short job. Your domain stays yours.
Where We.Inc fits: the free plan publishes up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address, with no AI and no custom domain, and needs no credit card. AI building, where you describe the site and it is written for you, starts at $20 a month (Starter, 250 credits); Pro is $50 and Max is $99.
We.Inc makes a competing website builder, so read this with that in mind. Every price on this page comes from the vendor's own pricing page on the date shown, with a link to it. We say where the other option is the better choice, and we do not publish scores for tests we have not run.
