Pros and cons

Strikingly

Best for: Simple one-page and small sites

Price: Limited $8, Pro $16, VIP $49 a month billed yearly (as of September 2026); domains from $24.95 a year

Pros: Free to start; Clean one-page layouts; Domains can be bought in the same place

Cons: Fewer tools for multi-page business sites; Less design control than design-led builders; Check plan limits before you build

We.Inc

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 $49/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

Verdict by buyer

A personal page or a launch page on a Strikingly address: the free plan. A small business page on its own domain: the cheapest paid plan that connects a domain; confirm which one on strikingly.com/pricing. A business that needs many pages, a large store or a blog it posts to often: compare a multi-page builder. Someone who wants the site written from a description: look at an AI website builder.

First-year, renewal and three-year cost

Plan fees only, at the prices listed on September 28, 2026 and assuming no change: Limited is $96 a year and $288 over three years; Pro is $192 and $576; VIP is $588 and $1,764. Check strikingly.com/pricing for the renewal price before you pay.

Then add the domain. If you buy it through Strikingly, its help centre listed domains from $24.95 a year on September 27, 2026, so allow at least $74.85 for three years of domain. Put both lines into our website cost calculator.

A five-task test to run before you pay for Strikingly

Prices only tell you half the story. The fairest way to judge Strikingly 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.

Ownership, support and moving away

Strikingly hosts the site. If you buy the domain elsewhere and point it at Strikingly, moving later is simpler because the domain stays at your registrar. The pages are built for Strikingly's system, so plan to rebuild them if you leave.

When Strikingly wins, and when it does not

Strikingly wins for a quick, clean one-page site. It is less of a fit for a multi-page business site that grows over time.

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 $49 and Max is $99.

Who wrote this and how

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.
