Strikingly is known for simple, scrolling one-page sites. Here is who it suits and what to check before you pay.
We.Inc is free to start, no credit card. AI building from $20/mo.
Strikingly suits people who want a simple, good-looking site, often a single scrolling page, without a learning curve. It is a weaker fit for businesses that need many pages or deeper tools.
We did not have a dated copy of Strikingly's plan prices, so check strikingly.com/pricing for current plans. Its help centre said on September 27, 2026 that domains bought through Strikingly start at $24.95 a year and renew at $24.95 or more.

Best for: Simple one-page and small sites
Price: Check strikingly.com/pricing
Pros: Easy to learn; Clean one-page layouts; Good for a personal or launch page; Domains can be bought in the same place
Cons: Fewer tools for multi-page business sites; Less design control than design-led builders; Domain renews at $24.95 a year or more; Check plan limits carefully before you build
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
Someone launching a personal site, event or product page: Strikingly is a reasonable fit. A local service business that needs five or more pages: a full website builder fits better. A designer who wants fine control: look at a design-led builder. Someone who wants the site written from a description: look at an AI website builder.
Strikingly makes a clean scrolling page quickly. The editor is simple, and one-page layouts suit launches, portfolios and events where visitors read top to bottom.
It is built around simple sites, so a business that grows into many pages, detailed service listings or a larger store may find the tools thin. Check the plan limits for pages, products and features before you build.
We do not quote Strikingly's plan prices because we have no dated check of them. To work out your three-year cost, take the plan price from strikingly.com/pricing, multiply by 36 months (or three yearly payments), and add a domain: 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.
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.
Use the same rubric for every tool you try, Strikingly and We.Inc included, so neither gets a head start. For each of the five tasks give 2 points if it worked on the plan you intend to buy, 1 if it needed a higher plan, an add-on or several retries, and 0 if you could not do it. Keep a note of the time each task took. We have not published scores of our own because we have not run this test yet; the rubric is here so your comparison is fair.
Strikingly hosts your site. We could not confirm a way to export it as a working site, so plan to copy your content and rebuild if you leave. If you bought your domain through Strikingly, check how to transfer it before you switch.
If your business needs several pages and room to grow, a full website builder fits better.
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.
For simple one-page sites, yes. For a growing multi-page business site, a full website builder has more room.
