Weebly review: a simple, low-cost builder with a Square connection

Weebly is one of the older drag-and-drop builders and is owned by Square. Here is who it suits today and what it costs.

We.Inc is free to start, no credit card. AI building from $20/mo.

The verdict

Weebly suits people who want a simple, inexpensive site and are comfortable with a straightforward drag-and-drop editor. Its pricing page, as listed on September 27, 2026, showed a free plan and Personal, which connects a custom domain, at $13 a month billed annually or $16 month to month.

Weebly is owned by Square, which also offers Square Online for selling, so compare the two if selling is your main goal.

Pros and cons

Weebly

Best for: Simple, low-cost sites

Price: Free; Personal $13 a month billed annually (listed Sept 27, 2026)

Pros: Free plan; Low-cost entry plan with a custom domain; Simple drag-and-drop editor; Part of Square

Cons: Fewer modern design options than newer builders; Selling may fit Square Online better; Monthly billing costs more; Check which features need higher plans

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 $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

Verdict by buyer

Someone who wants a basic site at low cost: Weebly is a reasonable fit. A business that mainly sells online and uses Square: compare Square Online first. A local service business that wants a modern, distinctive design: look at newer builders. Someone who wants the site written from a description: look at an AI website builder.

What Weebly does well

It is simple and cheap. The editor is easy to pick up, there is a free plan, and the entry paid plan connects a custom domain for a low monthly price.

Where Weebly falls short

Newer builders offer more modern templates and design tools. Because Square also runs Square Online, check which of the two Square points you to for the features you need.

What Weebly costs: first year and three years

Using the Personal price listed on September 27, 2026 and assuming no change: $13 a month billed annually is $156 a year and $468 over three years; month to month at $16 it is $192 a year and $576 over three years. Higher plans cost more; check weebly.com/pricing.

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

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

How to score the test

Use the same rubric for every tool you try, Weebly 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.

Ownership, support and moving away

Weebly hosts your site. We could not confirm an export as a working site, so plan to copy your content and rebuild if you leave. Check Weebly's help centre for current export options.

Who should pick something else

If you want a modern design or the site written for you, other builders fit 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.

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.
