Carrd has a free Basic experience and a 7-day Pro trial with no credit card needed. Paid plans are Pro Lite ($9 / year, 3 sites), Pro Standard ($19 / year, 10 sites, custom domains, forms, analytics), and Pro Plus ($49 / year, 25 sites, HTML downloads).
Heya is our no-code builder for one-page and small sites. Heya Free costs $0 with no credit card and gives you up to 3 sites, up to 5 pages per site, and 68 templates. Heya Pro Lite costs $3 a month for up to 20 pages per site and no badge, and Heya Pro Standard costs $6 a month for up to 5 sites, up to 20 pages per site, no badge, and 1 custom domain per account.
Google Sites gives you a drag-and-drop grid layout and templates, with no programming required. It links with Google Docs, Sheets, and Presentations, handles sharing permissions like Google Docs, and lets you connect up to five custom domains per site after verifying ownership in Google Search Console.
Linktree's Free plan has unlimited basic links and email or phone sign-ups. Paid tiers are Starter at $7 per month billed annually ($9 billed monthly), Pro at $14 per month billed annually ($17 billed monthly), and Premium at $30 per month billed annually ($35 billed monthly).
Framer has a $0 Free plan for non-commercial use with a Framer domain, 1,000 pages, and 1 GB bandwidth. Paid plans with custom domains start at $10 per month with yearly billing for Basic and $30 per month for Pro, plus $20 per month for extra editors.
Carrd's Basic experience is free, and you can test Pro for 7 days without a payment or credit card. Moving to any Carrd Pro tier removes the Made with Carrd branding and gives you unlimited elements, 16MB image and GIF uploads, and 64MB video uploads. You also get premium and custom templates, favicons, social share images, QR codes, site transfers, and shared access.
Heya Free is $0 with no time limit or credit card for up to 3 sites and 5 pages per site at yourname.heya.bio with a small Made with Heya badge. On any Heya plan, including Free, you get 68 templates, a tab icon, a 1200x630 share image, and 20 MB image uploads (up to 200 files per site).
Carrd has three yearly plans: Pro Lite at $9 / year, Pro Standard at $19 / year, and Pro Plus at $49 / year. Pro Lite removes branding on up to 3 sites using .crd.co or punycode URLs, but it doesn't allow custom domains. So if you want your own domain or a contact form, you'll actually need Pro Standard at $19 / year.
Pro Standard gives you 10 sites, custom domains with Let's Encrypt SSL, forms for Mailchimp, Kit, ActiveCampaign, and EmailOctopus, widgets from Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad, Typeform, and Facebook, custom code, and analytics. Pro Plus ($49 / year) covers 25 sites and adds Zapier, Make, n8n, Airtable, and Stripe Checkout forms, plus unminified HTML, CSS, JS, and image downloads, passwords, redirects, variables, robots.txt, and canonical URLs.
The biggest surprise in Carrd's pricing is what is left out of Pro Lite at $9 / year. If you want a custom domain, a contact form, Google Analytics, or a Typeform or Stripe widget, you have to upgrade to Pro Standard for $19 / year. Downloading HTML, CSS, and JS files or setting up a custom robots.txt requires Pro Plus at $49 / year.
Other builders have their own gates. On Heya, Pro Lite is $3 a month to remove the badge and get up to 20 pages per site on up to 3 sites, Pro Standard is $6 a month for up to 5 sites, up to 20 pages per site, no badge, and 1 custom domain per account, and Pro Plus is $15 a month for up to 25 sites, up to 20 pages per site, no badge, and up to 10 custom domains per account. Linktree requires Pro at $14 per month billed annually ($17 billed monthly) to remove branding, and Framer requires Basic at $10 per month billed yearly for a custom domain, plus $20 per month per extra editor.
Every Heya plan including Heya Free ($0) includes 68 templates and full phone editing, while hosted Heya sites get their own sitemap.xml and robots.txt files. Heya Pro Lite costs $3 a month, higher than Carrd Pro Lite at $9 / year for up to 3 unbranded sites, and gives you up to 5 pages per site on Free or 20 on Pro Lite.
Heya Pro Standard costs $6 a month for up to 5 sites, up to 20 pages per site, no badge, and 1 custom domain per account. Instead, we offer 10 block types, including embeds for YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, Calendly, and Google Maps, and a socials block for 29 networks. For another custom domain setup, Google Sites connects up to five domains per site, and Linktree's Free plan gives you unlimited basic links with email and phone sign-ups.
