Strawpage vs Carrd in 2026

Heya Free includes 3 sites with up to 5 pages per site, all 68 templates, and a free yourname.heya.bio address with HTTPS. It costs $0, doesn't require a credit card and has no time limit. There's a small Made with Heya badge.

Here's the comparison, including the paid features you might need later:

Don't treat "paid" as a single feature level. Carrd Pro Lite doesn't include custom domains or forms, and Heya's custom domain support starts on Pro Standard rather than Pro Lite.

Where Strawpage fits

Strawpage is a free site builder that works on your phone. Its last public pricing page, archived in January 2024, describes its free allowance as 2 sites with 5 pages each, then lists Premium at $49 a year with 25 sites, unlimited pages and custom domains.

That's the distinction to keep in mind if you're considering Strawpage for more than a single page. Its free allowance and Premium allowance are different, both in the number of sites and in the page limit.

Need more pages? That January 2024 page lists unlimited pages on Premium. For a free site, use the listed 5-page limit when comparing it with Heya's allowance, rather than carrying that Premium feature over to the free plan.

What Carrd's paid plans add

Carrd builds one-page sites, and Basic is free. Its paid plans split out custom domains, forms and downloads, so the plan you choose matters as much as the builder.

Pro Lite costs $9 a year and includes 3 sites. It doesn't include a custom domain, forms or widgets. If any of those are on your list, Pro Lite isn't the plan to pick.

Pro Standard costs $19 a year. It includes 10 sites, custom domains with SSL, forms, and widgets for Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad and Typeform. This is the Carrd tier to look at for a page that needs a form or one of those payment widgets, rather than just a page with links.

Pro Plus costs $49 a year and includes 25 sites. It adds site downloads as HTML, CSS and JavaScript, advanced forms, redirects and password protection. Downloading the site is a Pro Plus feature, not something included with every paid Carrd plan.

You can try Pro for 7 days without a card. But check the features you need during that trial: Carrd's terms say purchases are generally non-refundable.

What Heya includes

Heya is the no-code builder publishing this guide. You sign in with Google to publish, and the free plan includes all 68 templates (they aren't reserved for paid accounts).

Its page limits are separate from its site limits. Heya Free allows 3 sites with up to 5 pages each; Pro Lite costs $3 a month and keeps the 3-site allowance while raising the page limit to 20 pages per site. Pro Lite also removes the badge, and links are no longer marked nofollow.

Pro Standard costs $6 a month and includes 5 sites plus 1 custom domain per account with HTTPS. Heya doesn't sell domains. You bring one from any registrar.

Pro Plus costs $15 a month and includes 25 sites, up to 10 custom domains, and a download of your site as a ZIP of HTML files.

For building the page itself, Heya allows 40 sections per page, 60 blocks per section and 10 block types. Images can be up to 20 MB. Its 6 embed types are YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, Calendly and Google Maps.

The SEO settings include a title of up to 120 characters, a description of up to 300 characters, a favicon and a share image.

And Heya doesn't have a built-in store, checkout or form builder. You can link a button to your checkout or store page, link to a Google Form or a Tally form, and use the Calendly embed for bookings.
