Which website builders actually let you build without an account?

Out of the seven builders here, only Heya (that's ours) and Carrd explicitly say you can start building without making an account first. For Wix, Squarespace, Google Sites, Canva, and Framer, the documentation doesn't mention any way to use their editors before signing up.

With Heya, you open the editor and start right away, even on your phone, using a blank page or one of 68 templates (12 designs and 56 templates for things like plumbers, photographers, restaurants, and weddings) while your browser saves your drafts. Carrd also lets you try the builder without an account and has a 7-day free trial of Pro with no credit card required.

What happens when you want to publish or download your site?

Even if you build without an account, going live has rules. To publish on Heya, you sign in with Google. After that, Heya Free ($0, no credit card) lets you publish up to 3 sites with up to 5 pages each at yourname.heya.bio, and Pro Plus ($15 a month) lets you download an HTML ZIP with an index.html per page, styles, fonts, and images.

On Carrd, downloading unminified HTML, CSS, JS, and images requires the Pro Plus plan at $49 / year. Wix and Framer don't allow HTML exports for external hosting at all, and Squarespace only exports certain content as a WordPress .xml file.

Free plans and low-cost upgrades compared

Our tool Heya, along with Wix, Canva, and Framer, gives you a $0 free plan (with no credit card required on Heya and Wix), Carrd offers a free Basic experience, and Squarespace has a 14-day free trial with no card needed. Heya Free, Heya Pro Lite, and Carrd Pro Lite all allow up to 3 sites. Heya Pro Lite costs $3 a month, while Carrd Pro Lite costs $9 / year. Heya Pro Lite drops the 'Made with Heya' badge and bumps you from 5 pages to 20 pages per site, while Carrd Pro Lite removes 'Made with Carrd' branding.

Neither Heya Pro Lite nor Carrd Pro Lite includes custom domains. For a custom domain, Heya Pro Standard costs $6 a month and includes up to 5 sites and 1 custom domain per account. You can also use Carrd Pro Standard at $19 / year, Framer Basic at $10 per month with yearly billing, Wix Light at $17 per month paid yearly, or Squarespace Basic at $19 per month.

When to choose a larger builder over Heya

We made Heya for one-page and small sites using 10 block types: heading, text, image, buttons, links, socials, embed, divider, spacer, and countdown. You can embed Calendly for bookings, add YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, and Google Maps, or link buttons to Google Forms, Tally forms, an online checkout, or an external blog.

If you want contact forms or native cookie-free analytics on a one-page site, look at Carrd's Pro Standard ($19 / year) or Pro Plus ($49 / year), while Pro Plus ($49 / year) also adds Stripe Checkout payments. For a full online store, built-in scheduling, blogging, or AI tools, Wix (paid plans from $17 per month) and Squarespace (from $19 per month) have all of those built in.
