Why people look for Weebly alternatives
Weebly is part of the Square suite and uses Square for payments. Its $0 /mo Free plan includes SSL, a
Shopping Cart, Unlimited Items, and In-Store Pickup, but many core features require higher tiers. The
Personal plan at $13 /mo billed annually ($16 month-to-month) and the Professional plan at $15 /mo
billed annually ($20 month-to-month) let you connect a custom domain, while the Performance plan costs
$32 /mo billed annually ($36 month-to-month).
Weebly lists removing Square ads, unlimited storage, password protection, and a free domain for two of
its four plans. Digital Goods and shipping tools are listed for three plans, while PayPal, Abandoned
Cart Emails, and Item Reviews are only on one.
Alternatives for online stores and bookings
If you use Weebly for its Shopping Cart and Square payments, Square Online is the closest relative
since it puts online store features, bookings, and next day transfers in any Square plan. For an
all-in-one builder without plugins, Wix has eCommerce from its $29 per month Core plan (billed
yearly), plus appointments, courses, memberships, and event tickets.
Squarespace includes selling on all plans from the $19 per month Basic plan (2% transaction fee) and
drops store fees to zero on the $29 per month Core plan, alongside Acuity Scheduling. WordPress.com
runs stores via WooCommerce on its Commerce plan, with 0% payment transaction fees starting on
Business. On Heya, you can link a button to your checkout or store page and embed a Calendly
scheduling page.
Alternatives for simple sites, blogs, and low-cost domains
Weebly charges $13 /mo billed annually ($16 month-to-month) on Personal for a custom domain and only
removes Square ads on two plans. For a cheaper domain and no ads, WordPress.com starts at $4 per month
billed annually ($2.75 per month billed every 3 years) with a free domain for the first year,
newsletters, and RSS. Carrd removes branding for $9 / year on Pro Lite and adds custom domains with
SSL for $19 / year on Pro Standard.
Heya is $0 on Free (3 sites, 5 pages each) and $3 a month on Pro Lite for up to 20 pages per site and
no badge, with 68 templates on every plan. Heya Pro Standard costs $6 a month for up to 5 sites and 1
custom domain per account with automatic HTTPS, and you can link out to a blog or a Google Form.
