US website builder prices
The lowest cost for a year here is $9, for Carrd Pro Lite. 33 plans from 11 website builders, with monthly and yearly prices as each seller’s own page shows them. Last verified October 19, 2026.
The lowest paid plan of each builder, for a year
What the lowest paid plan of each website builder costs for one year at its standard yearly price, lowest first. First-year discounts and offers are not counted.
How each figure was reached
For each builder, the lowest yearly price among its paid plans. Where a page shows a per-month price for yearly billing and no yearly total, the figure is 12 × that price. WordPress.com shows a lower first-year price ($4 a month for Personal, $48 for the year); its renewal price, $5 a month billed every 12 months ($60), is used here. Carrd prices each card for a default number of sites, and Ghost(Pro) for a default audience size; those defaults are used. Read October 18–19, 2026; each section gives its own date.

What is the cheapest paid website builder here?
Carrd Pro Lite is the lowest yearly price on this page, at $9 a year; among builders with a monthly plan, WordPress.com Personal is the lowest at $9 a month. The plans differ in features, sites, storage and transaction fees; this page compares prices only. Read October 18–19, 2026.
How this page works
- Each price is the US price shown on the seller’s own pricing page on the date it was read, in US dollars, as printed.
- "Monthly" is the price when billed every month. "Yearly" is the standard price when billed once a year; where a yearly card states a renewal price, that renewal price is used and the first-year price goes in Conditions.
- "—" means the seller’s page shows no price for that billing period, or that the price is waiting for a confirming read (named in the source notes).
- Nothing on this page is an estimate. The only worked-out figures are 12 × a per-month price where a page shows no yearly total, the lowest yearly price per builder and the differences in the yearly vs monthly table and Quick answers.
- This page has no affiliate links. Source links are plain links to each seller’s own page. The page compares prices only; it does not rate the builders or their features and makes no recommendation.
Coverage, known gaps and method
Coverage and known gaps
Included: paid website plans for one site or one account from eleven website builders, at each card’s default setting where a card has options (Framer AI credits, Carrd site counts, Ghost(Pro) audience size).
Not included: free plans; 2-, 3- and 5-year billing; enterprise, agency, workspace and platform plans; Shopify Plus (priced "from") and Ghost(Pro) Custom (no price shown); domains, email and other add-ons; payment processing fees except as quoted. Hosting companies that show only multi-year first-term prices (Hostinger, IONOS) and Jimdo, whose page states prices that include VAT, are left out for now. Deldur itself is hosted on WordPress.com; its rows follow the same rules as every other row.
How each page was read: every page was read in a web browser in the United States on October 18, 2026, and each billing switch or tab was opened with a real click. Plain-text versions were read as a cross-check; where they disagreed with the page as displayed (Wix, Shopify), the source notes say so. GoDaddy’s prices are not part of its page text and were read as displayed. Ghost(Pro), added on October 19, 2026, was read as plain text in two agreeing reads; its monthly prices wait for a read in a web browser.
Method
Each seller’s own pricing page is opened and read directly. The prices for each billing period, and every qualifier printed with them (trials, first-year prices, renewal prices, fees), are recorded with the page URL and the date. Third-party sites are never used as a source. A change is logged only when the seller’s own page changes. If a figure on this page is wrong, the correction goes in the change log below rather than being edited silently. The computed figures are taken from the recorded rows and recomputed whenever a row they use changes.
This dataset is compiled and maintained by Deldur with automated tools and editorial checks; how Deldur works explains the process.
