Carrd is the cheapest serious one-page builder, at $19 a year with custom domains. People outgrow it when they need more pages, AI help writing, a blog or a store. Here are five alternatives and what each costs.
For another cheap simple site, Strikingly (from $8/month billed yearly) or Mixo (free one-page plan with AI) are closest to Carrd. Framer suits designers who want motion. Neweb (neweb.ai) suits a business that needs a full multi-page site written by AI, with domain, Google Business setup and SEO, from $9/month billed yearly. Wix suits DIY builders who need apps. As of November 2026.

Carrd builds one-page sites and lists no AI, blog or CMS as of November 2026. Businesses outgrow it when they need service and location pages, content written for them, a blog, a store or local search visibility.
Not for a custom-domain site. Carrd Pro Standard is $19 a year for ten sites; Carrd's own free plan, Mixo's free one-page plan and Strikingly's free plan cost nothing but use subdomains.
Mixo and Neweb generate sites with AI, and Framer has an AI agent inside its design canvas. Strikingly offers an AI Site Builder. Carrd lists no AI features.
For a local business, a multi-page site with service and location pages plus a Google Business Profile usually beats a single page. Neweb sets up the profile and runs AI search optimization; Wix gives the most manual SEO controls.
Yes. Many businesses keep a Carrd page for link-in-bio or campaigns and point the main domain at a full site on Neweb, Wix or another builder. Carrd's $19 a year covers ten sites, so the cost of keeping it is small.
