Which plan to pickTry Free for an afternoon to see whether you like watching the code get written. Pro is the plan for almost everyone else; the page only shows the yearly rate, so check the monthly price before you commit. Higher token tiers exist if you build daily.Basic is enough for most small business sites, and the free custom domain on a yearly plan makes it good value. Move to Pro when you pass 30 pages or want more than two CMS collections. Budget for extra editor seats at $20 a month if more than one person will design.Premium does the job for most small businesses. Only pay for 48 months if you are sure you will still want the site then; a shorter term costs more per month but avoids a big upfront bill. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee as long as you have used fewer than 30 credits.
