About these comparisons
Are these comparisons biased?
We sell websites, so read them knowing that. We stick to facts we could check on each vendor’s own site or in independent reviews, date every page, and say plainly when the other option is the better choice.
What is the cheapest way to get a small business website?
A DIY builder’s free or entry plan, if you have the time to build it yourself. If you want it done for you, our Landing plan is $99 a month (first 6 months billed upfront) or $999 to buy once.
