How we compare to Squarespace, Wix and WordPress
The big builders give you a blank template and a support line. We give you a finished site and an editor that’s hard to get wrong, for a lot less.

| Monthly price | $7 (billed yearly) | $19–29 | about $17 | $25, or $25–35 hosting |
| Who builds the site | We convert your current site with AI | You, from a template | You, from a template | You or a developer |
| Updates and security | Handled for you | Handled for you | Handled for you | You update plugins and themes |
| Hard to break the design | Yes: you edit content, not layout | Mostly | No: free-form layout | No |
| Page speed | Very fast static pages | Good | Varies | Varies with plugins |
| Help when you’re stuck | Free support requests; quoted work by a person | Included support | Included support | Depends on your host |

Is it right for you?
Site Studio is a good fit if you…
- run a local business and want a site that looks professional
- mostly change words, photos, hours and specials
- would rather pay for the occasional change than for a support plan you rarely use
Another builder may suit you better if you…
- want to design every page yourself, pixel by pixel
- need a large online store with inventory today
- want a phone number to call whenever you need help
