Editorial summary

Decision guidance

Verified Oct 2026. Free plan (3 sites, Carrd branding). Pro Standard $19/year (10 sites, custom domain, forms, embeds, analytics); Pro Standard 25 $39/year (25 sites). Pro Plus $49/year (25 sites, advanced forms, password protection, redirects). Pro Lite $9/year has no custom domain. Prices are per year, not per month; more sites cost more on each tier.

Why this tool

A very low-cost way to get a professional web presence. Pro Standard is $19/year (not per month) and adds a custom domain and forms; Pro Lite is $9/year without a custom domain.

When not to use

One-page only. If you need a multi-page site, blog, or content hub, use a proper website builder like Squarespace or WordPress.
