You build it yourself.
You select templates or create a custom design yourself from what’s available.

AI website builders
- Who does the work
- You do. You describe it, then edit and check what it makes. What it makes is a first draft you finish yourself.
- The design
- Generated from your description, in a few seconds or minutes.
- The price
- A subscription. The four plans we checked cost $24, $25, $45 and $59 a month, at regular prices, billed monthly.
- How long it takes
- Minutes. Some builders say a site can be online in under a minute. That is faster than we are.
- If it is late
- You are the builder, so the timing is yours.
- Set up for Google and AI search
- Depends on the builder. Some say they set your site up for Google and AI search automatically.
- Changing it later
- You change it yourself, any time. Some builders also let you ask their AI assistant to help.
- Can you take it with you?
- Depends on the builder. Some don’t let you export your site to host it somewhere else, or export only part of it. Others say the code is yours.
- Honestly the better choice when
- you want something online today and you like doing it yourself.
