Free alternatives, honestly compared

One page per builder: what it costs there, what changes here, when to stay put. Every claim checkable.

WhatIMade is free. Not a trial, not a tier with ads on it: unlimited sites on yourname.whatimade.app, the AI included, no card. You make a site by sending one WhatsApp message, like “make me a site for my bakery”, and it is live in about a minute. You change it the same way, or let ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or DeepSeek edit it for you. Every version is backed up to your own Google Drive, so your files can never be held hostage. Want yourname.com? Our fee is free for your first year, then £7 a month billed yearly, and the domain itself is at cost, registered in your name.
