| Pricing | $9/year (Pro Lite, 3 sites) · free tier: Free $0: 3 sites per account with all core features and a "Made with Carrd" footer; excludes custom domains, forms, widgets/embeds, analytics and premium templates, and an element limit applies. Separate 7-day Pro trial with no payment or credit card required. | $79.00 per month (Create) — per the 'Pricing provided by Instapage' block on G2; not confirmed against the vendor pricing page · free tier: 14-day trial, cancellable self-serve from within the account during that window; after cancellation of a paid plan the account drops to a 'Free Builder' state where existing pages remain editable but are unpublished |
| Pricing model | Subscription | Subscription |
| Best for | Solo founders, creators and freelancers who need one high-quality page — email capture, link-in-bio, pre-launch or portfolio — live on their own domain within an hour for under $20 a year, and agencies managing many tiny client pages. | Paid-media and CRO teams with high landing page volume and genuine test velocity, who will use A/B testing, personalization and heatmaps and are comfortable in the $79–$159/month bracket. |
| Avoid if | You need A/B or multivariate testing, multi-step funnels or multi-page sites, team collaboration and permissions, a built-in CRM or native email marketing, monthly billing, or published enterprise compliance assurances. | You need pages to stay live without an ongoing subscription, want one-click in-app cancellation, run multilingual campaigns, or are a solo operator testing the water at low cost. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
