Free vs Pro
Every feature, line by line.
The free page is a complete, published site — not a teaser. Pro is for when you want full design control and curation. Here's exactly where the line falls.
Planned 1.0 pricing
Custom domain Free & Pro alike
Map your page to a domain you own — yourname.com. A one-off purchase, not a Pro tick: it never expires and survives a Pro lapse.
† Disabled during the beta — coming at 1.0.
Both plans include
No trackers, no ads on your page — ever.
We never email you — we don't even collect your address.
Static HTML, strict CSP — no scripts run on your page.
