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.
