What our research says

Durable

Aimed squarely at trades and local services that have never had a website, and honest about it — the generated site is a competent one-page brochure, not a design. The reason to pay is the CRM, invoicing and booking bolted around it; judged purely as a page builder it loses to the free tiers of the general-purpose tools.

Pros

The free tier is a genuinely usable live site, not a time-limited preview
Custom domain registration is included in the paid tiers rather than billed separately
The 15% annual discount means month-to-month is not punitively priced, unlike most tools here
CRM, invoicing and scheduling in the same subscription remove two or three other bills

Cons

The free CRM stops at ten contacts, which any working business passes in a fortnight
Generated sites share a recognisable structure, so differentiation has to come from the copy
No API and no export path, so the site and the customer records live where they were made
Even Grow, the top self-serve tier, meters the assistant and image studio at 5,000 AI credits a month

Repaint

Repaint has grown from a site-rebuild tool into a chat-run back office for small service businesses: pages, payments, memberships, bookings and email in one workspace. Rebuilding from an existing URL still saves the retyping step most builders force on you. The free tier is gone, though, and a weekly AI allowance governs how much you can change, so it suits owners who will settle in rather than tinkerers.

Pros

Can rebuild from an existing live site, not just a blank prompt
Payments, memberships, courses, booking and email are built in rather than bolted on
Y Combinator-backed with a named founding team
Every plan includes custom domains, starting with three on Plus

Cons

No free tier any more, only a 14-day trial after which the workspace is paused
Weekly AI allowance caps how much editing you can do, and unused usage does not roll over
No public API or code export found
