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
  • Grow caps image generation at 500 a month despite being the top self-serve tier

WebZum

Aimed squarely at the tradesperson or shop owner who has no site at all, and it removes every decision from that process - research, copy, logo, images, chatbot, done in minutes. Flat monthly pricing with unlimited edits is friendlier than the credit meters most generators use. The trade-off is the usual one for this format: you are renting a site you cannot easily take with you, and the multilingual pages are machine-translated by the vendor's own admission.

Pros

  • Generates copy, logo, and business-specific imagery rather than stock placeholders
  • Produces a multi-page site, typically three to seven pages, not a single landing page
  • Includes a visitor-facing chatbot in the build
  • Flat monthly price with unlimited edits and a 30-day refund window

Cons

  • No free tier - you pay before seeing your finished site
  • Legal pages are openly machine-translated, with only the English version binding
  • No stated export or self-hosting path if you cancel
  • No API, no e-commerce, and no booking functionality described
