Our verdict
Carrd suits beginners who want a straightforward site or landing page and little else. Its Pro plan starts at $9 a year, the free plan is there to try first, and the Pro trial lasts 7 days, so a first site costs little.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A free plan is offered and the Pro trial runs 7 days, so the builder can be tried before paying
- Help comes by email, phone and help centre, which includes a phone line and a help centre next to email
- A template library of from 324 is aimed at beginners building a first site
Cons
- The builder type is site and landing, so a storefront is not what it is set up to do
- Support covers email, phone and help centre, and live chat is not one of the channels
Who it suits
- Beginners putting up a first site or landing page
- Solo owners who want a free plan and a 7 day trial before paying
- Readers who want phone and help centre support as well as email, since support runs on email, phone and help centre
Who should look elsewhere
- Ko-fi, if a starting fee of $12 suits your budget better than the $9 a year Pro plan
- Shafrik, if you are working to a much larger starting budget, with plans from XOF 9,900 rather than the Pro plan at $9
Plans and pricing
The Pro plan starts at $9 a year. A free plan is offered for anyone who wants to try the builder before paying, and the Pro trial lasts 7 days, so the run up to a paid plan is short. For context, renewal prices across the brands compared here sit at a €5.99 median, which is worth weighing against the $9 entry fee.
Who runs it
Carrd is run by Carrd Inc., registered in the United States, so a reader outside the US signs up with a US company rather than a local entity. Help comes by email, phone and help centre, which puts a phone line and a help centre alongside email for anyone who wants to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free plan?+
Yes. Carrd offers a free plan so a site can be built and seen before paying anything. The Pro trial adds 7 days of testing on the paid tier, which is the way to check whether the Pro plan is worth moving to.
What does the Pro plan cost?+
The Pro plan starts at $9 a year. That is the entry figure to plan around, and it sits under the €13.15 median for the brands compared here, so a first period stays light.
How long is the free trial?+
The Pro trial runs 7 days. It sits alongside the Pro plan, which starts at $9 a year, so the trial is the window for deciding whether that paid tier is right for a site or landing page.
What can I build with it?+
The builder type is site and landing, which means sites and landing pages. Templates are the starting material, and the library runs to from 324 of them, aimed at beginners rather than a large team.
How do I get help?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre. That covers email, phone and a help centre, so there is someone to call as well as written answers, and live chat is not one of the channels.
Who runs Carrd?+
Carrd is run by Carrd Inc., which is registered in the United States. That US entity is the one taking the plan, so a reader outside the US is contracting with a US company rather than a local office.
How does the entry price compare with Ko-fi?+
Ko-fi lists a starting price of $12, above the $9 a year Pro plan at Carrd. If the entry fee is the deciding factor, Carrd comes out ahead of the two, and the free plan narrows the gap further.
Who is this builder aimed at?+
Carrd is aimed at beginners, so a first site or landing page is the likely case. The 7 day Pro trial and the free plan make it a low commitment start, and a help centre plus phone support is there once the site is live.
