Compare your options honestly
There are five common ways for a small business to get a website: a do-it-yourself builder like Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy, a freelancer, an agency, or a service like ours. Each one is the right answer for someone. These pages compare them with sourced, dated prices and say plainly when you should pick the other option.

Side-by-side comparisons
We sell one of the options, so every comparison follows the same rules: our prices are labeled as ours, outside prices link to a dated source, and each page ends with who should choose the alternative.
- Sitelings vs WixA do-it-yourself builder with a monthly plan, or a done-for-you site with a one-time price. Who each one suits.
- Sitelings vs SquarespacePolished templates you assemble yourself, or a site written and built for you. Prices, fees and who each suits.
- Sitelings vs GoDaddyA low first-term builder plan bundled with domains and email, or a one-time, done-for-you site. What each costs and who it suits.
- Sitelings vs a freelancerA person you hire by the hour or the project, or an AI crew at a fixed price. Costs, timelines and the honest trade-offs.
- Sitelings vs an agencyStrategy, custom design and a team for months, or a standard site at a fixed price. When the agency is worth it.
How we keep these comparisons fair
A comparison written by one of the competitors deserves suspicion, so here are the rules these pages follow and that you can hold us to.
- Prices are list prices from the provider's own pages or a named publication, with the date we read them.
- We don't describe anyone's product as bad. We describe what it is built for and who it suits.
- We say what we don't do: no custom software, no online stores with large catalogs, and no claims about where you'll appear in Google, because that isn't ours to decide.
- Every page has a "who should pick the other one" section, and we mean it.
- Spot an error? Email [email protected] and we fix it and note the date.
