Heya
Heya is a no-code, block-based builder for one-page and small sites. You start building without an account and sign in with Google only when you publish. The $0 free plan needs no credit card and gives you up to 3 sites with up to 5 pages each on a name.heya.bio address, all 68 templates, 42 fonts, 32 social icons, and 6 embed types (YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, Calendly, and Maps).
Free sites have no custom domain, don't get followed links, and carry a small "Made with Heya" badge. There are no built-in forms, stats, or custom code, and sites top out at 20 pages. Pro Lite (from $3 a month) gives you 3 sites, up to 20 pages per site, followed links, and no badge. Pro Standard (from $6 a month) gives you up to 5 sites and 1 custom domain, while Pro Plus (from $15 a month) gives you up to 25 sites, up to 10 custom domains, and HTML (ZIP) downloads. It suits people who want a multi-page personal site without upfront signup.
Carrd
Carrd builds one-page sites on a name.carrd.co address and uses sections to simulate multiple pages. The free plan gives you up to 3 sites with a "Made with Carrd" badge, an unstated element limit, and a 7-day Pro trial with no credit card. Pro Lite ($9 a year) removes the badge, Pro Standard ($19 a year) adds custom domains and forms, and Pro Plus ($49 a year) lets you download unminified source code. It suits people who only need a single page and want a cheap custom domain.
Wix
Wix gives you a $0 plan with no credit card, 500 MB storage, and 1 GB bandwidth on a siteprefix.wixsite.com/siteaddress URL. The catch is the branding: Wix puts a banner ad right across the top of free sites and changes your favicon. Moving to the Light plan removes the branding, includes a 1-year free domain, and costs $17 a month billed yearly ($204 a year up front). It suits people who plan to upgrade to paid all-in-one hosting later.
Google Sites
Google Sites has no price listed and just needs a Google account. You can build personal or business sites at sites.google.com with subpages up to 5 levels deep, embed YouTube, calendars, maps, or HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and connect up to 5 custom domains. You do need a computer to edit your site, and buying new domains through it requires Google Workspace. It suits people with a Google account who want deep subpages and code embeds.
WordPress.com
WordPress.com has a $0 free plan that never expires and needs no credit card. You get 1 GB of storage, unlimited pages and posts, and 7-day stats on a yoursite.wordpress.com address. Free sites show WordPress.com ads and can't use plugins or custom domains. You can pay $2.75 a month for 3 years to remove ads, or get the Personal plan at $4 a month yearly for a custom domain. It suits bloggers who want unlimited pages and posts for free.
Canva Websites
Canva Free lets you publish up to 5 live sites on a .canva.site address. Every free site has a "Designed with Canva" footer, and there's no cheap tier just for web hosting. Removing that footer or connecting a domain you already own requires Canva Pro at $144 a year. It suits people who already pay for Canva Pro or don't mind the footer on a .canva.site link.
GitHub Pages
GitHub Pages is free for public repositories on GitHub Free. It hosts static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files straight from your repo at owner.github.io (or owner.github.io/repositoryname) with a 1 GB site limit, 100 GB monthly bandwidth, and 10 builds an hour, and lets you connect a custom domain for free. You have to bring your own code, and online business or e-commerce sites aren't allowed. It suits people who write their own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Notion Sites
Notion lets you publish pages to one notion.site domain on its Free plan with a "Built with Notion" watermark. Removing the watermark and using your own domain gets expensive: you have to pay for Notion Plus ($10 a month yearly, which is $120 a year, or $12 monthly) plus an $8 to $10 monthly add-on, coming to at least $216 a year in total. It suits people who already keep their bio or resume in Notion and don't mind the notion.site address.
about.me
about.me gives you a $0 one-page profile at about.me/yourname with about.me branding and an email signature link. Standard costs $5 a month yearly ($60 a year) and adds lead capture and scheduling. If you want to remove the branding, connect a custom domain, or add a portfolio, testimonials, video, and Google Analytics, you need the Pro plan at $7.50 a month yearly ($90 a year). It suits people who want a one-page profile with an email signature link.
