Heya
Heya is a no-code, block-based builder for one-page and small sites. You start in the editor without an account and sign in with Google when you publish, and you can edit on a phone. The $0 plan needs no credit card and gives you up to 3 sites with up to 5 pages each at a name.heya.bio address, all 68 templates (including band and DJ templates), 42 fonts, a release countdown block, 32 social and contact icons, and 6 embed types including Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube and Vimeo players.
Paid plans are Pro Lite from $3 a month (3 sites, up to 20 pages per site, no badge, followed links), Pro Standard from $6 a month (up to 5 sites, 20 pages per site, 1 custom domain), and Pro Plus from $15 a month (up to 25 sites, up to 10 custom domains, and downloading your site as an HTML ZIP).
The limits: free sites carry a small "Made with Heya" badge and have no custom domain, HTML download is only on Pro Plus, sites top out at 20 pages, and there's no Bandcamp player, store, visitor stats or built-in forms (you link out to Bandcamp, ticket pages or a Google or Tally form). It suits musicians and bands who want a free 1 to 5 page site with streaming players and links without signing up first.
Bandzoogle
Bandzoogle doesn't have a permanent free plan unless you're a registered music charity, just a 14-day trial with no card at a password-protected address capped at 5 audio files. Plans include a free .com, .net or .org domain and a mailing list form, starting at $6.37 a month billed annually for a one-page EPK or $9.16 a month billed annually ($11 monthly) for Lite, which caps you at 10 pages, 10 tracks, 100 photos and 100 subscribers. Standard ($14.16/mo yearly) adds zero-commission physical merch and Pro ($18.33/mo yearly) adds tickets. It suits bands ready to pay monthly for a built-in store.
Carrd
Carrd gives you up to 3 free one-page sites at name.carrd.co, plus a 7-day Pro trial with no card. Its Audio element embeds Audiomack, Bandcamp, Google Drive, Mixcloud and SoundCloud players. Every site is strictly one page, though sections can simulate multiple pages. Pro Lite is $9 a year to remove the "Made with Carrd" branding and add video uploads, while Pro Standard is $19 a year for up to 10 sites with custom domains, Mailchimp or Kit signup forms, and Stripe, PayPal or Gumroad widgets. It suits artists who want a single page and the lowest yearly price for a custom domain.
Bandcamp
A free Bandcamp artist account gives you a direct-to-fan store at example.bandcamp.com with pre-orders, listening parties, fan messaging, discount codes and merch management. There's no monthly fee on the free account, but Bandcamp takes 15% on digital sales (dropping to 10% after $5,000), 10% on physical merch, plus 4-6% payment processor fees. Pro is $10 a month for batch uploads, ad-free HD video, private streaming and Google Analytics, though custom domains are currently unavailable. It suits artists who want a free storefront to sell tracks and merch rather than a general page.
Wix
Wix has a $0 plan with no credit card required, over 2,000 templates, events tools for promoting shows and tracking RSVPs, and the Wix Music player for WAV, FLAC, M4A and MP3 tracks. Free sites use a siteprefix.wixsite.com/siteaddress URL and show a top banner ad and Wix favicon. Paid plans start at $17 a month billed yearly for Light (with a 1-year domain voucher), but accepting payments on your site requires the Core plan at $29 a month billed yearly. It suits musicians who want to upload lossless audio files and manage event RSVPs.
Linktree
Linktree's $0 plan gives you a linktr.ee/yourusername address, unlimited basic links, email and phone sign-ups, a Music Pre-save feature, and a Music link that lists streaming services with an embedded player. The catch is that Spotify only plays a 30-second preview, and removing the Linktree branding or connecting mailing list integrations takes the Pro plan at $14 a month billed annually ($17 monthly; Starter is $7/mo yearly). Pro also lets you sell digital products with 0% Linktree fees, though processing fees may apply. It suits artists who just want a quick release link hub for social bios.
Google Sites
Google Sites doesn't list a price and opens as soon as you sign in with a Google account, publishing to a sites.google.com address and letting you connect up to 5 custom domains. You can drop in YouTube videos, calendars, maps, and custom HTML, CSS or JavaScript code embeds. However, you need a computer to edit your site because phones and tablets can only view it, and new domains go through Google Workspace. It suits bands already using Google accounts who build at a desk and embed YouTube videos and a show calendar.
Squarespace
Squarespace has no permanent free plan, offering a 14-day free trial without a credit card. Paid plans start at $19 a month for Basic and $29 a month for Core, and both include a free custom domain, unlimited bandwidth, an online store, built-in email campaigns, and tools for memberships, invoicing and Acuity Scheduling. Watch out for the 2% online store transaction fee on the $19 a month Basic plan, which only drops when you step up to Core at $29 a month. It suits bands with a bigger budget who want a full store and fan memberships.
