Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Carrd
One-page sites that cost less than lunch
Carrd builds the single page most people actually need: a bio, a link list, a launch page, a form that collects email addresses. Three sites are free and Pro is priced by the year rather than the month, which is why it keeps winning link-in-bio arguments on price alone. A site that wants a blog or a shop outgrows it fast.
Our note
The cheapest way to stop handing out a social profile as though it were a home page. If Linktree's monthly bill is the one you keep meaning to cancel, this is the version you own.
Only on this side
- Covers landing pages & funnels
- Covers link in bio
Durable
A site generated from a sentence about the business
Durable generates a working site from a short description of the business, which is aimed squarely at a tradesperson or solo operator who needs a presence today and will not be maintaining one. An invoicing tool and a CRM sit beside the builder. The free tier publishes on a subdomain with monthly caps on generated images and AI chat. Anybody with a design in mind will be fighting a generator rather than using a builder.
