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
Typedream
A site builder that edits like a document
Typedream builds a website the way a document is written, with slash commands and blocks rather than a canvas and a grid, which suits somebody who wants a site finished this afternoon. A free tier publishes on a subdomain. Paid plans add a custom domain, a free first-year .xyz registration and the CMS. The document metaphor is also the ceiling: a layout that needs precise control over where things sit is not what this is for.
