Both cover website builders. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

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.
Divi, on a licence for unlimited sites
Elegant Themes sells Divi, a WordPress page builder whose licence covers unlimited sites rather than counting them, which is why it has stayed in agencies for a decade. The visual editor works on the front end, so layout changes are made on the page rather than in a preview. A large marketplace of child themes and layouts sits beside it. Divi generates its own markup, and moving a site off it later means rebuilding, which is the cost nobody prices in at the start.
Our note
Buy the $89 tier unless the marketplace credit in the bundle covers something you were already going to purchase, because the bundle's saving is measured against products you may not want. Factor the rebuild cost before adopting Divi for a client site they might later take elsewhere.
Only on this side
A website builder bundled with the hosting
Hostinger sells the builder and the hosting as one thing, so a domain, certificate, mailbox and site come from a single account instead of three suppliers. The AI builder generates a first draft from a description and the editor takes it from there. A free domain for the first year is included. The long contracts are how the headline price gets low, and the renewal rate is the number that matters once that term ends.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Our note
Price this on the renewal rate rather than the four-year term, because $10.99 a month is what it costs once the introductory period ends and that is the honest comparison against Squarespace or Wix. The long term is a real discount, but it is also four years of commitment to one supplier.
