LentloSites

Overview

LentloSites brings website building together with online selling and day-to-day business tools, making it a strong fit for Indian small businesses that want one platform for their site and operations. Its broad free tier is appealing, but businesses should weigh the per-sale fee on the lower plans against the monthly cost of removing it.

Ready-made designs, drag-and-drop and section editing, free subdomains, and custom domains with SSL cover the essentials of publishing a site. Restaurants get native menus, reservations and ordering, though menus are text-format only. For more category choices, see Restaurant Website Builders.

Key features

Commerce and business operations

The storefront supports carts and checkout, six payment gateways, UPI QR, cash on delivery, GST invoices and courier shipping. Supported gateways include Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU, PhonePe, Easebuzz and Zoho Payments. Customer payments go to the business's own gateway, UPI or bank account rather than being held by LentloSites, which keeps the platform out of the payment flow.

The free CRM combines customer records and a credit book with GST invoicing, POS billing with barcode scanning, lead tracking and follow-ups. That breadth can make LentloSites useful beyond the website itself, particularly for businesses that still manage customer and sales records manually.

WhatsApp and apps

The WhatsApp hub includes a shared team inbox, template broadcasts, auto-replies and order updates. It uses the customer's own Meta WhatsApp Business API account, and Meta conversation charges are billed directly by Meta, so those costs sit outside the plan price.

Every plan includes a signed Android app and an installable web app. An iPhone App Store app is available as an optional done-for-you service. That makes mobile access part of the package, but iPhone publication is not included in the stated plan benefits.

Performance, data and support

LentloSites says its websites use pre-rendered static pages on a global CDN and claims page loads under one second. It also says business data is isolated at the database layer, backed up every 30 minutes to two independent clouds and exportable by customers. These are reassuring operational commitments for a business relying on its site and records, though the speed figure is the company's claim.

Support is offered by WhatsApp, email and phone, Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM–7:00 PM IST. Lentlo identifies itself as an IT Act 2000 intermediary and states compliance with the IT Rules 2021 and DPDP Act 2023. It is operated by Lentlo, a sole proprietorship; Lentlo Web was founded in 2009 and LentloSites launched in 2024.

Pricing

LentloSites is freemium, with a free plan and paid plans billed monthly. The maker says longer prepay periods receive discounts, but does not give their rates. The listed plans all include restaurant features, custom-domain connection, a signed Android app and an installable web app.

• Free — ₹0 forever: Includes the core restaurant features and a 2.5% fee per website sale. It is a low-risk way to establish a site and try the business tools, but the sale fee can become material as online revenue grows.
• Starter — ₹299 a month, billed monthly: Reduces the website-sale fee to 1.2% while retaining the same stated core inclusions. It suits businesses with some online sales that want to lower the fee without taking on the Pro price.
• Pro — ₹999 a month, billed monthly: Removes platform commission. It is the sensible step up when the savings from eliminating the 1.2% Starter fee outweigh the additional monthly cost.
• Growth — ₹2,499 a month, billed monthly: Includes 0% platform commission, a dedicated account manager and priority support. The higher price is justified chiefly for businesses that value that added service, not just commission savings.
• Enterprise — custom pricing: Adds custom integrations, white-glove onboarding and a priority SLA, for businesses that need tailored setup and service commitments.

The free, Starter, Pro and Growth plans all include a custom-domain connection; the free plan is not limited to a platform subdomain. The listed plan benefits do not state user-seat or usage quotas. Meta conversation charges remain separate from plan fees.

Platforms

LentloSites supports Android, iOS and the web. Every plan includes an Android app and installable web app; the optional done-for-you iPhone App Store app is a separate offering.

Who it's for

This is best suited to Indian businesses—especially restaurants, stores, salons, clinics, dealers, news portals and travel businesses—that want a website alongside selling, customer records, billing and WhatsApp workflows. Restaurants benefit from built-in ordering, reservations and menu management. Businesses that only need a portfolio site, or that do not want a percentage charge on sales at lower tiers, may prefer a more focused builder.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Website, commerce, CRM, POS billing and WhatsApp functions sit in one platform, reducing the need to assemble separate tools.
• Pro: The free tier includes a custom-domain connection, Android app and installable web app, alongside restaurant features.
• Pro: Payments settle directly to the business's own gateway, UPI or bank account rather than being routed through LentloSites.
• Con: Free and Starter sales incur 2.5% and 1.2% platform fees respectively, so higher-volume sellers may need to move to Pro to avoid commission.
• Con: Meta conversation charges are additional, and an iPhone App Store app is optional rather than included in every plan.
• Con: Restaurant menus are text-format only, which may constrain businesses that want a different menu presentation.

Verdict

LentloSites is a strong choice for an Indian small business that wants its website, selling, CRM, billing and WhatsApp workflows in one place, with useful restaurant functions and a genuinely broad free tier. The main reason to look elsewhere is the cost structure: sales fees apply on Free and Starter, while Meta conversation charges are separate. Sellers with meaningful online volume should compare those charges with Pro's ₹999.00 INR monthly price before committing.
