Tilda

Tilda is a hosted website builder for businesses, creators, and studios that need a site to do more than present information. Its blend of publishing, ecommerce, and lead-management tools is compelling, though the one-site Personal plan and Business-only code export set clear boundaries.

Overview

Tilda supports websites, stores, landing pages, blogs, courses, portfolios, event sites, presentations, and special projects. Its 550-plus customizable blocks and 210-plus templates give users a broad set of starting points, and AI can draft pages from prompts, write copy, or create interactive blocks. That makes it suited to projects that need both visual variety and business functions; a simple personal page may not benefit from the full toolkit.

Hosting is included, and sites can use a custom domain. The page limit is 1,000, while the number of websites depends on the plan. Websites are stored in the cloud, with DDoS protection; Tilda says transferred data and databases use TLS 1.3 and SSL certification with RSA 2048-bit keys. SSL for HTTPS can be enabled in the account.

Key features

Design and publishing

Blocks adapt to screen sizes through five versions for each block, and the platform includes blogging and SEO controls for headings, image alt tags, titles, descriptions, keywords, clean URLs, robots.txt, and sitemaps. This is a strong base for publishing and discoverability without needing a separate design system. The page ceiling is generous for many projects, but does not change the one-site allowance on Personal.

Stores, CRM, and integrations

Store features cover product cards and variants, catalogs, carts, filtering, sorting, promo codes, product statistics, order confirmations, and payments. Tilda lists PayPal, Verifone, and Stripe, as well as custom payment gateways. Its built-in CRM tracks lead stages and contact history, with analytics, email sending, and teamwork features. Forms can connect to tools including Google Sheets, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Zapier, and webhooks, alongside other services.

The combination is useful for a small business that wants its site, sales flow, and lead handling together. API access is limited to Business subscribers and allows 150 requests per hour, so developers with heavier integration needs should weigh that ceiling before committing.

AI and support

AI page generation and copy drafting can accelerate early content work, while custom interactive blocks offer another route beyond standard layouts. Support includes email and feedback-form help seven days a week, plus a Help Center and video tutorials; Tilda says replies usually arrive within an hour. Tutorials, webinars, guides, and courses add further self-service options.

Pricing

Tilda uses a freemium model, with a 14-day trial and paid plans from $10/mo (annual). The listed plan prices are Free, Personal at $15 a month, and Business at $25 a month. Monthly Personal and Business listings are also $15 a month and $25 a month, respectively.

• Free: One website with a collection of key blocks. It is a sensible way to build a small initial project, but does not include the full block access described for Personal.
• Personal: One website per account, full access to blocks, and a custom domain. It fits an individual or business with a single site; it does not provide Business's five-site allowance or source-code export.
• Business: Five websites, Personal features, and source-code export as a static HTML package with required files. It is the better fit for studios, developers, and organizations managing several sites, though API use remains capped at 150 requests per hour.

If a subscription is not renewed, the website is unpublished while its data remains stored for six months. Data is permanently deleted if renewal does not happen within that period.

Platforms

Tilda is available on web and through an API. The API is for Business subscribers only; the service also supports custom code and hosting as part of its website-building offering.

Who it's for

Tilda is a good match for companies managing multiple websites, designers and studios building client sites, and developers who want static code export. A solo user building one polished site can use Personal, while Free is a practical starting point for a basic single-site project. It is less suitable for anyone who needs API access on a lower plan or wants multiple sites without moving to Business.

Pros and cons

• Pro: A large block and template library gives varied projects a substantial design starting point.
• Pro: Store functions, CRM, and integrations can keep selling and lead handling close to the site.
• Pro: Business combines five sites with static code export for teams and developers.
• Con: Free and Personal are each limited to one website, so multi-site use requires Business.
• Con: API access is restricted to Business and capped at 150 requests per hour.
• Con: Non-renewal unpublishes the site, and data is deleted after six months without renewal.

• Weebly is an alternative with a free plan and a Personal plan that connects a custom domain.
• Nicepage offers web, Windows, and macOS versions, plus a free Starter plan for individuals.
• Webador has a free plan without a domain name and a Lite plan starting at $3 a month.
• uCoz may suit users prioritizing storage and domain allowances, with its Basic plan listing 2 GB of storage and five custom domains.
• SimDif is another freemium website builder, with five pages on its free Starter plan.
• Vistaprint Websites offers a free plan with one user and 500 MB storage.

Verdict

Choose Tilda if you want a visually flexible hosted site that can also handle stores and lead management, especially if you need Business's five-site allowance or static code export. Look elsewhere if a single simple site is your only goal, or if API access and multiple sites must fit a lower plan.
