Oleh KemCarrd Pricing and Plans in August 2026: Basic, Pro Lite, Pro Standard and Pro Plus Costs
Carrd costs $9 a year on Pro Lite, $19 on Pro Standard and $49 on Pro Plus, with a free Basic tier for three sites, as of . Those are yearly totals, not monthly rates: the whole paid range costs less than a month of most builders, and no monthly billing exists.
The free tier is real and it holds three sites. What it does not hold is a custom domain, a form, or a page without Carrd's own badge on it, and those are the three reasons anyone pays.
Above the free tier the difference is how many sites you keep: three, ten, twenty-five. One feature moves with them, and it is the custom domain. Figures read off Carrd's own page in .
This page prices Carrd, the single-page site builder. It is not a card or payments product, and the plans below build web pages.
filled dot = rate the vendor publishes · hollow dot = quote only
The rate is the easy part. What ends the free tier is the domain: your own address starts at $19 a year.
One payment covers twelve months. Carrd sells no monthly billing on any tier.

Carrd cost for your projects: the yearly rate at your site count
What your line costs on the published rates
You entered the free tier. It holds three sites, carries Carrd's badge and connects no domain of your own.
Where the bill sits above the advertised rate
No correction needed. Carrd charges what its page says and does not move afterwards.
What is in your bill that the advertised rate does not price
Three, ten and twenty-five. Nothing else separates the paid tiers, which makes this the rare product where reading the feature list is a waste of time.
Carrd connects a domain you own and does not sell one. On a $19 plan the registrar's invoice is usually the larger of the two.
Where your rate sits against the category
The free tier sits outside that comparison. What it costs is the badge on your pages.
The configuration we would sign off
Nothing you listed needs a paid tier. Three branded pages are free and stay free.
Which Carrd plan: the $19 Pro Standard, unless the badge or 25 sites decide otherwise
| Your case | Plan | Why this one |
|---|---|---|
| Trying it, or publishing something disposablea link page, an event notice, a one-off announcement | Basic free | Three sites at no cost, on a Carrd subdomain with Carrd branding. No custom domain and no forms. It is a real free tier rather than a trial, and it does not expire. |
| One project that has to look like it belongs to youa personal site, a freelance page, a portfolio | Pro Standard $19/yr | The custom domain lives here, along with forms and the removal of Carrd's badge. Ten sites come with it, which is more than the buyer of this tier usually needs. |
| Cheapest way to drop the brandingthree small pages, no domain of your own, no forms | Pro Lite $9/yr | Three sites, same as free, and it still carries no custom domain. What $9 buys is the badge coming off and a handful of Pro features. If a domain is the point, this is the wrong tier. |
| Building for other peopleclient one-pagers, several brands, a small studio | Pro Plus $49/yr | Twenty-five sites on one account. At two dollars a site a year, the arithmetic stops being about features and becomes about how many pages you keep alive. |
Carrd cost by site count: one project to twenty-five
Plan cost only, at the published yearly rate. Domain registration is a separate bill from a registrar.

Price check history
Each read of the published rates is on the record with its date. Across 4 of them the three plans held.
We watched from spring 2026 onward and claim nothing about the years before that. four reads, no movement.
Where this rate sits in the category
22 website builders tools priced by one method. Entry rates run $4.50 to $97 a month, and the middle sits at $18.50.
Every calibration point was read the same way and on the same pass, August 2026.
Five charges that sit outside the advertised rate
Sorted by how much each one adds once the site is live.There is no monthly option
Every plan is billed annually. The smallest amount Carrd will take is $9 for a year, which is cheap in absolute terms and still a year's commitment on day one.
The custom domain starts at Pro Standard, not at the first paid tier
Pro Lite costs money and still runs on a Carrd subdomain. Buyers who pay $9 expecting their own address find the domain two tiers up at $19.
The domain itself is not included
Carrd connects a domain you own and does not sell one. Registering and renewing it is a separate bill from a registrar, and on a $19 a year plan it is usually the larger line on the pair.
Free means branded
The Basic tier carries Carrd's own badge on every page and offers no forms. For a personal link page that is fine. For anything a client sees it is the reason to upgrade.
Site count is the only limit that moves
Three, ten, twenty-five. Nothing else changes between the paid tiers, so paying more for a feature you cannot find is a common mistake here: there is no feature to find.

| Custom domain | Available from Pro Standard at $19 a year. You supply and pay for the domain itself. |
| Annual billing | The only option. Carrd sells no monthly plan on any tier. |

| Forms | Contact and signup forms, from Pro Standard up. Not part of the free tier. |
Carrd pricing against WordPress.com, Webnode and Shopify
Three products built for whole websites, measured against one built for a single page. Carrd wins every rate comparison here and loses every scope one.
| The job | Carrd | The rival | Our verdict on this job |
|---|---|---|---|
| A personal page on your own domainOne page, a form, no blog and no store | Pro Standard $19/mo= $19 a month for you$19 a year, domain connected | WordPress.com $10.5/site/mo= $10.50 a month for youpriced monthly, first year discounted | Carrd on rateCarrd costs a year what WordPress.com costs in a month or two. For one page that is the entire argument. |
| A small site with several pagesAbout, services, contact, each with its own address | Pro Standard $19/mo= $19 a month for yousites are single pages here | Webnode multi-page by default | WebnodeThis is the job Carrd does not do.

Moving to Carrd from WordPress.com, Webnode or Shopify: a year here costs less than their month
Coming to Carrd means bringing one page and leaving the rest behind. The rate makes that easy to try and the scope makes it hard to undo halfway.
WordPress.com
WordPress.com costs $10.50 a month against $19 for a whole year of Carrd Pro Standard.Everything past the front page has nowhere to land. Posts, categories and feeds do not have an equivalent here.
- Take the front page only. Posts, categories and feeds have no Carrd equivalent, so archive them where they are.
- Point the domain after the page is rebuilt, not before: Carrd connects it in minutes once the site exists.
- Downgrade WordPress.com to free instead of deleting, until the redirect has settled.
Webnode
Webnode is n/a a month against $19 a year on Carrd.A multi-page site becomes several separate Carrd sites, and each one counts against the tier.
- List every page of the Webnode site. Each one becomes its own Carrd site and counts against the tier.
- Rebuild the two pages that earn traffic first; most of the rest will not be missed.
- Check the tier arithmetic before moving: ten pages need Pro Standard, eleven need Pro Plus.
Shopify
Shopify runs $39 a month against $49 a year for Carrd Pro Plus.The store does not move. Carrd links out to a checkout instead of holding one.
- Leave the store on Shopify. Carrd links to a checkout; it does not hold one.
- Move the landing page and point campaign links at it: that is the page Carrd does better per dollar.
- Keep Shopify Starter at $5 if all you sell is a link, and let Carrd carry the front.
Carrd pricing verdict: $19 a year buys one page, and no monthly rate exists
Updated
4.6 of 5
Carrd is the cheapest thing in this category by an order of magnitude. The median entry rate across the twenty-two builders we price is $18.50 a month; Carrd's is $9 a year. Comparing the two numbers directly is misleading in Carrd's favour, and it is still true that a year here costs less than two weeks of the median rival.
What that buys is one page done well and nothing else. There is no store, no blog engine, no multi-page site in the sense the rest of this category means it. The right way to read the price is as the cost of not needing any of that. If the project ever does, the move is to another product rather than to another tier.
- You need more than one pageCarrd builds single pages, and the tiers count sites rather than pages.
- You want to sellthere is no store here, and the payment options are links out to somebody else's checkout.
- You expect monthly billingthe smallest commitment Carrd offers is a year.
- You need a blog with categories and feedsthat is a different product, at roughly twenty times the price.
