How we compiled this
Published self-serve pricing was collected for each provider on the accessed date; the providers' own pricing pages render prices client-side, so each plan's official pricing page is recorded as source while the exact USD figures were corroborated against a dedicated 2026 pricing-review source recorded as corroboration. All prices are flat per-account per month in USD, with both annual-billing monthly rate and month-to-month rate noted where published and annualDiscountPct recorded where derivable. Quote-only Enterprise tiers carry monthlyUsd null; minutes/calls/overage and HIPAA/BAA do not apply to website builders and are null.
Last verified 2026-06-15. We re-check published prices and compliance on a recurring cadence and update this page when they change.
