How the calculator works
Each option's yearly cost is its monthly list price times twelve, using the yearly billing price where one is offered. The domain is a .com bought at a registrar that sells at cost: $11.17 a year from 1 November 2026, when the .com wholesale price rises. Builders that throw in a free domain for the first year save you about $11 in year one.

What it leaves out
- Extra people. Framer charges $20 a month per extra editor, and Webflow $39 for a full seat. The calculator assumes you work alone.
- Add-ons and overages, such as more Framer AI credits, extra bandwidth or more languages.
- Wix Studio. Wix shows different prices in different countries, and I couldn't confirm its US prices on Wix's own page, so it isn't in the calculator yet. See Framer vs Wix Studio for what I found.
- Prices outside the US. Some builders charge less, or more, in other countries.
Not sure which builder?
The one-minute builder quiz asks up to four questions about what you're building and recommends one.
Before you pay
Check the renewal price, not just the first year. Start on a free plan or trial and build your first page before you commit. And buy the domain yourself, so it isn't tied to one builder. My guide to choosing a domain name for your portfolio covers what to pick and where.
