Weebly is a drag-and-drop website and online store builder, published by Square, that sells a free plan and three paid plans. People look for a Weebly alternative when they want a builder that is still being developed, a site they can carry to another host, or a shop that does not depend on Square. They move to Squarespace or Wix for features, to WordPress.com for portability, and to Carrd or Jimdo for a smaller, cheaper site.
Sebastiaan SmitsFounderShort answer: Looking for a replacement for Weebly by Square? Carrd, Jimdo and Ghost come first in our website builder ranking. We open the ranking with smaller vendors and put the established brands from fourth place onward. Start with Carrd if your Weebly site is really a single landing page or link hub. Every one of the 11 products below comes from Best Website Builder in 2026, with a note on how it departs from Weebly by Square.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Weebly lists a drag-and-drop editor, responsive themes, forms, blogging and an App Center, and its pages carry a 2019 Square copyright line. The Weebly support centre we opened shows category entries last updated in 2018 and 2019. Weebly offers little visible evidence of recent work, and that is what pushes buyers to compare.
Weebly prices Personal at 11 euros a month billed annually, Professional at 17 and Performance at 30, or 14, 22 and 40 on monthly billing. Removing Square ads and connecting a domain are tied to paid plans. The low price is real, but it buys a smaller feature set than Squarespace or Wix list.
Weebly's feature and App Center pages do not mention exporting site content, only a domain transfer banner. Weebly's own pages therefore give no export route we could confirm. Plan to rebuild pages by hand in the new website builder, and copy text, images and product data out before cancelling.

Weebly stays a sensible choice when the business already takes payments with Square and wants a simple site and store in the same account. The paid plans list a shopping cart, unlimited items, inventory management, in-store pickup and Square gift cards from Personal upward. For a small shop that works today, a migration costs more time than the low monthly price saves.
Weebly's feature pages mention no export of site content, so assume a manual rebuild. Copy text, images, blog posts and product data first, and keep your domain registered. Domain transfer is the one move Weebly's pages clearly describe.
A shop built on Weebly uses Square payments and Square gift cards. Check whether the new builder connects to Square, or whether you accept payments through its own processor. Do a test order before switching the domain, and note that fees differ by plan.
Weebly lists a Free plan at 0 dollars, then Personal at 11 euros, Professional at 17 and Performance at 30 a month on annual billing. Monthly billing is 14, 22 and 40 euros. The page lists no trial.
Wix and Framer both list free plans, and WordPress.com has a free plan with a 1 GB allowance. Carrd offers a 7-day Pro trial, and Duda a 14-day trial. A free site generally keeps the vendor's branding or subdomain.
Squarespace lists a transaction fee of 2 percent on Basic and 0 on higher plans, plus shipping labels from Core. WordPress.com Commerce lists unlimited products and 0 percent fees on WooCommerce payments. Check the processing fee, which is separate.
Weebly's pages are live, and its plans and ecommerce features are listed with current euro prices. Its help centre categories show 2018 and 2019 update dates. We cannot say what the roadmap is, because Weebly publishes none that we saw.
Ghost(Pro) is a publishing platform with memberships and newsletters, with email sends unlimited on each plan. WordPress.com is the other candidate for a blog, with plugins from its Personal plan upward.
Carrd's Pro Standard is 19 dollars a year for 10 sites, though it is a one-page format. Hostinger lists 1.99 dollars a month on a 48-month term, then 10.99 on renewal.
