Carrd
Simple, free, fully responsive one-page sites for pretty much anything.
Carrd is a one-page website builder that predates the link-in-bio category and is often repurposed as one. It sells on simplicity, flat annual pricing, and the ability to run multiple tiny sites on a single plan.
Our take
Pros
- Annual pricing is wildly cheaper than most competitors
- One plan runs multiple sites, good for portfolios and side projects
- Pages are fast and lightweight
- No platform branding even at the cheapest paid tier
Cons
- Editor is less forgiving than visual builders like Beacons
- No built-in commerce, email list, or analytics dashboard
- Forms locked behind the top tier
- Free plan caps at 3 sites with branding

Pricing
Free plan publishes up to 3 sites on .carrd.co subdomains with Carrd branding. Pro Lite is $9/year, Pro Standard $19/year, Pro Plus $49/year. All tiers are billed annually, no monthly option. Pro Standard and above add custom domains. Forms, widgets, Google Analytics, and embeds unlock at Pro Plus.
Best for
Indie hackers, designers, and anyone comfortable with a slightly technical editor who wants a real one-page site for the price of a coffee per year.
Not for
Non-technical creators who want a template-first, drag-and-drop bio page. Carrd's editor has a learning curve.
