frascati costs $12 a month for Starter, from $29 for Pro and from $69 for Business, after a free 3-day trial with 20 credits. The WordPress software is free; WordPress.com has a free plan and paid plans from $4 a month billed yearly (checked 25 September 2026).

What replaces my plugins?
Every frascati plan includes a contact form, online booking, payments through your own Stripe account, an AI chat for visitors, visitor statistics and a webhook to Zapier, Make or n8n. There are no member areas and no stock levels, so some sites are better off staying with WordPress.
Can I use my own domain?
With frascati, your own domain comes with Pro and Business, from $29 a month. Starter publishes at a frascati address. WordPress.com connects a domain on paid plans and includes one free for the first year when billed yearly.
Can frascati import my WordPress site?
Not as files. Paste the address of your site into the chat: frascati reads the text of that page and uses your real services and details. For other pages, paste their addresses too, or copy their text into the chat. frascati designs a new site; it does not copy your theme.
