Should I use an AI website builder or hire a web developer?
Short answer
Use an AI website builder for a clear business website you want to change yourself. Hire a developer for logins, member areas or custom features.
The longer answer
Cost: frascati costs from $12 a month after a free 3-day trial. A freelance developer or agency usually charges a project fee, often several thousand dollars, plus changes by the hour.
Time: with frascati, the first version takes about two minutes, and you refine it in the chat. A project with a developer runs through a briefing, drafts and rounds of feedback.
What a developer does better: web apps with user logins and databases, deeper connections to your other systems and custom features. frascati builds websites, not web apps, but payments through your own Stripe account, online booking and a webhook for Zapier, Make or n8n are built in.
What you need either way: your real content. frascati never invents facts about a business and leaves a [placeholder] where it lacks one; a developer will ask you for the same details.
You can combine both. Build the website with frascati, then download the full source code with Pro or Business, which a developer can host or extend anywhere.
