What is the best free website builder?

frascati is our product, so first the plain answer: frascati is a paid product; every plan starts with a free 3-day trial with 20 credits. A card is required, and nothing is charged if you cancel before the trial ends. After that, Starter costs $12 a month.

Wix has a drag-and-drop editor and an app market. Its free version shows Wix branding and uses a Wix address.

WordPress is open source, with a huge plugin and theme ecosystem. WordPress.com hosts it for you and has a free version with a WordPress.com address and branding. Self-hosted WordPress is free software, but you pay for hosting.

Google Sites is Google's free tool for simple websites. You build with a Google account, and by default the site runs on a Google address.

Free versions usually come with the builder's address and branding, and what they include changes over time. Check each builder's website for its current limits.

Which is best depends on what you need. If a simple site is enough and you are happy to build it yourself, a free version is a good choice. If you want the pages and copy written for you from a description, try frascati for 3 days.
