LentloSites

Overview

LentloSites combines a website builder with selling, customer records, billing and WhatsApp tools, aimed especially at Indian businesses that want these functions together. It suits small operators and restaurants that need an online presence alongside day-to-day business tools; its appeal is breadth, though sales on the free and Starter plans carry a platform fee.

Ready-made designs, drag-and-drop and section editing, free subdomains, and custom domains with SSL cover the basics of getting a site online. Pages are described as SEO-ready static pages. Restaurants also get native menu management, reservations and ordering, with text-format menus. For more options in that category, see Restaurant Website Builders.

Key features

Commerce and business operations

Stores can use carts, checkout, six payment gateways, UPI QR, cash on delivery, GST invoices and courier shipping. The supported gateways are Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU, PhonePe, Easebuzz and Zoho Payments. Payments settle directly to the business's own gateway, UPI or bank account rather than passing through LentloSites, which keeps the platform out of the payment flow.

The free CRM includes customer records, a credit book, GST invoices, POS billing with barcode scanning, leads and follow-ups. That is a useful set of operational tools for a small business, not merely a storefront add-on. The WhatsApp hub adds a team inbox, template broadcasts, auto-replies and order updates, but requires the business's own Meta WhatsApp Business API account; Meta bills conversation charges directly.

Apps, data and support

Every plan includes a signed Android app and an installable web app. An iPhone App Store app is optional and done for the customer, making iOS presence a separate consideration rather than a standard plan inclusion. The maker says data is isolated at the database layer, backed up every 30 minutes to two independent clouds, and exportable by customers. It also claims global CDN hosting and page loads under one second; those are useful assurances, but remain the maker's claims.

Support is offered through WhatsApp, email and phone, Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM–7:00 PM IST. Lentlo identifies itself as an IT Act 2000 intermediary and states compliance with the IT Rules 2021 and DPDP Act 2023. LentloSites is operated by Lentlo, a sole proprietorship; Lentlo Web was founded in 2009 and LentloSites launched in 2024.

Pricing

The free plan costs ₹0 forever and includes all restaurant features, custom-domain connection, an Android app and an installable web app. Its trade-off is a 2.5% fee per website sale, so it is most compelling for businesses getting started or with low online sales, rather than those expecting meaningful transaction volume.

Starter costs ₹₹299 a month, billed monthly, and reduces the sale fee to 1.2% while retaining the same stated restaurant features, custom-domain connection and apps. Longer prepay periods receive discounts. It is a modest step up for businesses that want lower commission without committing to the Pro price, though its continuing per-sale fee still matters as sales grow.

Pro costs ₹₹999 a month, billed monthly, with 0% platform commission and the same stated core inclusions. Longer prepay periods receive discounts. For businesses making regular website sales, avoiding the platform commission is the clearest reason to choose it over Starter; whether the higher monthly cost pays off depends on sales volume. Growth costs ₹₹2,499 a month, billed monthly, also with 0% commission, and adds a dedicated account manager and priority support. It suits businesses that place value on higher-touch support, not those seeking additional listed core features. Longer prepay periods receive discounts.

Enterprise has custom pricing and includes custom integrations, white-glove onboarding and a priority SLA. It is the plan for organizations needing tailored setup or a formal service commitment. The plan descriptions give no seat counts or usage quotas to compare.

Platforms

LentloSites is available on Android, iOS and the web. Every plan explicitly includes an Android app and installable web app; the optional done-for-you iPhone App Store app is the iOS route described for customers.

Who it's for

The platform is aimed at Indian businesses including stores, restaurants, salons, clinics, dealers, news portals and travel businesses. It is strongest for operators who can use its website, commerce and customer-management tools together, particularly restaurants with native menus, reservations and ordering. A business wanting only a focused website builder, or unwilling to pay a commission while starting on a free tier, may prefer to compare alternatives.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Website building, commerce, CRM, billing and WhatsApp tools sit in one platform, which can consolidate routine business work.
• Pros: All plans include an Android app and installable web app, while custom domains are included even on Free.
• Pros: Direct settlement to the business's own payment account and customer data export offer control over payments and records.
• Cons: Free sales incur a 2.5% fee and Starter sales a 1.2% fee, which can become a material cost as transactions increase.
• Cons: WhatsApp features depend on the customer's own Meta API account, with conversation charges billed separately by Meta.
• Cons: An iPhone App Store app is optional rather than included with every plan.

Alternatives

For businesses whose priority is a dedicated photography portfolio, Lightfolio offers unlimited galleries, with 30 GB photo storage on Lite and 100 GB on Starter, plus 3 GB and 10 GB of video storage respectively. SlickPic is another photography-oriented option, with a Pro plan at $16.95 a month billed annually ($203.40/yr, with a 15% discount for the first year only) and 200GB storage with unlimited albums and collections. ShootCal Websites offers a free tier with 10 GB storage and Home and Contact pages, or Plus at $12 a month billed monthly with no annual contract and 150 GB storage.

Zarla may suit readers looking for an AI-oriented builder: its free plan includes 75 AI credits, 10 pages per site, preview-only sites and unlimited lead-capture forms. Pixieset Website is a reasonable alternative for a lightweight portfolio site, with a free plan including 15 pages, 100 photos, five blog posts, unlimited bandwidth, SSL and a mobile-optimized website. RebookMedia fits users seeking a public directory listing and lead inquiries at no charge, though its free Member plan has no media storage.

Plot is a medical-website-specific alternative; its Starter plan costs $19.99 a month billed monthly and includes one published site, five AI generations per month, 30 AI regenerations per month and 10 AI-generated images per month. EasySite may suit those prioritizing unlimited pages and storage: its Pro plan costs $19.95 a month billed monthly and includes one website with unlimited pages and storage.

Verdict

LentloSites is a strong fit for an Indian small business, especially a restaurant, that wants its website, ordering, customer records, billing and WhatsApp workflow in one place. Its free plan makes that package accessible and includes custom domains and apps, but the 2.5% sales fee is the key reason to look elsewhere or move to a paid plan as sales grow. Choose Pro when eliminating platform commission justifies ₹₹999 a month; choose another tool if a focused website or photography portfolio matters more than bundled business operations.
