Tilda

Tilda is a hosted website builder for businesses, creators, and studios making sites, stores, blogs, or landing pages. Its strongest fit is a project that needs design flexibility alongside ecommerce and lead management. A free single-site start is available, but multiple sites and code export make Business the practical choice for teams with broader needs.

Overview

Tilda supports a wide range of projects, from portfolios and online courses to event sites and presentations. Its library of more than 550 customizable blocks and 210+ templates offers a substantial starting point, while AI can draft pages from prompts, generate copy, and create interactive blocks. Hosting is included, and a site can use a custom domain. This breadth works best when publishing, lead capture, or sales matter; a simple personal page may not need the store and CRM tools.

Key features

Design, publishing, and SEO

Responsive layouts adapt automatically across screen sizes, with five versions for each block. Blogging and SEO controls include H1 headings, image alt tags, titles, descriptions, keywords, clean URLs, robots.txt, and sitemaps. The 1,000-page limit gives room for a substantial site, but the number of websites allowed depends on the plan: one on Personal and five on Business.

Stores and lead management

Store tools cover product cards and variants, catalogs, carts, filtering, sorting, promo codes, and product statistics. Buyers can pay by card, PayPal, or Stripe, and stores can send order confirmations. Tilda CRM adds lead stages, contact history, analytics, email sending, and teamwork features. These capabilities make Tilda a stronger fit for a small business that wants its site to capture and manage leads as well as sell products than for someone building a brochure site alone.

Integrations, security, and support

Forms can connect with services including Google Sheets, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Telegram, Zapier, and webhooks; custom scripts and payment gateways are also supported. The API is limited to 150 requests per hour and requires Business. Tilda says data is encrypted using TLS 1.3 and SSL, with Cloudflare DDoS protection; an HTTPS certificate can be enabled from the account. Support includes email and feedback-form assistance seven days a week, plus a Help Center and video tutorials.

Pricing

Tilda has a free plan and a 14-day trial. Free costs nothing and allows one website with a collection of key blocks. It is a sensible way to start a small project, but full block access and a custom domain require a paid plan.

Personal costs $15 a month and includes one website, full access to blocks, and a custom domain. It suits an individual site or brand, but not a studio managing multiple client sites. Business costs $25 a month and includes five websites, Personal features, and source-code export as a static HTML package. It is the fit for companies or studios managing several sites, and for developers who need export; its API access is also Business-only. The pricing note quotes paid plans from $10/mo (annual), while the listed Personal and Business prices are $15 and $25 per month respectively.

If a subscription is not renewed, the website is unpublished while its data remains stored for six months. Data is permanently deleted if the subscription is not renewed within that period, so renewal matters for both site availability and retention.

Platforms

Tilda is available on the web and through an API. Its hosted website approach suits people who want an online publishing platform; code export is available on Business for static HTML use.

Who it's for

Tilda is best suited to businesses, designers, and studios building sites that combine publishing, lead capture, or ecommerce. A solo creator with one website can begin on Free or use Personal for full block access and a custom domain. Teams managing several sites, or developers who need exported code or API access, should consider Business. It is less compelling for a single basic page if its additional business tools would go unused.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad creation toolkit: More than 550 blocks, 210+ templates, and AI-assisted page creation cover varied site types.
• Useful business features: Stores, payment options, forms, integrations, and built-in CRM support selling and lead management in one platform.
• Room to grow: Sites can contain up to 1,000 pages, and Business supports five websites and source-code export.

Cons

• Free is limited: It permits one website and only a collection of key blocks; a custom domain and full block access require Personal.
• Scaling raises the plan requirement: Personal is restricted to one website, while multiple sites and API access require Business.
• Non-renewal interrupts publishing: A site is unpublished after the subscription lapses, and its stored data is permanently deleted after six months without renewal.

Verdict

Choose Tilda if you want a hosted site builder that can also handle stores, lead management, and a broad range of publishing projects. Its design library and integrated business tools are the main reasons to pick it; look elsewhere if you only need a basic personal page, or if the single-site Free and Personal limits do not match your plans. Business is the clear fit for multiple sites, code export, or API access.
