# miow compared with other website builders

miow builds and hosts small-business websites: a model writes the pages from your description of the business, or moves the pages of the site you have now across, and you change them in a sentence from your phone.

## How does miow compare with other website builders?

Each page below sets miow beside one other builder on price, payments, domains and leaving, with that builder's figures taken from its own pricing page and help centre in October 2026. Each also says whether a site on that builder can be moved to miow.

- [Carrd alternative](/carrd-alternative): one-page sites, priced by the year
- [Durable alternative](/durable-alternative): an AI builder that bundles a CRM, bookings and invoices
- [Framer alternative](/framer-alternative): a design tool for sites built on a canvas
- [GoDaddy alternative](/godaddy-alternative): Airo AI Builder, which also writes a site from a description
- [Hostinger alternative](/hostinger-alternative): an AI builder paid upfront for up to 48 months
- [Jimdo alternative](/jimdo-alternative): a builder whose free plan has five pages
- [Shopify alternative](/shopify-alternative): online shops with stock, sold online and in person
- [Squarespace alternative](/squarespace-alternative): a template builder with no free plan
- [Strikingly alternative](/strikingly-alternative): a builder whose free plan sells one product
- [Webflow alternative](/webflow-alternative): a visual editor, with editors' seats on a separate plan
- [Weebly alternative](/weebly-alternative): Square's builder, with Square's ads on the free plan
- [Wix alternative](/wix-alternative): a drag-and-drop builder with a free plan
- [WordPress.com alternative](/wordpress-alternative): hosted WordPress, built from themes and plugins

## Which website builder suits a small business?

The one that does what the business needs and lets it leave with its pages. A shop with stock in sizes and colours suits Shopify; a site a designer lays out by hand suits Webflow or Framer; a site written from a description and changed in a sentence suits miow, or another AI builder such as Durable.

Whatever the choice, check what the builder's export takes with it before building: several export no site at all.

## What does miow leave out?

miow takes no bookings, sends no newsletters and sells no domains, and each product is one item at one price. A business that relies on those keeps them where they are and links to them from its miow site.
