Weebly (Personal) review 2027

What problem does Weebly solve for a small shop?

Weebly is the cheapest paid plan in this test that still lets you sell. The Personal plan runs $10 a month billed yearly and includes a free plan, and selling is switched on for every tier through Square. For a merchant already taking payments on Square hardware, that means one account covers the website and the counter.

The editor is drag-and-drop and a beginner learns it in minutes, so the site does not need a developer. Square POS integration carries in-person sales into the same system. The trade-off is visible in the score: Weebly finished eighth of eight tested builders at 7 out of 10, and the design score is where that shows.

How did we score Weebly across our five criteria?

Design & templates: 13 out of 25. This criterion covers template quality, how far the editor lets you change them, and how the finished site looked on a phone. Weebly ships 50+ templates and the editor is drag-and-drop, but the design options were the weakest in the test.

Ease of use: 19 out of 25. We timed the same person building the test site and counted how often the editor fought back. The build took 96 minutes, and the editor stayed out of the way.

Features & ecommerce: 12 out of 20. This covers blog, forms, bookings, shop, payments, transaction fees, apps and integrations. The blog is basic, the store runs on Square, and the transaction fee is Square processing only.

Performance & SEO: 11 out of 15. The finished site scored 80 on mobile PageSpeed, with SEO controls, structured data and custom code weighed alongside it.

Value: 15 out of 15. We looked at price over three years including a domain and any transaction fees, plus what the free tier permits. At $10 a month with a domain and a free plan, nothing in the test beat it on price.

What does Weebly do well?

Selling is available on every plan, including the free one, and payments run through Square. The editor is simple enough that a beginner learns it in minutes, which is why the ease-of-use score held up at 19 out of 25 despite the 96-minute build time.

The price is the other strength: $10 a month with a domain, and the value criterion took full points. Square POS integration means in-person sales land in the same place as online orders.

What do you actually get, and what does it cost?

The Personal plan is $10 a month billed yearly, and there is a free plan. The online store works on all plans via Square, and the only transaction fee is Square processing. You get 50+ templates, a drag-and-drop editor, a basic blog, and limited HTML export. The finished site scored 80 on mobile PageSpeed.

How does Weebly compare with the other builders we tested?

Squarespace scored 8.8 and starts at $23 a month on Core, with 180+ templates, the Fluid Engine editor, a strong blog, and 88 on mobile PageSpeed. It is ahead of Weebly on design and performance, and behind on price.

Wix scored 8.4 at $29 a month on Core, with a free plan, 900+ templates, a free-form editor, 0% transaction fees with Wix Payments, and 71 on mobile PageSpeed. It offers more freedom and more features; Weebly is cheaper and simpler.

Shopify scored 8.1 at $29 a month on Basic, with 200+ themes, a section-based editor, a basic blog, and 79 on mobile PageSpeed. It is built for shops first; Weebly is a simple site that can sell.

Where does Weebly fall short?

Templates and features have barely changed in years, and the design options were the weakest in the test — the 13 out of 25 on design is the lowest single criterion score in our breakdown. Square is also steering new users to Square Online, which matters if you want a platform that is still being developed.

Is Weebly worth $10 a month?

The price summary is $10 a month on the Personal plan billed yearly, with a free plan available. Value scored 15 out of 15, the only criterion where Weebly took full marks. If price is the deciding factor and you sell through Square, the maths is straightforward.

Who should buy Weebly?

Square merchants who want a simple site. If you already take payments on Square and need a small shop online without learning a design tool, Weebly covers it for $10 a month. If design quality or ongoing development matters more to you, the higher-scoring builders in this test are the better fit.
