Every builder gives you tools. Curb does the work.

Squarespace, Wix, Webflow and the new AI builders are all good software. On every one of them, the changes after launch are yours to make. That is the difference, and here it is side by side.

The builders people ask us about most, one at a time: where each is the better pick, where Curb is, and how moving across works.

Where each kind of tool leaves off

Squarespace, Wix, WordPress.com

Site builders hand you the tools

Their plans run from a few dollars a month to about what Curb costs, and the work is yours. Every new page, price change and photo swap is an evening in an editor — or an invoice from someone you hired to do it. Curb moves your site across, keeps it ready for AI search, and makes the changes for you.

Webflow, Framer

Design tools need a designer

Beautiful results, in the hands of someone who knows the tool. Most sites built on them end up waiting on that one person for every change. Curb keeps the design and removes the queue.

Durable, Hostinger AI Builder, Lovable

AI builders stop at the first draft

They generate a site in seconds, then hand you the controls. Getting it right — and keeping it right — is still you, prompting, on credits. Curb's AI does the work after launch too, and you approve every change before it ships.

Your web designer, your agency

Agencies and freelancers do the work — slowly

Someone else makes the changes, which is the right idea. But it comes as quotes, retainers and two-week waits. Curb is the same idea at the speed of a chat message, for one published monthly price.

When something else is the better pick

Curb is not for everyone. If one of these is you, we would rather say so now.

You are building an online store

Catalogue, cart and checkout are the product. Use Shopify, Squarespace or Wix commerce — we do not build stores yet.

You enjoy designing it yourself

If the editor is the fun part, Webflow and Framer are excellent tools. Curb is for people who want the site, not the tool.

You are building a web app

Logins, dashboards and user accounts are an app. Lovable is built for that; Curb builds the marketing site in front of it.

You need the lowest possible monthly price

A builder at a few dollars a month is cheaper than Curb — as long as your own time is free.

Questions

How does Curb's price compare with Squarespace or Wix?

It is in the same range. Squarespace's Basic plan is $25 a month and Wix's Light plan starts at $17 a month yearly; Curb is $29. The difference is what the price buys. A builder's plan pays for the software, and the changes are still yours to make, or a designer's to bill. Curb's includes $20 of its AI's edits a month, usually live within the hour, then unlimited edits with your own AI.

Can I move my Squarespace, Wix, Webflow or WordPress site to Curb?

Yes. The migrate track rebuilds your current site as it is — same design, same pages, same URLs with redirects — on Curb's stack. It costs a one-time fee on top of the plan, refunded if you are not happy with the move.

Don't other builders have AI now?

Most do, and some do it well — Wix ships llms.txt and an MCP server on every site. The difference is what happens after launch: on every builder in this table, the AI helps you do the work. On Curb, the work is done for you.
