The answer, as recorded

# Best landing page builders for small businesses The right pick depends mostly on budget and whether you're running paid ads. Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order: **1. Leadpages - best default for most small businesses.** $49/mo entry plan, and critically, unlimited traffic, unlimited leads, and A/B testing come standard on every tier - features that require a $149-199/mo upgrade on Unbounce and Instapage. Big template library, built-in payment processing so you can sell directly without extra software. If you have no strong reason to pick something else, pick this. **2. Carrd - best value if you just need one simple page.** $19/year for up to 10 sites (free tier covers 3). Fast, mobile-responsive, genuinely easy. The catch is a hard one-page ceiling and limited design control - no real e-commerce, no pixel-level layout. But for a "here's my business, here's the form" page, nothing beats the price. **3. MailerLite - best if you also need email marketing.** Free tier covers 10 landing pages, unlimited popups, 1,000 subscribers, and 12,000 emails/month. Paid plans unlock unlimited pages. Since most landing pages exist to capture emails, having the page and the list in one tool removes an integration headache. Notably better than Brevo here, which locks landing pages behind its Professional plan. **4. Landingi - best template selection.** 400+ templates organized by industry (real estate, consulting, delivery, etc.), with AI-generated copy and images to populate them. $29/mo paid; free plan is capped at 500 visits/month and carries Landingi branding. **5. Unbounce - worth it once you're spending real money on ads.** $99/mo entry. Its Smart Traffic auto-optimization and AI copy generation are the differentiators, and they only pay off at meaningful traffic volume. Metered at 20k visitors on the entry plan. **6. Wix or Hostinger - if you need a whole website, not just a landing page.** Both include landing page templates inside a broader site builder with AI layout/copy generation. Reasonable when the landing page is one part of a larger site rather than a standalone campaign asset. **Skip Instapage** unless you're an agency or spending heavily on ads - it starts at $199/mo and its strengths (1:1 ad-to-page personalization, AdMap, heatmaps) are enterprise-scale features most small businesses won't use. Similarly, **Webflow and Framer** are excellent but are design tools first; you'll spend more time and likely need a designer. **My short answer:** Carrd if you need one page cheap, MailerLite if you need pages plus email, Leadpages if landing pages are core to how you get customers.
