The answer, as recorded

Here's how I'd rank them, depending on what you're actually trying to do: **1. Leadpages - the default pick for most small businesses.** Standard is $49/mo, Pro $99/mo, and as of 2026 they've dropped traffic caps on every plan, which matters when Unbounce and Instapage still meter you at 20k and 15k monthly visitors on entry tiers. Big template library, genuinely easy, and built-in payment processing so you can sell something off the page without bolting on another tool. ([Leadpages blog](https://leadpages.com/blog/best-landing-page-builders-2026), [StackScored pricing](https://www.stackscored.com/pricing/landing-page-builders/)) **2. Carrd - if you need one page and want to spend almost nothing.** $19/*year* for Pro. No CRM, no funnel, no A/B testing - it's a one-pager with a form. For a local service business, a waitlist, or a "book a call" page, that's the entire requirement and everything else on this list is overkill. **3. MailerLite - if the landing page exists to grow an email list.** Free tier includes 10 landing pages, and they wire straight into your MailerLite campaigns and automations. Hard to beat if email is the actual goal and the page is just the on-ramp. ([Perspective](https://www.perspective.co/article/best-landing-page-builder)) **4. Unbounce - if you're spending real money on ads.** $99/mo to start, and the reason to pay it is Smart Traffic, which auto-routes visitors to the variant likeliest to convert, plus serious A/B testing. Only worth it above roughly $2-3k/mo in ad spend, where a few points of conversion lift covers the subscription. ([ToolCheckr](https://www.toolcheckr.com/blog/best-landing-page-builders)) **5. Landingi - the cheaper middle ground.** $29/mo paid, free plan capped at 500 visits with their branding. More landing-page-specific than Wix, less expensive than Unbounce. Reasonable if Leadpages feels like too much. ([Perspective](https://www.perspective.co/article/best-landing-page-builder)) **6. Wix or Squarespace - if you also need a real website.** Wix premium starts at $17/mo. Landing pages are a feature, not the product, so conversion tooling is thin - but running one platform instead of two is a legitimate reason to accept that. ([Perspective](https://www.perspective.co/article/best-landing-page-builder)) **7. Framer - if design quality is the differentiator.** Steeper learning curve, but the output looks like you hired someone. Worth it for agencies, studios, and anyone selling on craft. **Skip Instapage** unless you're an agency. At $199/mo minimum it's priced for teams running many client accounts, and its strengths - AdMap, 1:1 ad-to-page personalization, collaboration workflow - are things a small business won't use. ([StackScored](https://www.stackscored.com/pricing/landing-page-builders/)) Short version: **Leadpages** if you want one answer, **Carrd** if it's truly just one page, **Unbounce** once ad spend justifies the optimization tooling.
