Who each one is for
Carrd. Link-in-bio pages, personal profiles, event and launch pages, and validating an idea before committing to a real site. On cost per outcome at this size, nothing here is close.
Weebly. A simple business site, particularly one already using Square for payments or in-person sales. The integration is the strongest reason to choose it now.

What a year costs
Carrd
Carrd's pricing is refreshingly small, but the three Pro plans are not interchangeable. Pro Lite, at $9 a year, removes the branding and adds bigger images and premium templates, but it does not let you use your own domain. For almost everyone with a business, the right plan is Pro Standard at $19 a year: custom domains, contact and signup forms, embeds for things like Stripe or Gumroad, and analytics.
Plan price
Weebly
The Free plan and Personal both show Square ads on your site; Personal only adds the ability to connect your own domain. Professional, at $15 a month billed yearly, is where Weebly becomes presentable: no ads, a free domain, unlimited storage, advanced statistics, password protection and phone support, for just $2 a month more than Personal. For almost everyone, skipping straight to Professional is the right call.
Plan price
Who should skip each one
Carrd
Any site that needs multiple pages, a blog or a store. Using Carrd for those means fighting the product's single clear decision.
Weebly
Anyone who cares how current the site looks, or who needs a growing feature set. Wix and Squarespace are both clearly ahead on design and momentum.
The bottom line
Carrd
For a one-page site, Carrd is the best value on the web, and Pro Standard at $19 a year is the plan to buy. Use it for a personal homepage, a launch page or a link hub, and do not be embarrassed by how little it costs.
Weebly
Weebly makes sense for a small business already using Square that wants an online shop connected to its tills, on the Professional plan.
