Carrd does one thing: simple, responsive one-page sites. For a marketer who needs a waitlist page, an event signup or a link page for a social campaign, that is often enough, and the price is hard to argue with. Pro Lite costs $9 per year for 3 sites without Carrd branding, with premium templates, larger images and videos, and no element limit. The plan most campaign pages need is Pro Standard from $19 per year, which adds custom domains with SSL, forms, widgets, embeds, analytics and meta tags. Forms can send signups to about 20 email tools, including Mailchimp, Kit, MailerLite, HubSpot and Klaviyo, and payment-enabled forms and embeds work with Stripe, PayPal and Gumroad. What you give up is everything built for optimization: there is no A/B testing, no dynamic text replacement and no multi-page funnel. Treat Carrd as the fast, cheap option for single pages, and move to a dedicated builder once testing matters.
