In their own words
Carrd
Carrd is a web service for creating responsive one-page sites, including personal profiles and email-capture landing pages. A free account can make up to three sites using core features, beginning with a template or blank page. Pro Lite also allows up to three sites but excludes custom domains, forms and widgets. Pro Standard raises the limit to ten sites and adds custom domains with SSL, forms, widgets, embeds and analytics. Pro Plus allows up to 25 sites and adds advanced forms and settings, source-file downloads and password protection; downloads exclude server-side code. Signup forms can connect to Mailchimp, Kit, ActiveCampaign and EmailOctopus, among others. Pro Plus custom forms can connect to Zapier, Make, n8n and Airtable, send data to URLs and use Stripe Checkout for payments. Carrd supports third-party widgets, custom code and external content embeds. Its seven-day Pro trial requires no payment or card details and includes a subset of Pro features. Basic is free; Pro Lite costs $9 a year, Pro Standard $19 a year and Pro Plus $49 a year.
Milkshake
Milkshake is a mobile app for building a website on a phone, including a link-in-bio page. Sites are assembled from swipeable Cards such as Splash, About, Links, Top Picks, YouTube, Contact, and Sell, and templates can be customized with colors, fonts, logos, and images. The free plan includes hosting, unlimited links and Cards, 30 days of Insights analytics, and selling digital files through Stripe. Payments go to the seller’s connected Stripe account. Milkshake also charges a per-sale fee, in addition to Stripe processing: 12% on Free and Lite, 9% on Pro, and 7% on Pro+. During the Sell Card beta, prices range from USD $1 to $100 or the equivalent in the seller’s currency, and file deliveries can be up to 100MB. Lite costs $2.99 per month and removes Milkshake branding. Pro is billed yearly at US$59.99/yr; Pro+ is US$99.99/yr and adds a custom domain and Google Analytics. The maker is based in Melbourne, Australia, and was founded in 2018.
