Tilda vs Vector Magic

Tilda is a website-building platform for landing pages, stores, blogs, courses, portfolios, event sites, presentations and other projects. Its library has more than 550 customizable blocks and over 210 templates, with responsive versions that adapt to different screen sizes. Tilda AI can build pages from prompts, generate copy and create custom interactive blocks. Store tools cover product cards, catalogs, variants, carts, filtering, sorting, promo codes and payments. The platform also includes CRM for lead management, built-in analytics, and integrations with services for email marketing, feedback, payments and other workflows. Hosting is included, and custom domains are supported. The free plan allows one website with key blocks. Personal costs $15 a month for one website, while Business costs $25 a month for five websites and source-code export. The API is limited to Business subscribers and 150 requests per hour. Tilda says website data remains stored for six months after non-renewal, then is permanently deleted if the subscription is not renewed.

Vector Magic converts bitmap images into vector graphics through a browser-based tool or desktop application. The online edition accepts JPG, PNG, BMP, and GIF files and exports SVG, EPS, and PDF. The desktop edition adds AI and DXF output and can convert images offline. The tracing process detects settings automatically and renders in full color, after which users can review results, adjust settings, and edit them. Desktop tools include advanced vectorization controls, batch processing, transparency support, and copy-paste or drag-and-drop workflows with graphics software such as Illustrator and CorelDRAW. Desktop image limits are 20 megapixels on Windows and 5 megapixels on Mac. Online users can upload, convert, and preview without commitment, but need a subscription to download results. The desktop trial allows previews but disables saving until activated with a purchased license. Online Edition costs $9.95 a month; Desktop Edition costs $295, paid once for one user on two computers, with the same license for PC and Mac.
