We read the plans page and the footer language switcher, and bought no plan.

We read the plans page and the language switcher on Weebly’s own site, on .
Weebly is an old hand in this market, and it still gives a permanent free tier and a narrow gap between paying yearly and paying monthly. Both serve a buyer who wants to start small.
Three absences on the same page hold it back: We read Weebly’s plans page in full and found nothing on what the price becomes after the first term There are no published support hours, and no refund window. The Arabic score is out of the calculation because we did not read it.
How this review was built
We bought no plan. Speed and uptime are out of the score for that reason.
The score rests on four criteria: price and billing, Arabic and right-to-left support, published features, and support availability. Arabic was not read in full this round, so it leaves the calculation and its weight is re-scaled onto the three that remain. That is what provisional means here.
There is no buyer-reports chapter here. We opened no reports this round.
Buying and price
8.8
Basis: the company’s own pages · weight 25%
The advertised price is {entry} a month billed yearly, rising a little if you pay monthly. That gap is among the narrowest on this page, so anyone who wants to try a month before committing to a year pays little for the privilege.
There is no commission on sales, and the free tier is permanent rather than a trial. Four things fall the buyer’s way here, and together they are why the price score is high.
What is missing is one thing, and it is enough: We read Weebly’s plans page in full and found nothing on what the price becomes after the first term A buyer knows what they pay this year and not what they pay the next.
No plan includes a free domain, so the domain is a second cost outside this figure.
| Value | Points |
|---|---|
| $13.00/mo billed yearly | 9.20 |
| A narrow premium for paying monthly | 5.38 |
| No commission on sales | 10.00 |
| A permanent free tier | 10.00 |
Arabic and right-to-left
Not yet checked
Basis: the company’s own pages · weight 20% leaves the score and is re-scaled onto the rest
This criterion is out of the score, and we do not write a zero where we read nothing.
We read one thing, and Weebly publishes it itself: Weebly’s own footer language switcher lists 24 locales, and Arabic is not one of them So the marketing site does not address an Arabic-speaking reader.
Three things we did not read: the editor’s interface language, whether the platform supports building right to left, and the language its support runs in. The footer switcher answers none of them, because the language of the sales pages is not the language of the editor.
Confusing those two is what put platforms on ready-for-Arabic lists without being ready for Arabic, and we will not repeat it here. Anyone building an Arabic site should open the editor on the free tier before paying, which costs nothing here and needs no card.
Published features
6.5
Basis: the company’s own pages · weight 35%
What you get: {feats} of the items we count, with a store, search tools, an app store and the option to add your own code.
What is missing: no analytics published on this plan, no AI builder, and no multilingual building. That last one bears on our reader in particular.
Does the free tier connect your own domain? No. It is for trying and learning, and anyone who wants to publish under their own name pays.

Support availability
2.0
Basis: the company’s own pages · weight 20%
The support score here is low, and its three reasons are either printed on the page or missing from it.
First, the contact channels are chat and tickets, which is two rather than one, and that counts in its favour. Second, the page publishes no working hours, so a buyer cannot tell when anyone answers. Third: We found no number of days for a refund on the plans page, so nothing entered the score on that side
Add to those the missing renewal price, which we count under trust rather than price: a page that writes down what it will ask for later earns points, and a page that stays quiet does not.
| Value | Points |
|---|---|
| no published support hours | 0.00 |
| Contact by chat, tickets | 6.67 |
| No refund window published | 0.00 |
| No renewal price on the page | 0.00 |
Speed and uptime: we did not measure them
We did not measure the speed or uptime of a site built here, and bought no plan.
We did not settle the editor’s interface language or its right-to-left support, did not open the separate transaction-fee page, and opened no buyer reports. What we did not check is written here.

If not this one, then what
Both picks are computed from the scores rather than written by hand: the first is the one directly above it in the ranking, the second the one that beats it by the widest margin on the criterion it loses on.

Bottom line
Anyone who wants to start without paying, then move to a plan that does not punish monthly billing, finds two open doors at Weebly. It is one of the few platforms here that offers both.
Anyone who wants to know what they pay after a year, or wants a guarantee of their money back, or is building in Arabic, will not find those answers on the page today.
Questions
What does Weebly cost after the first year?
The page does not say. We read the plans, their table and the footnotes and found no renewal price, and that lowers the trust score here.
Is Weebly available in Arabic?
Its own footer switcher does not include Arabic. The editor interface we did not settle, which is why this criterion is out of the score.
Can I get my money back?
We found no refund window published on the plans page. The permanent free tier makes the question less pressing if you try before you pay.
