Is Carrd Pro worth it?
Yes, if you want a real website. Pro Standard at $19 a year adds a custom domain, contact and signup forms, and payment widgets — the three things a landing page usually needs. The free plan is enough for a simple one-pager on a carrd.co address with Carrd branding.
What each Carrd tier includes.
Prices are per year, from Carrd's published plans. Every paid tier removes Carrd branding.
| Tier | Price per year | Sites | Custom domain | Forms and widgets | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 3 | No — carrd.co address | No | Trying Carrd and simple personal one-pagers |
| Pro Lite | $9 | 3 | No — premium .crd.co URLs | No | Removing Carrd branding on a small personal page |
| Pro Standard | $19 | 10 | Yes, with SSL | Forms, plus Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad, and Typeform widgets | Most people publishing a real landing page or waitlist |
| Pro Plus | $49 | 25 | Yes, with SSL | Advanced forms that connect to Zapier, Make, n8n, and Airtable | Power users running many sites, redirects, or automated forms |
When the free plan is enough.
Free Carrd covers up to three sites on carrd.co addresses. That works for a personal profile, a link-in-bio page, or testing an idea before you commit. You cannot collect emails with a native form, take payments, or use your own domain — and the Carrd badge stays on the page.
When Pro pays off.
- You bought a domain. Connecting it requires Pro Standard or higher — the steps are in the custom domain guide.
- You want signups. Native email and contact forms start at Pro Standard.
- You sell something. Stripe, PayPal, and Gumroad widgets embed checkout directly on the page.
- You run several projects. Pro Standard covers 10 sites for less than most builders charge per month for one — see how that compares in Carrd vs Squarespace.
Every template in the Templates of Carrd catalog works on the tier its widgets need; a plain landing layout runs fine on Pro Standard.
Upgrade in a few clicks.
- Sign in to Carrd and open your account menu.
- Choose the Pro tier that matches the table above.
- Pay for the year — Carrd bills annually, not monthly.
- Open your site's Publish settings to connect a domain or add forms.
