Best AI landing page builder
For a landing or waitlist page that saves emails from a prompt, start with Lovable. Bolt.new is the one if you want the code in the browser. v0 is the one if the page design is the job and you will add storage yourself. Carrd is not an AI builder. It is the pick when you want a one-page site, you do not want a codebase, and you will pay a small yearly fee for a custom domain and a signup form.
Honest pick for most people: Lovable. Same call as issue 0. Carrd is the non-coding pick if a prompt-built app is more tool than you want.
Prices checked October 15, 2026 on the official pages linked in the table. A limit that was not on an official page stays TBD. v0's badge rule is TBD. Carrd is here because a one-page site with a form is a different job from an app builder, and for some people it is the better fit.

Free tier, domains, and badges
- Lovable. Free publishes on a Lovable URL with the Edit with Lovable badge. Custom domain and removing that badge need Pro.
- Bolt.new. Free publishes with Bolt branding and no custom domain. Both change on Pro.
- v0 by Vercel. Free deploys to Vercel. The custom domain doc does not say you must pay for v0 first. A badge rule is TBD. A separate Vercel hosting charge is TBD.
- Carrd. Free is a Carrd URL with the Made with Carrd badge, and no signup form. Pro Lite ($9 a year) removes the badge only. Pro Standard ($19 a year) adds the custom domain and the form.
Who each tool is for
Lovable
A waitlist that saves emails to a database, built from a prompt, including on the free plan.
Bolt.new
The same page, if you want to see and edit the code in the browser.
v0 by Vercel
A polished layout you will deploy to Vercel, with storage as a step you add.
Carrd
A single page, no repo, and you are fine paying $19 a year so the form and the custom domain exist.
Honest downsides
- Lovable. Free is enough to publish a waitlist on a Lovable URL, then the 30 credit monthly cap stops the daily 5. A custom domain and a badge-free page need Pro at $25 a month.
- Bolt.new. The bigger the project, the more tokens each message burns. On Free you keep the Bolt badge and you do not get a custom domain.
- v0 by Vercel. 7 messages a day goes quick, and v0 is built for UI first. Saving emails means you plan the database yourself.
- Carrd. Free cannot collect emails. The $19 plan's signup form does not store the list in Carrd. It hands the address to another email tool.
Who it is not for
Lovable
Not for a custom domain or a badge-free page on the free plan. Both need Pro at $25 a month.
Bolt.new
Not for a badge-free custom domain on the free plan. Both need Pro at $25 a month.
v0 by Vercel
Not for you if the email database has to be included. v0 does not set that up for you. Also skip it if you need a documented badge rule. That rule is TBD.
Carrd
Not for you if you want the AI to write the page, or if you want the emails in your own database. Also the wrong pick if the form has to work on the free plan.
Questions
What is the best AI tool for a landing page on a free plan?
Lovable, if the page has to save emails. The free plan includes the database. You publish on a Lovable URL with the Edit with Lovable badge. Bolt.new and v0 can build the page on their free plans too, with the limits in the table. Carrd's free plan cannot collect emails.
Can I use a custom domain on the free plan?
Not on Lovable. Not on Bolt.new. Not on Carrd. Lovable and Bolt custom domains need Pro at $25 a month. Carrd custom domains need Pro Standard at $19 a year. v0's custom domain doc shows adding your own domain and does not name a required paid v0 plan. Any separate Vercel hosting charge is TBD. Checked October 15, 2026 on https://docs.lovable.dev/introduction/subscription-plans (opens in a new tab), https://bolt.new/pricing (opens in a new tab), https://carrd.co/docs/pro/plans (opens in a new tab), and https://v0.app/docs/custom-domains (opens in a new tab).
Which free plans show a badge?
Lovable Free keeps the Edit with Lovable badge. Removing it needs Pro. Bolt Free keeps Bolt branding. Removing it needs Pro. Carrd Free keeps Made with Carrd. Pro Lite at $9 a year removes that badge, and you still need Pro Standard at $19 a year for a signup form and a custom domain. v0's badge rule was not on the official pages checked, so it stays TBD.
When is Carrd the better pick?
When you do not want a codebase or an AI credit meter, and a one-page site is the whole job. Budget $19 a year for Pro Standard if you need the form and a custom domain. The form sends addresses to an email tool such as Mailchimp or Kit. It does not give you a database in Carrd.
Where do the numbers come from?
The official pages linked in the table, checked October 15, 2026. If a number is missing, it stays TBD.
