Webkio vs Google Sites

When the free option is the right one, and when it is not.

  • Free plan - no time limit
  • No credit card required
  • Cancel anytime

These are not really competitors, and it is worth saying so plainly. Google Sites is built for team, project and event sites inside Google Workspace - collaborative, free with your subscription, and well suited to an intranet, a course page or a company handbook. It is not built to sell anything. If your site is information for people who already know you, Google Sites may be all you need.

The verdict

Choose Google Sites for an internal, team or event site where nobody needs to buy or book anything, especially if you already pay for Workspace. Choose Webkio when the site has a job to do commercially - taking payment, filling a diary, hiring things out - or when how it looks to a stranger is part of winning the work.

Frequently asked questions

You can run an informational one - who you are, what you do, how to get in touch. What you cannot do is sell, take bookings or hire things out, because those are not features it offers. For a lot of small businesses that is the deciding line.

If your site is internal, or a simple page for people who already found you another way, yes - genuinely. Pay for a platform when the site needs to earn something, not because a comparison page told you to.

There is a free tier on a Webkio subdomain, which is enough to build and publish and see whether it works for you. Selling, bookings and rentals sit on the paid plans.

Yes, on a paid plan you point your own domain at the site. Google Sites supports custom domains through Workspace too, so this is not the thing that decides it.
