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 calendar, renting things out - or when how it looks to a stranger is part of winning the work.

What each one costs

Google Sites is free, and for an internal page or a simple notice board that is unbeatable. Webkio is 14.99 a month on Starter. You are not really comparing prices here, you are deciding whether you need a site that can take money, because Google Sites cannot and is not trying to.

What moving involves

There is nothing to migrate in any real sense. Copy the text across, point your domain at the new site, and you are done. If the Google Sites page was never on your own domain, there are no addresses to preserve either.

What would actually move, item by item

When to choose them instead

Google Sites is the right tool for internal pages inside Google Workspace: a team handbook, a project hub, a departmental index. It is free, it needs no setup and it sits where your documents already are. It is not built to win customers, and it does not pretend to be.

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 rent 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.
