Some key things to keep in mind:
- Advanced site stats – this gives you data about your website
- Site search
- Free SSL cert for your site
- Shopping cart – the ability to sell
- SEO Tools
- Offer coupons
- Square Ads will be displayed on your page
- Will be a sub-domain
- Payment processing – 2.9% + 30¢ (via Square)
It’s a great spot to learn.
Personal Plan
The Personal Plan for Weebly wipes out the Weebly ad and brings in a few additional features.
I find it perfect for a local business or a company selling a few items.
Here are a few:
- Free SSL Cert
- Square Ads will be displayed on your page
- Payment processing – 2.9% + 30¢ (via Square)
The key with this plan though is the Weebly branding is off of it.
Giving you a clean professional website with your domain name.
Professional Plan
Is starting to help you scale for a larger website with some more enhanced reasons.
Or, for your eCommerce needs.
Which,
Is just fine with me.
Let’s check them out
- Payment processing – 2.9% + 30¢ (via Square)
- Membership features
- Password protected pages
Overall this plan is a good plan as you grow or have an organization or group where membership is needed.
Also, phone support is a nice feature too.

All the top eCommerce and website builder options are in this package.

Weebly Cloud Pricing
First of all, if you’re searching for this you might already know what it is.
But:
Just in case, here is Weebly’s description
Weebly for Cloud is for resellers looking to provide customers a best-in-class website builder where they can create their own website, blog, and online store in minutes. As the reseller, you maintain full control over billing, support, and the customer relationship. The Weebly Cloud platform allows you to easily integrate Weebly into your existing internal application, CMS or third party web application. You can use our Cloud Admin to manage users and sites or you can use our RESTful API to programmatically integrate with existing systems. You can also use plug-ins that allow you to integrate Weebly with existing systems.
So, what does it cost?
- Weebly Lite – $0 platform fee and each website $15 monthly. These sites will have Weebly branding.
- Weebly Pro – $30 monthly but branded the way you want it to be. Each site will start at $8 monthly.
Weebly Transactions Fees
With this fee you will be looking right around 2.9% + 30 Cents per transaction.
Remember too, you will need the performance plan to accept Pay Pal payment.
What does The Weebly SSL Cost?
This is pretty cut and dry.
Weebly includes a free SSL for all plans.
What Are The Domain Costs
There are 4 key domain prices that you save as you pay more an advance:
- 1 year for $19.95
- 2 yrs $16.95 yr which Saves you 15% when paid in advance
- 5 yrs $14.96 yr which Saves you 25% when paid in advance
- 10 yrs $12.57 yr which Saves you 37% when paid in advance
One key thing to keep in mind is if you pay annually you get one year free to start out.
Also:
You can purchase your domain somewhere else too, and then point it at your Weebly site too.
Don’t worry, not as hard as you think.
Email Costs
So, Weebly offers G Suite to offer email.
However, there is a cost associated with this running right around $45 annually per user.
One workaround or other option is to purchase a domain name somewhere else and utilize their platform to access email.
Some Frequently Asked Questions

Weebly totally does. Keep in mind though it is quite limited and I don't recommend it for long term.
What is the Weebly connect plan?
The Connect plan simply allows you to connect an external domain to a free Weebly site.

I would have to say it really depends on what you are looking for. Consider testing both to make sure it fits your needs.

No, they will not own your content.
