Landingsite.ai Review: AI Website Builder, Free Plan & My Test Results

Landingsite.ai builds a whole website from two answers. You type your business name and a short description, and its AI writes the pages, chooses the design, makes a logo and shows you a preview.

I tested the free plan. It needs no card and allows three websites, each with 10 chat messages. It cannot publish a site, so everything I tested ran on the preview address.

After the first draft you change the site by chatting to the AI. A small editor in the preview changes wording directly. Landingsite is run by Landingsite, LLC.

Every number here comes from my own tests. Landingsite never saw the review first, and every website builder gets the same three briefs. I typed each brief into the two boxes and ran my tools on the preview address, because the free plan cannot publish.

Landingsite is free to try, then $10 or $20 a month, billed yearly, for each website. Prices read on 28 October 2026.

Each plan covers one website only. Basic is a one-page site, and my briefs have five or six pages, so I would need Pro at 240 dollars a year. A Pro shop pays a 1% fee on top of Stripe's.

Landingsite asks two questions: a business name and a description. I pasted each brief into the description box. Nothing else was asked, apart from an optional question, 'where did you hear about us?', while the site builds.

The first look arrives in about 20 seconds, and then the AI keeps working. All the pages were ready in about 4 minutes for the photographer, 10 for the shop and 27 for the cafe. The cafe was slow because the AI spent about ten minutes chasing 'blank photo boxes' that were not blank: the photos load as you scroll, and its own screenshots had been taken too early.

A site starts as a home page. One more message, asking it to build the other pages, gave me every page in my briefs and cost one or two of the 10 free chats.

All 60 facts were on the pages, with the right prices, hours, addresses and phone numbers. The AI also added 15 claims I never gave, such as 'Most booked' on a wedding package, 'Dates book out months ahead' and 'Each piece is wrapped by hand in the studio'. There were no invented reviews or awards, and every photo is a stock photo.

I could not give the AI my own logo or photos, because the form has no place for them. I did not run the one-line brief, because the free plan stops at three websites.

The drafts look polished but sloppy. A designer could have made them, with big type, warm colours and a logo, and my checker still counted 31 faults on 16 pages.

The faults repeat on every page: footer links under 24 pixels and pale labels that fail the contrast rule. The photographer's menu also runs 13 pixels past the screen at tablet width, so each of its pages scrolls sideways there. The shop's three product photos are the words 'Studio photo coming soon'.

My accessibility scan found no critical problem, but nine pages have serious contrast problems. Every image has alt text. The Spanish pages keep the page language set to English.

The three sites do not look like one template. Only the hero layout matches. You cannot switch template either, because there is no template picker.

Chat does everything. You type what you want, the AI changes the code and the preview updates. There is no drag-and-drop editor, but a small text editor in the preview changes wording for free.

On the cafe, 10 of my 12 edits worked. I moved a section, changed the font and colours everywhere, added a page with a menu link, added a form field, changed a button link, duplicated a section, embedded HTML, rewrote a section and edited the footer. A phone-only change and a replaced hero image worked on my other two sites.

Each message took one to six minutes and cost one or two of the 10 free chats. After 11 messages the cafe stopped.

Four of five written instructions worked first time. The gallery and slider worked, and the YouTube video I asked for did not appear. You cannot place things freely, and you cannot start from a blank page.

Pages are fast enough on phones. Google's speed test gave a median of 89 out of 100 across 18 phone runs, and 99 on desktop.

The shop page was slowest. Its main picture took 7.1 seconds to show on a phone, because the page loads a lot of photos.

Photos use the modern AVIF format and nothing blocks the first paint. The heaviest single file is a 640 KB font. I measured the free preview address and not a published site, so a live site may differ.

Half the basics were there on the preview. You get editable titles and descriptions, one H1 on every page, alt text, clean page addresses and a Redirects screen.

Two things I could not see before publishing are the sitemap and robots.txt, and a per-page noindex came only when I asked the chat. The AI's own titles were right for two of three pages. Its descriptions often ran past 155 characters.

The Spanish version adds hreflang tags for both languages. The builder has no SEO checklist of its own.

Most business features are paid. The free plan blocked a custom domain, a shop that takes payments, a mailbox and the monthly report. The Domain screen says 'Domains are available on paid plans.'

The shop panel says 'Your store can't take payments yet.' Selling needs Pro, at $20 a month billed yearly. The AI also told me that discount codes need your own Stripe account and that it cannot send abandoned-cart emails.

What worked: a contact form with spam protection and a submissions list, a blog with a category and tags, a full Spanish version with a language switcher, and a logo made for each site. The logo cannot be downloaded without a paid plan or a $5 purchase.

A members-only page is a soft gate. The password sits in the page, so anyone who reads the code can see it. The blog's RSS address returns a web page and not a feed.

No export found. The free plan has no way to download the site's code, pages or images, and the Ownership screen in each site's settings is blank.

The terms say fees are non-refundable except as the agreement allows, content may be deleted without notice and Landingsite does not have to keep a backup. The pricing page promises a 30-day money-back guarantee. The help page says a cancelled site stays up until the period ends.

I could not test cancelling. Manage Billing opens a Stripe page that says 'No payment method' and has no cancel button.

Restoring worked, in about ten seconds. Every AI message and text edit is saved as a version, with Preview and Rollback buttons.

After my rollback the version's own preview showed the old page. The main preview address still showed the newer page 50 minutes later.

The preview sends none of the six security headers I check and does not redirect http to https. Its certificate is valid. Your account has a password and a device list, and no two-factor sign-in.

A clean visit set no cookies before consent. The AI wrote a cookie banner that shows only where the law needs one, and a privacy page.

No reply yet. I emailed seven questions on 28 October 2026 and had no answer when I wrote this. Landingsite says it usually replies within 24 hours.

The help centre is one FAQ page. It answered four of my five searches and had nothing on exporting a site.

The AI chat is the first line of support. When I asked for things it cannot do, such as a discount code without Stripe, it said so.

Trustpilot says 4.4 from 25 reviews, read on 28 October 2026. 80% give five stars and 16% give one star. The profile is for the company, Landingsite.

Praise is for speed and ease: 'Pretty easy to use for the novice who needs a professional looking website in a hurry for great price' (2 September 2026). The four one-star reviews are about billing and about edits that break the page: 'when it comes to fixing errors and changing things so that they do what I want, the page completely breaks down' (25 May 2026).

I found no Landingsite page on G2, and Capterra blocked my visit, so neither is counted. I read the ten most recent Trustpilot reviews and all four one-star reviews.
