Relume Review: AI Website Builder, Free Plan & My Test Results

Relume is an AI website builder that turns one written brief into a sitemap, wireframes, a style guide and a designed site. An AI agent in a chat panel does the work, and then you can publish the site to Relume's own hosting.

It also exports to Figma, Webflow and React, which you pay for. I tested the free plan. Free publishes a site to a relumesite.ai address with a Relume badge and gives enough AI usage for about one small site a month.

Every number here comes from my own tests. Relume never saw the review first, and every website builder gets the same briefs. I pasted the cafe brief into Relume, published the site on its free address and ran my tools on it.

You can publish free, then Launch hosting is $12 a month billed yearly, or $16 billed monthly. Prices read on 29 October 2026.

The page does not show you a renewal price. Its Pro button says 'Start a 7-day free trial', but an old question says there is no 7-day trial for Pro. I graded 144 dollars a year for Launch hosting.

Relume built the first page in 3 min 26 s and the whole five-page site in about 22 minutes. You paste your brief into one box. I pasted the cafe brief, and the agent wrote the brief, the sitemap, the wireframe and the design of the Home page on its own.

The other four pages were created empty. I asked for the Menu, the Catering, and the About and Contact pages, and each took one to two minutes. Then I pressed Publish, and the site was live at a free address that you can share at once.

All 19 facts were right and nothing was made up. The Catering page says a price depends on your numbers, instead of inventing one. The photographs are AI-made, and the agent said so.

Relume's cafe site looks polished on phones and desktops, so you would not guess an AI made it. My checker still counted 7 faults on 5 pages.

The faults are small tap targets on two pages and overlapping text on all five, mostly the corner badge. The menu bar still shows a grey 'Logo' instead of the cafe name, although Relume's own health check says no placeholder is left. Nothing scrolled sideways.

For accessibility, axe-core found one critical problem on every page at phone width and a serious link problem on every page. If you use a keyboard, you can reach 11 to 17 items per page.

Relume made a site-wide change in one click. The Style Guide holds two themes, and clicking the second changed fonts and colours on every page at once, so you can try a new look in seconds.

I could not finish the twelve edits. After the About and Contact pages, the chat said 'You've reached your AI usage' and the top bar said 'You've reached this month's AI limit', with a reset in 4 days. I did not try the editor by hand, so only 2 of 12 edits were done and editing is not graded.

Relume's pages are fast enough on phones. Google's speed test gave a median of 79 out of 100 across 9 phone runs, and 97 on desktop.

The main picture took 4.2 to 4.6 seconds to show on a phone, and the Home page weighs 1.3 MB. Pages never jumped or froze while you read them. Relume's own panel showed a 96 for speed, a different number from my test.

I'm watching my Relume test site for 30 days, from 29 October to 28 November 2026.

My own monitor opens the site every five minutes and records whether it answered and how fast. Relume hosts the site, so a Relume outage would show here.

Is it really Relume serving this site?

Yes. The address belongs to Relume's own hosting domain, every answer carries Relume's headers, and every page shows a 'Built in Relume' badge. RankDude itself runs elsewhere (Vercel).

Relume gets most basics onto each page. Every page has its own title and description, one H1, a canonical tag and Open Graph tags, and you can edit them.

There is an Indexing switch in Discoverability, and you can turn it off. With it off, every page says noindex and robots.txt blocks all crawlers, including AI ones. SEO is not graded, because my own switch changed the files.

Relume's form failed for me. I pressed 'Send message' and it answered 'Something went wrong while sending your message. Please try again.'

A Cloudflare 'Verify you are human' box showed, and I did not tick it, because a test may not pass a human check. A custom domain and no badge are Launch hosting only, so you pay for them. I did not try selling, bookings or a blog, so this section is not graded.

Relume paid exports. In the Export product, pressing HTML opened 'Upgrade required: Export your project', and the free project showed only its Home page, with the others blurred as 'Upgrade to view pages'.

For the Publish site, I found no download of the code or pages. Settings has 'Unpublish Site' to take the site down, and a panel says an AI tool can rebuild the project in Webflow. Ownership is not graded.

Relume's live site sends five headers of the six I check and forces https, so you get a padlock. It lacks Permissions-Policy. The certificate is valid until 29 November 2026.

I could not test backups or restoring an earlier version, and I did not look for two-factor sign-in. Settings has a 'Show cookie banner' switch (Reject, Manage, Accept) that gates analytics, and my published site showed no banner.

My accessibility results are in the design section. The site health panel and Lighthouse said 93 for accessibility, and my axe-core run found a critical problem on phones.

Relume's support page has no email address. It offers you a 'Submit Request' button that says 'We typically reply in 24 hours or less', a resources page and a community.

I did not send my three standard questions, because I will not guess an address and the chat and form were not used. Support is not graded.
