My rating

3.0/5Average

A quick AI builder with easy edits, held back by a password page on the trial and missing pages.

People who will pay for Pro and want a quick first page.

Based on 4 graded tests and my verdict. How I rate

Prefer to listen or watch? A 3-minute walkthrough, or the 4-minute video. Sound on.

I tested the TeleportHQ AI website builder on its free plan, which is a 7-day trial with no card: the cafe brief from my three standard briefs, twelve edits, speed and SEO checks, and every wall I reached. The free plan gave me no live app that anyone can open, because the trial puts a password page in front of the published site; going past it needs Pro from $14 a month, billed yearly.

Every measurement is in the TeleportHQ test results.

What Is TeleportHQ?

TeleportHQ is a code download. You describe your business in a box, the AI builds a site, and you edit it in a visual editor or by writing to an AI assistant.

I tested the free plan, which is a 7-day trial with 30,000 AI tokens, one project and no card. It publishes a site at a web address, puts a password page in front of it, and removes the site when the 7 days end. A paid plan is needed to download the code.

How I Tested TeleportHQ

Every number here comes from my own tests on the free plan. TeleportHQ never saw the review first. The plan allows one project, so I built the cafe brief and tested that site on its live address, through its password page.

Pro on yearly billing is about $168 a year, and on monthly billing about $252. I read the plans from the pricing page and not a checkout, so I could not see a renewal price.

Building a Site with TeleportHQ's AI

TeleportHQ's AI built the about four minutes. I pasted the cafe brief into one box, accepted the design, colours and fonts it picked for me, and watched a build screen.

The cafe brief in the first screen.

The AI planned five pages and built two: the home page and a Terms page. Menu Item Details and Catering waited under 'Planned, not built', and each took one click and about 2,500 tokens. Menu, About and Contact were never planned, so the site's menu links to pages that did not exist.

The home page is accurate: 19 of 20 were on the live pages, and the AI added no customer quotes, awards or staff. The one missing fact is the page list. The Menu link opens a page about a single drink, and there is no Contact page or form.

The first build used about 6,500 of the 30,000 tokens you get. The plan allows one project, so I could not build my photographer and shop briefs.

TeleportHQ Design on Phones and Desktops

The cafe's pages look an unreadable headline. The big title is cream text on a cream background, so the top of the home page is a blank space on desktop and on a phone.

My checker counted 12 faults on 5 pages: pale text on every page, small tap targets on every page, and sideways scrolling at phone width on two pages. No picture was broken or missing its alt text.

Editing Your TeleportHQ Site

TeleportHQ's AI assistant did 8 of 12. You write what you want in a chat, it asks you to confirm, and the change shows in the editor and, after you publish, on the live site.

Done: a section moved, the site font changed to Montserrat, an About page added with a menu link, a footer line, a button link, an image replaced, a phone-only change and a shorter text for one section. Most took about a minute and under 1,300 tokens, and the About page took 3 minutes and 4,300 tokens.

The embed edit: the assistant could not keep my code exactly.

Not done: the colours (the yellow changed, the navy did not), a duplicated section (the AI said it failed, and the page held three copies), embedded HTML, and a new form field, because the cafe has no form. I finished with 963 of 30,000 tokens left.

TeleportHQ Page Speed

TeleportHQ's cafe pages are average on phones. Google's speed test gave a median of 72 out of 100 across 6 phone runs, and 91 on desktop.

Phone speed score by page (median of three runs)

  • Catering page73
  • Home page72
Google's Lighthouse, phone settings, on the live cafe site.

The home page is lighter (2.1 MB) than the Catering page (4.8 MB). On a phone you wait 7.6 seconds for the main picture on the home page and 11 seconds on the Catering page. Nothing jumps around while you wait.

I tested two pages of one site, through the password page, so a public site may differ.

TeleportHQ SEO: Will Google Find Your Site?

TeleportHQ's live pages carry most SEO basics: 10 of my 12 points. Every page has a title, a description, one main heading, a canonical tag, structured data and social-card tags.

SEO basics seen on the live site (Yes = there)

  • Page title and meta description

    YesYes

    Every page; one page was flagged as missing in the Publish check.

  • One H1 per page, alt text on images

    YesYes

    No picture without alt text.

  • Clean page addresses, sitemap and robots.txt

    YesYes

    The sitemap lists the 5 pages.

  • Canonical tag, structured data, social cards

    YesYes

    3 to 4 structured-data blocks per page.

  • 301 redirects and no-index per page

    Not triedNo

    In the settings, not tried live.

The per-page SEO settings.

The live address is behind a password page, so you would need a paid plan before Google can read these pages.

TeleportHQ Domain, Forms and Shop

TeleportHQ's trial lets you one custom domain and little else of the business side. The Publish panel shows 'Custom domain, TRIAL, 0 of 1 slots used'. I did not connect one, because the site is removed when the 7 days end.

The cafe has no contact form, because the Contact page was never built, so I could not test a form message, tax or a mailbox. The plan allows one project, so you cannot test a shop with it either.

Can You Take Your TeleportHQ Site With You?

TeleportHQ shows no code download. The Download tab says 'Code downloads aren't included in your plan.' A paid plan adds React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Angular and HTML.

The wall in front of the code download.

The Code tab lets you view the code 10 times. When the trial ends, the site goes offline and the project is archived. I could not test a cancel, because there is no paid plan to cancel, or whether the downloaded code runs on another host.

TeleportHQ Backups and Security

TeleportHQ's live site sends four headers I check and forces https. It lacks Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. The certificate is valid until 25 January 2027.

The Backups button is greyed on the trial, and its tooltip says project backups are not included in the trial. The pricing page lists automatic backups for the free column, so the two disagree.

Your visitors would see no cookie banner, and I found no tracking script in the page source. I did not find a two-factor setting. Accessibility is covered in the design section: contrast problems on every page.

TeleportHQ Help and Support

TeleportHQ gave no reply yet. I emailed my questions on 28 October 2026 to hello@teleporthq.io, the only address on the site, and had no answer when I wrote this.

The help centre answered all three standard questions with an article each: connecting my own domain, a form that does not collect messages, and switching to yearly billing or fixing a card. It also explains why the trial adds the password page, so you are told. The editor has a chat widget, which I did not use.

TeleportHQ Reviews: What Other Users Say

Trustpilot says 2.6 from 7 reviews, read on 28 October 2026. The profile is unclaimed, and 3 reviews give five stars and 4 give one.

The five-star reviews praise easy building and helpful chat support. The one-star reviews mention slow support, a code download that did not run elsewhere, and tokens that run out fast. Seven reviews are too few to rely on, and I did not count G2 or Capterra.

Final verdict: is the TeleportHQ website builder worth it?

3.0

out of 5

A quick builder that hid the live site behind a password.

TeleportHQ built the cafe home page in about four minutes and I made 8 of 12 edits, but the AI built two pages and the live address needs a password.

Choose TeleportHQ if

  • You will pay for Pro
  • You want to edit by writing a sentence
  • You want the code download later

Skip it if

  • You need a free public site
  • You need all your pages from one brief
  • You need a contact form built for you

Best for: People who will pay for Pro and want a quick first page they can edit by sentence and later download as code.

I took off half a point: the live site needs a password, only 1 of 3 briefs could be built and the home headline cannot be read.

Frequently asked questions

How much does TeleportHQ cost, and is it free?

Free trial. The trial costs $0 and needs no card. Pro is $14 a month on yearly billing or $20.99 billed monthly, and Premium is $28 or $39.99. I could not read a renewal price without a checkout.

Is TeleportHQ legit?

Mostly yes. It built what I asked and asked for no card. Its Trustpilot score is 2.6 from only 7 reviews and the profile is unclaimed. I paid nothing, so I could not test billing or a refund.

Can I export my TeleportHQ site or move it?

Paid plans. The trial shows 'Code downloads aren't included in your plan.' Pro and Premium list HTML, React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt and Angular, which I could not try.

How do I cancel TeleportHQ, and what happens to my backups?

Not tested. The trial ends by itself on 4 November 2026 and removes the site. The editor says 'Project backups aren't included in the trial', and the pricing page lists automatic backups, so I could not test a restore.

Is TeleportHQ easy for a beginner, and what about cookies and accessibility?

Yes to start. You paste a description and get a page, and a sentence changes it. My live pages showed no cookie banner and no tracking script, and every page had pale text that fails a contrast check.

Can I sell things on TeleportHQ?

Not tested. The New Project screen offers an E-commerce type, but the plan allows one project and I used it on the cafe. The pricing page lists a store builder and Stripe payments as paid features.
