Webstudio offers a versatile website builder that allows users to choose between cloud-hosted and self-hosted options, catering to various needs. It emphasizes features like unlimited projects, custom domains, pages, and asset storage while integrating CMS functionalities for smooth content management. The self-hosted builder is a free, open-source tool that lets users build and export projects without any subscription fees, offering complete control over hosting and scalability. However, Webstudio claims the self-hosted option might not yet be ideal for production environments. The cloud-hosted builder offers a simple no-code setup with automatic SSL, DDoS protection, threat management, and high performance via global CDN and advanced bot mitigation. Real-time collaboration and advanced sharing permissions are available in cloud-hosted plans for team projects, but these features may be absent in self-hosted installations. Users can access the Webstudio Marketplace to integrate templates and sections, speeding up and customizing the design process.
The self-hosted builder is entirely free, with no hidden charges, while the cloud-hosted service offers a paid plan to cover advanced features and operational maintenance.
