Review by a Growth Engineer

My verdict: the best tool for creating ultra-simple one-page sites.

Carrd is perfect for virtual business cards, minimalist landing pages, or bio links (like Linktree but better).

The interface is simple, templates are clean. The free plan (3 sites) is generous, Pro at $19/year is unbeatable.

What I like less: limited to one page per site (that's the concept). For multi-page sites, e-commerce, or advanced features, you need to move to Webflow or Framer.

My advice: if you need a simple and beautiful page quickly, Carrd is perfect. Test the free plan, you'll see it's enough for many use cases. For more ambitious projects, look at Framer or Webflow.

Why add it to your stack?

Carrd is the perfect tool when you need a simple and beautiful landing page in 30 minutes. No complex CMS, no unnecessary features - just the essentials for creating a page that converts.

At $19/year for Pro Standard, it's unbeatable. For MVPs, link-in-bio, or test landing pages, Carrd is the obvious choice before moving to Webflow or Framer.

The detailed verdict

Do I really need this?

Carrd isn't indispensable - you can create landing pages with Notion, Webflow, or even raw HTML. But for speed and price, Carrd is hard to beat.

It's the perfect 'quick and dirty' tool for testing ideas before investing in something more sophisticated.

Does it play nice with my stack?

Integrations are basic. Forms to email, Google Sheets, Mailchimp. Third-party widget embeds (Calendly, Stripe, etc.). No API, no headless CMS.

For more advanced needs, Webflow or Framer are better suited. Carrd stays focused on simplicity.

Is it easy to pick up?

Getting started is immediate. 15 minutes to choose a template, customize it, and publish. No learning curve, no technical config.

The one-page-per-site limitation simplifies everything. You can't overcomplicate your life even if you try.

Is the UX any good?

Carrd's UX is minimalist - sometimes too much. The drag-and-drop editor is basic, and you quickly feel limited if you want to go beyond templates. No reusable components, no design system.

Responsive is automatic but not always optimal. For truly custom pages, the experience becomes frustrating. It's made for quick, not sophisticated.

Is it worth it?

Carrd's value for money is unbeatable. $19/year for sites with custom domain, forms, and widgets - that's less than a month of Squarespace.

The free plan (3 sites on carrd.co) is enough to test. The investment is so low it's not worth overthinking.

What I like

  • Virtual business cards and one-page landing pages to test ideas quickly
  • Linktree alternative for bio links with more customization
  • Minimalist portfolios and quick MVPs before moving to Webflow or Framer

What I like less

  • Complex multi-page sites that require navigation between multiple pages
  • E-commerce and blogs with lots of content to manage
  • Advanced features since Carrd is very basic by design and limited to one page
