Who should choose Solo
You need a multi-page service site -- an about page, services page, blog, and contact form -- generated quickly from a business description. You want AI to seed the structure and copy so you are not starting from a blank template. Custom domain on a free plan matters to you.
Who should choose Carrd
Your entire web presence fits on a single page -- a link-in-bio, a personal profile, a portfolio landing page, or a simple 'hire me' page -- and cost minimization is the priority. At $19/year for custom domain support, Carrd is one of the most cost-effective tools in existence for its use case.
