Pricing
Free plan with Strikingly subdomain and basic features. Limited at $12/month adds custom domain and limited bandwidth. Pro at $20/month adds multiple pages and more features. VIP at $49/month for all features. All plans billed annually. The free plan is decent for personal projects.
Usability
Strikingly is one of the simplest website builders — select a template, replace content, publish. The section-based editor makes it impossible to create an ugly layout. The one-page focus keeps things simple and fast. You can build a complete landing page in 30 minutes or less. The trade-off is limited flexibility for complex multi-page websites.
