ChilledSites has no free tier. Building a site costs real money to run, so AI generation is paid from the start, from £8 one-off or £9/month for Pro. The only genuinely free part is browsing the template gallery.
Free AI Website Builder
What's actually free, and what isn't.
Most "free" AI website builders are free trials with heavy limits. Here's the honest truth about what you get for free, and what a live site actually costs.

What's genuinely free, and why the rest isn't
One thing here is actually free. The rest is paid, on purpose, and here's why.

No free generation
Every AI build costs us real money to run, so there's no free build and no free trial. Pro starts at £9/month and includes the generation.

Why there's no free tier
A free tier gets used by people who never intend to launch, funded by the people who do. £9/month keeps the queue for people building a real site.
The "free" myth
What other builders call "free"
These are the tricks most platforms use. We don't do any of them.
Ads on your site
Free plans on most builders plaster banner ads across your pages. Your visitors see their ads, not your content.
Forced subdomain
You get yourname.wix.com, not yourname.com. That kills your brand credibility before visitors even arrive.
AI locked behind upgrades
Sign up, get excited, hit the AI button, paywall. The thing they advertised is the thing they lock away.
Free trial expires in 14 days
Not "free", it's a time-limited demo. After two weeks your site goes offline unless you pay up.
Honest pricing
Here's what things actually cost
No hidden fees. No bait-and-switch. This is it.

Not one that includes real hosting. The only genuinely free thing at ChilledSites is browsing the template gallery, no account needed. Actually building a site with AI is paid from the start: tokens from £8 (PAYG) or Pro from £9/month, which includes a free domain, hosting, SSL, analytics and forms.
Most free builders show ads on your site, force you onto their subdomain, limit features heavily, or give you a free trial that expires. ChilledSites doesn't do any of that, and we don't pretend to have a free tier either. Every build costs real money to run, so it's paid from the start.
From £8 for a single AI-generated site (PAYG tokens), or £9/month for Pro (one site, 120K build tokens) which includes a free domain, hosting, SSL, analytics, contact forms and CRM sync. Pro+ is £18/month for three sites. Registered charities get 50% off Pro.
Browse free. Build for real money.
The template gallery is free to browse, no card, no account. Building your actual site with AI is from £8 one-off, or £9/month for Pro with everything included.
