Showit review

Showit is a drag-and-drop website builder for people who want to control page layouts without writing code. You can start with a free or premium template, customize the design, and adjust SEO settings. For blogging, Showit connects to WordPress: you design blog pages in Showit and publish posts through WordPress. The blog plans differ by monthly visit limits, storage, and plugin access.

The pricing page lists a 14-day free trial but no free plan. The website-only Showit plan costs $22 per month with annual billing or $27 month to month. Adding a blog starts at $27 per month billed annually for the Basic Starter Blog plan, or $34 month to month. Annual prices are monthly equivalents paid yearly, and monthly billing costs more. Showit also lists integrations including Flodesk, Shopify, WooCommerce, and MemberPress.

Showit’s main draw is design control: you can build and customize layouts in a visual editor rather than being limited to a fixed theme. Templates offer a faster starting point, while the editor supports more tailored site designs. That flexibility may matter to photographers and other visual businesses; users in a wedding-photography Reddit thread praised Showit’s customization and portfolio fit. Those are individual opinions, not evidence that it will improve search rankings.

The WordPress connection gives bloggers a familiar publishing platform while letting them design blog pages in Showit. The pricing page says the Advanced Blog plan includes custom plugins, unlimited WordPress users, and free migration from WordPress or Squarespace. That plan costs $39 per month billed annually or $49 month to month. Showit also supports integrations such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Flodesk, and MemberPress. If you want a distinctive site and a WordPress blog in one subscription, those are meaningful advantages—provided the blog plan’s limits fit your traffic and plugin needs.

Showit’s blog plans have specific caps. Basic Starter Blog allows up to 10,000 monthly visits, 20 GB of blog storage, and pre-installed plugins only; additional plugins are not permitted. Advanced Blog raises the limit to 25,000 visits and allows custom plugins, but still includes 20 GB of storage. Its backups run every 10 minutes and are stored for seven days, according to the pricing page.

Higher-traffic plans cost more: Advanced Blog 100K is $63 per month annually ($79 month to month), with 30 GB of storage; Advanced Blog 200K is $119 annually ($149 month to month), also with 30 GB. Above 200,000 monthly visits, Showit says to contact support for custom hosting, with pricing not published. The High Bandwidth add-on also has no published price. There is no free plan, and annual prices require yearly billing. If you want a simpler site or need predictable costs beyond the listed caps, check the total before switching.

Showit starts at $22/month when billed annually, or $27 month to month. The pricing page lists a 14-day free trial but no free plan. Annual prices are monthly equivalents billed yearly, so compare the monthly rate before you commit.

For a blog, Showit & Basic Starter Blog costs $27/month annually or $34 monthly. It caps visits at 10,000 per month and does not allow additional plugins. Showit & Advanced Blog costs $39 annually or $49 monthly: that’s a $12 annual-billing jump, raising the cap to 25,000 visits and allowing custom plugins. It also includes free WordPress or Squarespace migration.

Higher-traffic plans cost $63/month annually for up to 100,000 visits and $119 for up to 200,000. Both include 30 GB of blog storage. Above 200,000 visits, pricing is custom. High Bandwidth is an add-on, but its price is not published; Showit says to contact Support. Check your traffic and plugin needs before choosing a tier.

The clearest migration offer is on Showit & Advanced Blog: the plan includes free migration from WordPress or Squarespace. The pricing details do not specify what that migration covers, so confirm whether it includes posts, images, redirects, and formatting before switching. Basic Starter Blog does not list migration as an included feature.

Showit’s site builder is separate from its WordPress-powered blogging, but the published materials do not explain what you can export if you leave, or whether you can take your designs with you. Treat design portability as unresolved; ask Showit what files and content you can retain before rebuilding a site around it. The materials also provide no Reddit posts or comments, so we can’t reliably say what users on Reddit report as reasons for leaving. For a blog, verify the export path and plugin compatibility first; for a site without a blog, ask how the custom design would transfer.
