Strikingly review

Strikingly is a no-code website builder for entrepreneurs and creatives who want to publish a mobile-optimized site without coding or design skills. Its visual editor lets you edit site content on one screen and publish changes, while built-in tools cover basic selling, blogging, signups and traffic reporting.

You can add products, coupons, shipping options, digital goods and membership log-ins; publish blog posts on their own pages; and add contact or signup forms. Built-in charts show site visitors. Strikingly also offers a mobile app for choosing a template, editing a site and publishing from a phone.

That makes the product a fit for a straightforward business site, portfolio, blog or small store. It is a site builder, not a promise of customers: one Reddit discussion about choosing a builder for a cafe stresses that marketing and site design matter more than the platform alone.

The main appeal is scope: Strikingly puts editing, publishing, forms, blog posts and basic store tools in one builder. For someone who needs to get a small site online without hiring a developer, that is a simpler starting point than assembling separate tools. The mobile app also lets users edit and publish from a phone, according to the published product details.

Its annual-billing prices start at $8 per month for Limited, according to the pricing page. That plan includes two Limited sites, 1 GB of storage per site, 50 GB bandwidth and up to five pages per site. Pro costs $16 per month on annual billing and raises the cap to 100 pages per site, with up to 300 products and unlimited bandwidth. VIP is $49 per month on annual billing and includes up to 500 products and a 0% transaction fee.

Those tiers make the limits visible before you build. If your project fits the page and product caps, the bundled builder, blog, forms and store features may cover the basics without stitching together separate services.

The low starting price buys a constrained plan. Limited allows only five pages per site, 1 GB of storage per site and 50 GB bandwidth, and its listed transaction fee is 5%. Pro raises the ceiling to 100 pages and 300 products, but the pricing information does not specify its transaction fee. VIP removes the listed transaction fee and allows 500 products, but costs $49 per month on annual billing.

The quoted prices are monthly equivalents billed yearly. Strikingly offers monthly billing, but those prices are not published on the vendor's site; it also offers two-, three- and five-year terms. A free plan is listed, but its limits are not specified here. Budget separately for a domain ($24.95 per year) or custom email ($25 per year); additional site prices are not listed.

There is also a switching consideration. In one Reddit thread, a commenter warned that site builders can make migration difficult, but that was a general criticism of builders, not a Strikingly-specific report. If portability matters, check what you can export before committing.

Strikingly has a free plan, but its paid prices are monthly equivalents billed yearly, according to the pricing information checked on November 7, 2026. Limited costs $8 per month and allows 2 sites, 5 pages per site, 1 GB storage per site, 50 GB bandwidth, and a 5% transaction fee. Pro is $16 per month: twice the entry price, with 3 sites, up to 100 pages per site, 20 GB storage per site, unlimited bandwidth, and up to 300 products. VIP jumps to $49 per month, roughly three times Pro, and includes 5 sites, up to 500 products, 2,000 active contacts, and no transaction fee.

A domain costs $24.95 per year; custom email is $25 per year. Extra sites are available, but their price is not listed. Monthly billing is offered, though its prices are unpublished. Two-, three-, and five-year terms are also offered, so check the checkout total before committing. The 5-page Limited cap is tight for growing sites.

The published product information describes Strikingly’s editor and publishing features, but does not say whether sites, blog posts, products, or contact records can be exported or imported. That makes migration effort and lock-in hard to assess from the available evidence. Before moving, inventory your pages, posts, products, forms, and signups, then confirm what can transfer; plan for manual rebuilding if export tools do not cover them.

The published published material includes no Reddit reports, so we can’t substantiate what users say tends to make them leave. We also can’t verify whether Strikingly supports redirects or a full site export. Ask support about both before switching, especially if your existing pages bring in search traffic. If you’re leaving, keep access to your old site until you’ve checked the replacement’s content, links, and signup flows. If you’re moving in, compare your current page count and product catalog with Strikingly’s caps: Pro tops out at 100 pages and 300 products.
