 "summary": "AI website builder that generates and hosts sites from a conversation — credit-based, with custom domains and code export on higher tiers. Wegic's own help center documents images only by upload or external URL; the built-in image generation the vendor promotes, including a product-photo-to-product-page pass, is not in that documentation and we have not tested it. A one-click optimize pass audits a published site for SEO and site-health problems and applies the fixes itself — vendor-announced in July 2026, and not something we have tested.",
 "best_for": "non-technical founders who want an AI to build and host a simple site fast, and are comfortable with usage-based credit pricing",
 "skip_if": "you want predictable flat pricing, or you'll iterate heavily — credits make redesigns expensive, and real use needs a paid plan quickly",
 "honest_knock": "Everything is credits, and generating a site burns them fast — Wegic's own page notes a single generation can cost over $10 in credits, while the free plan gives 100 credits once. The cheaper per-credit rate only kicks in on the higher annual tier, and premium AI media draws down a second 'Cloud' balance on top of your plan.",

  "notes": "(re-verified 19 September 2026 on wegic.ai/pricing in a browser; the monthly headline figures stand on the 30 August reading from a US exit, see below) Credit-based AI website builder, priced in US dollars. Free: 100 credits at signup only, which Wegic's FAQ describes as credits to chat with the AI — generating a site is a paid action. Trial pack $2.99. Starter $39.90/month, or $286.80 a year — $23.90/month, the advertised 40% off — for 600 credits/mo (~$0.04/credit), a permanent .wegic.net address, code export, e-commerce product display, website analytics and removal of the Wegic watermark. Premium $69.90/month, or $502.80 a year ($41.90/month), for 2,000 credits/mo (~$0.02/credit), a custom domain and up to 70% off extra credit purchases. Wegic's own Stripe catalogue also carries two- and three-year terms that the plan table does not show: Starter $525.60 and $680.40, Premium $885.60 and $1,220.40. A separate Wegic Cloud balance for AI image and video generation runs on top: $20/month of credit on Starter, $35 on Premium. Credits do not roll over — at the end of each monthly billing cycle the remaining balance is cleared — and when a subscription ends published sites stay live for up to 7 more days, the Wegic badge returns, and a site on a custom domain is unpublished until you republish it on a Wegic address. On 19 September the annual totals, the credit allowances, the Cloud balances and the 40% annual discount all re-read unchanged; the two monthly headline figures are drawn as an animated digit strip that carries no readable text, so those rest on the August reading and on the annual totals, which match them.",
