Carrd score: 3.7 / 10

Rank 4 of 10. Every number here is calculated from the verified fields on this page using the weights published in our methodology. A field Carrd does not document scores zero.

Measurement and retargeting · 30%: 2.7 / 10 — Visitor analytics, analytics history and export, UTM handling, and Meta, TikTok and Google tracking. Weighted highest because measurement is what turns a bio page into an acquisition channel.
Free-tier capability · 20%: 0.0 / 10 — How much of the product is usable without paying: whether a free plan exists at all, and which capabilities the platform documents as included on it.
Cost of entry · 15%: 10.0 / 10 — Annualised cost of the cheapest paid tier, plus whether a free plan exists. One-time pricing is amortised over three years.
Branding and page control · 15%: 4.5 / 10 — Custom domain, platform branding removal, unlimited links, CSS and font control, video backgrounds, scheduling and password protection.
Commerce · 10%: 4.3 / 10 — Native storefront and checkout, digital products, courses, memberships, bookings, tips, and the platform's own cut of each sale.
Technical and search visibility · 10%: 3.0 / 10 — Server-rendered profile HTML, SEO and meta controls, a public API, and documented third-party integrations.

Corrections to this record

2026-09-18 · Custom domain
Changed from “Any Pro tier” to “Pro Standard or higher ($19/year)”. Carrd's documentation for using a custom domain is labelled 'Requires Pro Standard or higher', so the $9/year Pro Lite tier does not include one. The buyer guide's 'cheapest custom domain' framing was corrected to name the $19/year tier.
