How Labsite compares
General website builders and AI app builders can make any website. Labsite is made for one kind: a research lab’s, kept up to date by the lab itself.

Other builders’ prices are their public list prices in US dollars for the lowest plan with a custom domain, checked in October 2026; they change often and vary by country. “Roles” means site-wide editor accounts rather than access to chosen sections. AI app builders produce code that you host and maintain yourself or on their platform.
Questions
What is free?
Creating a site, importing your current one, editing every page and previewing it. You pay when you publish it for the world to see.
Why are prices different in India?
Labs in India pay in rupees, with GST included. Everywhere else pays in US dollars.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Every plan includes a free yourlab.labsite.ai address and connecting your own domain, such as raolab.org or a university subdomain.
What happens if we stop paying?
The site is unpublished, but nothing is deleted: you can still edit it, download everything, and publish again whenever you like.
