Best AI website builders for sites that sell
The short answer
Lovable and Replo meet all five things a selling site needs. Lovable's first plan costs less and it builds apps; Replo builds on your brand and shows which page sells. Webflow, Bolt and Shopify meet four. Wix, Replit and v0 meet three, and Framer and Squarespace two, mostly for lack of a Shopify catalog or code.
How we ranked
We ranked for someone building a site that sells. Each builder gets one point for each of five things, read from its own pricing page and docs: a free plan, a custom domain, taking payments without code, building from an existing Shopify catalog, and access to the code. Ties go to the cheaper first paid plan.
We didn't run the same build in every tool, so design quality and speed aren't scored. Prices are each builder's cheapest paid plan, billed yearly where listed. Replo is ours; it's scored by the same rule.

The best builder for each job
The ranking measures what a selling site needs. Pick by what you're building.
Best for web apps with login and data
Lovable
Turns a prompt into a working app with a database, login and payments.
Where it loses: made for apps first; brand, conversion and page analytics are on you.
Best for sites that sell, measured
Replo
Builds on your brand and catalog, then shows which page sells.
Where it loses: the priciest first plan here; checkout is one-time USD only, and it doesn't build apps.
Best for designers who want control
Webflow
Pixel-level design and a strong CMS, with an AI site builder to start.
Where it loses: a steeper learning curve, and selling needs a separate Ecommerce plan.
Best for full-stack prototypes
Bolt
Builds and hosts a full-stack app in the browser, with Stripe in a few clicks.
Where it loses: no store catalog to build from, and design is generic until you push it.
Best for a full product store
Shopify
Its AI store generator drafts a theme, with checkout, stock and shipping built in.
Where it loses: the AI only drafts a theme; pages beyond it are slow to build.
Best for small businesses, all in one
Wix
Generates a small-business site from a description, with bookings and a store.
Where it loses: you can't take the site or its code elsewhere.
Best for apps with real backends
Replit
An agent that writes, runs and hosts backend code, databases and integrations.
Where it loses: built for developers' apps; a store site needs more setup.
Best for React front ends
v0
Production-grade React and Next.js front ends, deployed straight to Vercel.
Where it loses: priced per user, and a site that sells needs developer setup.
Best for polished marketing sites
Framer
Fast, animated marketing sites, with an AI agent on a visual canvas.
Where it loses: no checkout of its own; selling runs through plugins.
Best for a good-looking site, fast
Squarespace
Blueprint AI drafts a well-designed multi-page site from a few answers.
Where it loses: no code access, and thinner store tools than a commerce platform.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the best AI website builder?
- For a site that sells, Lovable and Replo meet all five checks in our ranking. Pick Lovable for an app with login and a database. Pick Replo for a site on your brand that sells from your catalog or Replo checkout and shows which page converts.
- Is there a free AI website builder?
- Yes. Lovable, Replo, Webflow, Bolt, Wix, Replit, v0 and Framer all have free plans, with limits such as daily credits, a branded address or no payments. Shopify and Squarespace offer free trials instead.
- Where does Replo lose?
- On price and range. Replo's first paid plan, Starter, is $99 a month, billed yearly, more than every other builder here. It builds sites and stores, not apps, and its own checkout sells one-time USD prices only. It ranks number 2 by our rule.
- Can an AI website builder use my Shopify products?
- Lovable and Replo connect an existing Shopify store and build from its products, and Shopify's own AI drafts a theme for your store. v0 and Replit can create a new Shopify store; Wix, Squarespace, Webflow and Framer rely on embeds or third-party apps.
