Readymag’s figures read off its own pricing page on 2026-09-04

A Readymag alternative, without the traffic meter

These are the two most similar products in this comparison — both canvases, both three layouts. The differences that matter are that Readymag caps your monthly views and keeps code export on its top tier.

The short answer.

Readymag has the bigger toolbox — version history, password protection, Lottie, a large font and icon library. We have the Figma import and no cap on how many people visit your site. Pick on those two things, because the rest is close.

  • Stay on Readymag if…

    You use the widget set, you want version-history snapshots and password protection, and your traffic fits inside the cap on the tier you pay for. Entry is from EUR 13/mo billed yearly on the EU price sheet.

  • Look at Siter.io if…

    The design already exists in Figma, you would rather not think about a monthly view allowance, and you want more than one site on your own domain without a tier jump.

What it costs to publish one site.

One caveat worth stating up front. Readymag serves its pricing page by region, and read from Europe it returns euros. Every Readymag figure here is from that EU sheet and is not converted, because a converted price is a made-up price.

The pricing detail that catches people.

Readymag is the only builder in this comparison set that meters how many people can look at your work.

Views are capped per month, across all your published sites. 10,000 on Personal, 25,000 on Freelancer, 75,000 on Advanced. For a portfolio that ticks along quietly this never comes up. For a project that gets picked up somewhere, it is a ceiling you did not design for, and it applies to your whole account rather than to the one site that went viral.

What Readymag does not publish is what happens when you cross it — whether the site keeps serving, stops, or costs more. We are not going to guess, and neither should any comparison page. If it matters to you, that is a question to put to Readymag before you commit.

The second detail is custom domains. Personal publishes one site on your own domain; a second means Freelancer at EUR 27 a month. Siter.io prices per account instead: Plus at $12/mo publishes 3 sites and Pro at $24/mo publishes 5, each on its own domain at no extra cost.

Where Readymag is genuinely better.

This is the closest comparison on the site, and the list is real. If any of it matters to you, stay where you are.

  • A canvas with a safety net

    Version history snapshots run from 6 on Personal to 44 on Advanced, and password protection covers a whole site or selected pages. Siter.io documents neither at that level of detail.

  • Code export exists

    Advanced includes code export and iframe embedding. Siter.io's HTML download is Pro only and the archive contents are not documented.

  • Three layouts, like ours, plus more widgets

    Desktop, mobile and tablet layouts with Lottie, Adobe and type.today fonts, and 2m+ Noun Project icons included. It is a bigger toolbox on the same responsive model.

  • It publishes free

    One site of up to 10 pages, live on a Readymag domain with branding. Siter.io's free plan does not publish at all.

Why designers look elsewhere.

Four constraints, all stated on Readymag’s own pricing page rather than inferred from forums.

  • Your traffic is metered

    Views are capped per month across all your published sites - 10,000 on Personal, 25,000 on Freelancer, 75,000 on Advanced. No other builder on this site meters traffic that way, and a post that does well is a billing event.

    Source

  • Code export is the top tier

    Code export appears only on Advanced, which is EUR 51 a month billed yearly on the EU sheet. On Personal and Freelancer there is no way to take the built site with you.

    Source

  • One custom domain on the entry plan

    Personal publishes one site with a custom domain. A second client site means Freelancer at EUR 27 a month. Siter.io prices per account instead, so Plus at $12 a month publishes three sites.

    Source

  • The free plan is a demo

    Forms, Lottie and custom code are preview-only on Free, so the things that make a page do something are exactly the things you cannot publish without paying.

    Source

  • How moving actually goes.

    Two canvases, no shared format. This is a rebuild, and the honest version says so.

    1. Open the original design file.

    2. Send the frame with the plugin.

    3. Rebuild interactions on the canvas.

    4. Move the domain when it looks right.

  • There is no import path between them

    Readymag’s code export lives on Advanced, EUR 51 a month billed yearly on the EU sheet. Even with it, an exported Readymag site is not something Siter.io reads — and we have no Readymag importer.

    So the route is the design file, not the built site. The import runs on every plan including free - one-way import, no re-sync, and prototype animations and interactions do not import. The three-layout model is the same on both sides, so the responsive work translates more directly than it would from a breakpoint system.

    Keep the Readymag site published while you build. The Figma plugin page walks through Siter.io’s route with screenshots.

What you give up, stated plainly.

Readymag has more product than we do, and these are the parts you would miss.

  • Version history snapshots. Readymag counts them per project — 6, 12 or 44 by tier. Yes, but not documented at that granularity.
  • Password protection. Readymag covers a whole site or selected pages from Personal up. Ours is not documented.
  • A bigger widget set. Lottie, free Adobe and type.today fonts, 2m+ Noun Project icons. We have yes - upload your own font files and a smaller box of parts.
  • The free plan does not publish. The free plan builds and previews privately; publishing needs a paid plan. Readymag’s free plan puts a 10-page site on the internet.
  • No CMS, collections or blog. Readymag’s pricing page does not mention one either, so this is likely a draw.
  • Code export is limited. HTML download on Pro only; the contents of the export are not documented. Readymag’s is Advanced-only, so both of us make you pay up for it.

What you get instead: no monthly view cap; the Figma import on every plan including the free one; every published site on its own domain at no extra cost; and editors inside the plan at 2 on Solo and 6 on Pro, against Readymag’s 1 on Personal.

Who should stay on Readymag

Anyone deep in the widget set, anyone who relies on version-history snapshots or password-protected pages, and anyone whose work is a single high-craft site that comfortably fits the view allowance. It is a good product and this is a narrow argument, not a broad one.

Frequently asked.

Is Readymag free?

There is a free plan and it publishes. You get one website of up to 10 pages on a Readymag domain, with Readymag branding and access to all the widgets. The catch is that forms, Lottie and custom code are preview-only on Free — so the parts that make a page do something are the parts you cannot publish without paying.

What is Readymag?

A browser-based design canvas for publishing websites, editorials and presentations. You position elements freely rather than filling in a template, and you work across desktop, mobile and tablet layouts. It sits in the same category as Siter.io — a design tool that publishes — rather than with template builders like Squarespace.

How much is Readymag?

Read from Europe, Personal is EUR 13 a month billed yearly or EUR 18 monthly, Freelancer is EUR 27, and Advanced is EUR 51. There is an Extra tier priced on request. Readymag serves its pricing page by region, so those are the EU figures and we have deliberately not converted them. Students get 50% off and registered non-profits get 50% off any plan.

How do I export a site from Readymag?

Code export exists, but only on the Advanced plan — EUR 51 a month billed yearly on the EU sheet. Advanced also allows embedding a project into an external site with an iframe. On Free, Personal and Freelancer there is no documented way to take the built site with you.

Is Readymag responsive?

Yes, through three layouts — desktop, mobile and tablet — which you lay out separately. It is the same model Siter.io uses. It is not a breakpoint system in the Webflow sense, so if you need arbitrary custom breakpoints neither product is the right answer.

What happens if a Readymag site passes its view limit?

Readymag publishes the caps — 10,000 views a month on Personal, 25,000 on Freelancer, 75,000 on Advanced, counted across all your published sites — but does not publish what happens when you exceed one. We are not going to guess at it. If your work has any chance of a traffic spike, ask Readymag directly before you rely on the answer.
