How SayLive stacks up.
Most website tools are subscriptions, and the AI ones charge you for generation you may already pay for. Here is an honest look, side by side.

What these comparisons compare
The question behind every page here is not which tool is better. It is which shape fits what you are doing: renting a builder by the month, or paying once for a site that already exists because your assistant wrote it.
So each comparison looks at the same five things: what you actually pay for, who builds the site, how long it takes to be live, what happens the day you stop paying, and who each tool genuinely suits. The last one is the important one.
The rules we hold ourselves to
- Every page carries a "choose them if" block, written to be believed rather than dismissed. A comparison where the competitor never wins is an advertisement
- No figure we could not read on the vendor's own pricing page. Where a price is rendered in JavaScript and cannot be quoted, we say the offer is monthly and link to their page instead of guessing
- Prices carry the date they were checked, because a number without a date rots quietly
- No feature is attributed to a competitor from memory. If we are unsure, it is left out
The reason is not modesty. A comparison that overstates its case is worthless to the person reading it and worse than worthless to us: it is the kind of claim that gets quoted back at us in a support ticket.
What SayLive is not
SayLive is not a website builder and not an AI. It does not generate anything: your own Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex does that, over the Model Context Protocol. SayLive is the last step, the one that takes those files and puts them on a real address.
That is why the comparisons read oddly at first: half the row is missing on our side because we do not sell an editor. What replaces the editor is a conversation, and how good the result is depends on how you direct it, which is what the guides are for.
If you have no assistant of your own and no wish to get one, an AI builder is the honest recommendation. Our argument only holds for people who already pay for one.
Questions about comparing
What is the cheapest way to put a website online?
For a single simple page built by hand, a cheap annual builder like Carrd is hard to beat. For a site your AI assistant already wrote, a one-time publish is cheaper over any real timeframe than a monthly builder, because a subscription is its figure multiplied by every month the site stays up. SayLive is €99 once, with hosting included.
Is SayLive an alternative to Squarespace or Wix?
For a site that is finished and just needs an address, yes. For a site you want to keep editing in a visual dashboard every week, no: SayLive has no editor, and updates happen by asking your assistant and republishing. The two products answer different questions.
Why does SayLive not sell AI generation?
Because most people who want a site already pay for Claude or ChatGPT, and an AI builder charges them for generation a second time. SayLive charges only for publishing, which is why there are no credits to buy. That is what "bring your own agent, don't pay twice" means.
How current are the prices on these pages?
They were checked at the source on 2 October 2026, and each comparison says where its figures came from. Where a vendor does not publish a price we can read and quote reliably, we do not put a number on it at all: we describe the shape of the offer and link to their own pricing page.
