Overview

Tilda pairs a visual block editor with hosting, AI-assisted page creation, store tools and a built-in CRM. Its library of more than 550 customizable blocks and 210+ templates gives a broad range of projects a useful starting point, from portfolios and courses to event sites and presentations. That range is valuable for teams combining publishing and lead generation, but can be more than a simple personal page needs.

Sites can have up to 1,000 pages, and a custom domain is supported. Tilda also provides blogging, contact forms and built-in analytics, making it a viable publishing base as well as a campaign-site builder.

Key features

Design, AI and publishing

Responsive layouts adapt blocks across screen sizes, with five versions per block. Tilda AI can build pages from prompts, draft copy and create custom blocks with interactive functionality. These tools can accelerate initial site creation, while the extensive block and template library gives users a way to shape the result without starting from a blank page.

SEO controls cover H1 headings, alt tags, titles, descriptions, keywords, clean URLs, robots.txt and sitemaps. This is a practical set of publishing controls for teams managing discoverability as well as layout.

Stores, leads and integrations

Store features include product cards and variants, catalogs, carts, filtering, sorting, promo codes and product statistics. Payments can be taken through card processing, PayPal and Stripe; PayPal, Verifone and Stripe are named as integrated services, and custom gateways are supported. Order confirmations and CRM integrations support the sales workflow. These capabilities suit a business that wants its site and sales basics together, though the platform is not the right choice if the core requirement is a dedicated commerce system.

The built-in CRM tracks lead stages and contact history, and includes analytics, email sending and teamwork features. Forms can connect to Google Sheets, Mailchimp, SendGrid, Brevo, HubSpot, Salesforce, Monday.com, Telegram, Notion, Slack, Trello, Zapier, webhooks and custom scripts. This breadth makes Tilda more useful to teams with an existing marketing or operations stack than a builder with only basic form capture.

API, security and support

The API is limited to 150 requests per hour and Business subscribers. That is a meaningful constraint for integrations with higher request volumes, and a reason to check expected traffic before committing. Tilda says transferred data and databases use TLS 1.3 and SSL with RSA 2048-bit certificates, with Cloudflare DDoS protection. Its main servers are in Germany and Finland, using Hetzner and Amazon Web Services data centers. Tilda says its data-protection compliance efforts are evolving, including for GDPR and UAE Federal Decree Law No. 45 of 2021.

Support includes email and feedback-form assistance seven days a week, usually with a response within an hour, alongside a Help Center and video tutorials. Guides, courses, webinars and FAQs add self-service options.

Pricing

Tilda has a free plan, a 14-day trial and paid plans shown at $15.00 per month for Personal and $25.00 per month for Business. The separate pricing summary also gives a starting price of $10/mo (annual), so buyers should confirm the applicable term and plan price before subscribing.

Free: 0.00 USD per free. It allows one website and a collection of key blocks. This is suitable for a small trial or basic site, but it does not include the full block access and custom domain identified with Personal.
Personal: $15.00 per month for one website, full access to blocks and a custom domain. It fits an individual or small business publishing one primary site; the single-site cap rules it out for studios managing several client properties.
Business: $25.00 per month for five websites, Personal features and source-code export. It is aimed at companies managing multiple sites, designers and studios building for clients, and developers who need exported code. The Tilda API is also restricted to Business, though its 150-requests-per-hour limit may be too low for busier integrations.

After a subscription is not renewed, the site is unpublished while data remains stored for six months. Data is permanently deleted if the subscription is not renewed within that period, so an expired plan is not a substitute for a long-term backup.

Platforms

Tilda supports web and API access. Hosting is included, and an SSL certificate for HTTPS can be enabled from the personal account. Business code export produces a static HTML package with the required files, useful when a team needs a portable output rather than only a hosted site.

Who it's for

Tilda is best suited to small businesses and creators that want to build a site, collect leads and sell products in one platform, as well as studios that need multiple sites and developers who value static code export. It is less suitable for teams that need API access on a lower plan or more than 150 API requests per hour.

Pros and cons

Pros: More than 550 blocks, 210+ templates and prompt-based AI tools give teams several ways to build and refine varied site types.
Pros: Store features, payment options, CRM and a broad set of form integrations can keep publishing and lead workflows together.
Pros: SEO controls, responsive block variants and a 1,000-page limit support substantial publishing projects.
Cons: The free plan is capped at one website and key blocks; full block access and custom domains require Personal.
Cons: Personal is limited to one site, while five sites, code export and API access require Business.
Cons: The API's 150 requests per hour can constrain integrations with frequent calls.

Verdict

Tilda is a strong fit for businesses, creators and studios that want visual site building tied to ecommerce and lead management. Its breadth is the main reason to choose it; look elsewhere if you need API access below Business, higher API throughput, or more than one website without moving to the five-site plan.
