What Yola does

Builds and hosts websites from templates or AI-generated drafts, with a visual editor, SEO tools and optional online store features.

Yola is a website builder for creating and publishing a site, with hosting included automatically. AI can generate pages, blocks and copy, which you then edit or regenerate. You can also begin from one of 250+ templates, all customizable, and arrange pages visually without coding.

The official pages list built-in SEO tools for page titles, descriptions and URLs, along with a free universal SSL certificate and DDoS protection. For selling online, Yola supports products, digital goods, services or subscriptions, and lets you track orders from purchase to delivery. E-commerce has its own plans, shown separately on the pricing page, so store features are not part of the comparison of the three site plans.

Pricing is freemium. The free plan covers building and publishing a site, hosting included, with limited self-service support. Paid site plans are Personal, Business and Business Elite. Personal allows 5 websites, 2 GB storage, a 5 MB file size limit and 50 pages. Business allows 25 websites, 5 GB storage, a 100 MB file size limit and 500 pages. Business Elite allows 25 websites, unlimited storage, a 150 MB file size limit and 1000 pages. The pricing page also states a 30-day money-back guarantee for customers who are not 100% satisfied.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Free plan covers building and publishing a site with hosting included
  • AI can generate pages, blocks and copy that you then edit or regenerate
  • 250+ customizable templates plus a visual editor that needs no coding
  • Online store supports products, digital goods, services or subscriptions, with order tracking
  • Free SSL, DDoS protection and built-in SEO tools are listed

Cons

  • E-commerce has separate plans, not covered by the Personal, Business and Business Elite comparison
  • Publishing to a custom domain is listed among paid plan features
  • Personal plan is limited to 5 websites, 50 pages and a 5 MB file size limit
  • The pages do not mention an API or native apps

Our take

Yola fits small business owners, freelancers and shop owners who want hosting, a visual editor and AI drafting in one place and prefer to start on a free plan. The paid site plans differ in limits: Personal is capped at 50 pages and a 5 MB file size limit, while Business and Business Elite raise pages, storage and file size. Trade-offs: publishing to a custom domain is listed as a paid feature, e-commerce is priced on its own plans, and plan prices are not published in the pages we read. The pages say nothing about an API or native apps, so teams needing those should ask the vendor first.

Frequently asked questions

Does Yola have a free plan?

Yes. The free plan covers building and publishing a website with hosting included, with limited self-service support.

Is the online store part of the site plans?

No. The pricing page points to separate e-commerce plans, so the store is not part of the Personal, Business and Business Elite comparison. The vendor's FAQ says upgrading unlocks features such as a custom domain or online store; check the e-commerce plans for store costs.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

The pricing page states a 30-day money-back guarantee if you are not 100% satisfied.
