Side by side
| Topic | Hostinger | page51 |
|---|---|---|
| How the site is made | Manual mode: drag and drop from 600+ templates, with an AI starting design. Agentic mode: AI writes code for web apps. | AI builds it from your description, your old website and your photos, after you agree a plan. |
| Changes later | Manual mode has no AI chat for editing; Agentic mode edits by chat. | By speaking or typing. Every change is shown before it goes live; one-step undo. |
| Chat for your visitors | In Agentic mode you can ask for a chatbot, paid in AI credits. | Included, set up from your own facts. Hands over to a person when the site does not say. |
| SEO | Speed and sitemaps automatic; an AI SEO assistant writes titles and descriptions page by page. | On-page and technical SEO set up for you: titles, descriptions, structured data, sitemap. |
| Leaving | Manual mode exports pages, texts and images, not the design, shop, forms or SEO settings. | Your texts, photos and web address. Download your content any time. |
| Price with your own domain | Premium: $2.49 a month on a 48-month prepay, then $10.99 a month on renewal. | $39 a month for one site; $15 a site from 10 sites. No build fee, free preview, month to month. |
