Tilda: build a polished brochure site or landing page without writing code
Good tool
With Tilda, you put a website together like a layout: you pick ready-designed blocks (cover, text, gallery, form, pricing), stack them, swap in your content and publish. The result adapts to mobile on its own and takes particular care with typography and animations, which makes it a favorite of designers, freelancers and small marketing teams. It is mainly used to launch brochure sites, portfolios and landing pages, and it also offers a small store, a CRM and AI tools. Next to Wix, Squarespace or Webflow, it stands out for the visual polish you get in little time, at a low price.
What is Tilda?
Tilda is an online website builder: nothing to install or host, everything happens in the browser. Its library has more than 550 ready-made blocks, sorted into categories, and more than 210 complete site templates. Each block can be adjusted (colors, spacing, fonts, entrance animation) without touching code. To go further, the Zero Block opens a blank canvas where you freely place text, shapes and images, with separate settings for each screen size and step-by-step animations: it is what lets you faithfully reproduce a design mockup. Around the editor, Tilda adds a product catalog with cart and checkout (Stripe, PayPal…), forms and quizzes connected to its own CRM, a newsletter editor, a members area for online courses, feeds for running a blog, and SEO settings (title tags, descriptions, 301 redirects). On the AI side, the Vibe Block generates a block or a page from a prompt, an assistant writes the copy, and an MCP server lets an agent such as Claude or Cursor edit the site.
The service was launched in 2014 by Nikita Obukhov, an art director and author of design courses, who still runs it. Of Russian origin, the company later split its operations: the international platform, tilda.cc, is operated by Tilda Platform Cloud Services Co. LLC, a company based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, while a separate Moscow entity serves users located in Russia on tilda.ru, and Kazakhstan and Belarus have their own domains. The company claims millions of users, without publishing a precise figure.

Tilda review
Good tool
Tilda is one of the best choices for quickly shipping a page that looks sharp. The blocks are well designed, spacing and typography fall into place effortlessly, and in an afternoon you get a brochure site or landing page that doesn’t feel like a template. The Zero Block makes the difference for designers: it lets you stick to a mockup and add polished animations, where many mainstream builders lock you into their grid. That freedom comes at a cost in practice: every element is placed in absolute position, so the layout has to be adjusted screen by screen, and a simple text change can shift what surrounds it. Better to save these blocks for the sections that really need them, a cover or an animation, and keep the standard blocks for the rest, which are lighter and easier to keep up to date.
Tilda thinks in pages and stacked blocks, however, not in structured content: as soon as the site has to handle a large catalog, many filterable entries or business logic, the tool shows its seams. The store suits a handful of products, not hundreds of SKUs. For a content-rich site, Webflow or a CMS like WordPress offer more freedom, at the cost of a longer learning curve.
The pricing, among the lowest on the market, holds two surprises. The “Made on Tilda” badge can only be removed with annual billing, which in practice pushes you toward a yearly commitment. And the subscription renews automatically: you had better cancel in time, as the company asks you to do so at least three days before the renewal date. Support, for its part, usually answers quickly and well.
The company, of Russian origin, now runs the international version from Dubai. That changes nothing in day-to-day use, but some organizations will want to check it against their own procurement rules.
Strengths
- Well-designed blocks that give a professional result effortlessly.
- The Zero Block, to reproduce a mockup with pixel precision and animate pages.
- Quick to learn, even with no web experience.
- Low prices, with a free plan to test or publish a small site.
- Forms, CRM, newsletters and store included with no extra paid module.
- Export of the code as static HTML, rare among builders, on the Business plan.
Weaknesses
- A limited store, poorly suited to a catalog of hundreds of products.
- A stacked-page logic, less comfortable for a highly structured site.
- The “Made on Tilda” badge stays as long as you pay monthly.
- Automatic renewal that must be canceled at least three days before the due date.
- A Personal plan limited to a single site per account.
- A site unpublished as soon as the subscription stops, with data kept for only six months.
Is Tilda worth it?
Yes, if you need to launch a brochure site, a portfolio, an event page or a landing page that has to make a good impression, without a developer and without spending weeks on it. It is an excellent tool for designers and freelancers who deliver websites to their clients, and for marketing teams that churn out campaign pages: at $10 a month billed annually, it is hard to find a better ratio of price to result.
Not necessarily, if your project is a store first and foremost: Shopify or WooCommerce handle catalogs and inventory far better. The same caveat applies to a highly structured editorial site, better served by Webflow or WordPress. If you simply want the most guided tool possible, Wix or Squarespace offer more hand-holding, and for a very simple single page, a lighter tool such as Carrd may be enough.
How much does Tilda cost?
Tilda publishes its international prices in dollars only, with three plans: a free version for a simple site, then two subscriptions payable monthly or yearly, with annual billing cutting the bill by a third on the Personal plan. Every paid plan unlocks all the features; the difference lies mainly in the number of sites and code export.
| Plan | Per month | Per month, billed yearly | Included | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | — | 1 site, a selection of essential blocks, tilda.ws subdomain | Testing the tool or publishing a very simple site |
| Personal | $15 | $10 | 1 site, all blocks, custom domain | Freelancer, small business, brochure site |
| Business | $25 | $20 | 5 sites, all features, code export | Designers and agencies managing several sites |

FAQ
Answers to questions about Tilda
Is Tilda free?
Yes, for a site built with a selection of blocks and published on a tilda.ws subdomain. To use all the blocks and your own domain name, you need a Personal subscription, starting at $10 a month billed annually.
Can you build an online store with Tilda?
Yes, with a catalog, a cart and payment through Stripe or PayPal. It works well for a few dozen products; for a large catalog, a specialized platform such as Shopify is a better fit.
What is the difference between Tilda and Webflow?
Tilda starts from ready-designed blocks that you assemble, which is faster for brochure sites and landing pages. Webflow gives more freedom and handles structured content better, but takes longer to learn.
Who is behind Tilda?
Tilda was launched in 2014 by Nikita Obukhov, who still runs it. Of Russian origin, the international platform is now operated by a company based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Can you get the code of your Tilda site?
Partly, with the Business plan: the export provides a static HTML version of the pages, with their images, stylesheets and scripts, to host wherever you like. Forms, the cart, the members area and analytics, however, still go through Tilda’s servers and only work as long as the subscription stays active. The export protects the design, not the site’s full independence.
