webbefy vs GoDaddy Airo
GoDaddy's website builder, Airo, builds by conversation: you describe the site to an AI, then keep prompting or editing to shape it, using monthly AI credits. webbefy asks for the facts about your business and writes and designs a finished site from them. Both use AI. The difference is how much of the steering is yours.
Side by side
| What is compared | webbefy | GoDaddy |
|---|---|---|
| How the site gets built | You answer questions about your business. The AI drafts the whole site, with pages, copy and colours, and you pick the design you like. | You describe the site in plain language and Airo generates pages, copy and images. You refine it by prompting again or editing directly. |
| Changing it later | Update your details and the site updates with them. For a different look, generate a new design. There is no freeform layout editor. | Prompt the AI for changes, which uses AI credits, or edit text and images yourself, which does not. |
| Price | R499 a month per site, billed monthly in rand. Your first design is free. Extra designs are R20 each. | Starter from R119 a month billed annually, or R249 billed monthly, on GoDaddy's South African store. The first year of an annual plan is discounted, and the renewal price is not shown. |
| Free to try | Build and preview your whole site before paying. The monthly fee starts when you publish. | A free plan with 50 AI credits a month for building previews. Publishing is listed on the paid plans. |
| Your web address | A free webbefy.site address, and you can connect a domain you already own at no extra cost. | A free domain for the first year on annual plans, renewing at the standard rate. The free endings listed do not include .co.za. You can connect a domain you own. |
| Selling online and bookings | Not offered. Customers reach you through your contact form, WhatsApp, phone or email. | Appointment bookings, a product catalogue and online payments and deposits are listed from the Professional plan, R279 a month billed annually. Starter lists payment links and QR codes. |
| The words on your site | Written from the facts you give it. It is built not to add reviews, awards or clients you did not tell it about, and you read the copy before it goes live. | Generated from your prompts, which you then check and edit. |

Common questions
Are both of these AI website builders?
Yes, in different ways. Airo builds from prompts you write and changes as you keep prompting it. webbefy builds from structured facts about your business and is built not to add anything you did not tell it.
What are AI credits?
GoDaddy's plans include a monthly allowance of AI credits that generating with Airo uses up, and they expire at the end of each billing cycle. Editing text and images yourself does not use credits. webbefy's credits are only for generating designs. Your first design is free. Extra designs are R20 each. Credits do not expire while your account is open, and changing your details uses none.
Can I keep my domain name?
Yes. Wherever your domain is registered, GoDaddy included, connect it to webbefy by changing its DNS settings there. webbefy shows you exactly which records to add.
