Side by side
| Kamega | WordPress.com | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per year | $89 a year, or $8.90 a month with no commitment. The price is final. | Personal $48, Premium $96, Business $300 a year, excluding taxes. |
| Domain | Connect your own domain (bought at a registrar). Without one the site runs on a kamega.ai address. | A free domain for the first year on the yearly plans; none on the free plan. |

| How you change things | Type a sentence in the chat and the change is live within a minute. Changes are included and not counted. | Yourself, in the editor. |
| Free trial | Yes, with no card. You pay after you have seen the finished site. | A free plan with ads on a WordPress.com address. |
| More pages and a shop | One page with sections (services, prices, gallery, contact). No shop, blog or bookings. | Many pages, a blog; plugins and a shop on Business and above. |
| Ads on your site | No ads and no third-party scripts. | The free plan shows ads; paid plans do not. |
| Leaving with your site | Download the whole site as a ZIP. | WordPress exports its content; the price list does not detail it. |
| Cancelling | Any time; the site runs to the end of the paid period. | The price list does not say. |
