ItIsMe vs Google Sites comparison: pricing, custom domain, Android app, AI chat, and design flexibility. See which free website builder fits you best.
Google Sites is free and simple, but it locks your website to a sites.google.com address and leaves you managing everything from a laptop. Here's how ItIsMe compares feature for feature.
Get Started FreeGoogle Sites is a free tool bundled into every Google account. There's no signup fee, and it uses your existing 15GB Google Drive storage, so for a very basic one-page site it costs nothing to try. The editor works like Google Docs — drag in text, images, and embeds, and multiple people can edit the same page at once, which is genuinely useful for internal teams or classroom projects.
But it was built for internal documentation and simple info pages, not for a business or personal website that needs to look professional and rank well. Sites created on a personal Google account publish to a sites.google.com/view/your-site-name address — there's no way to attach your own domain without a separate paid Google Workspace subscription, no e-commerce, no built-in AI chat, and no way to manage the site from your phone beyond basic edits in a mobile browser.
| Feature | Google Sites | ItIsMe |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Free (custom domain needs paid Workspace) | Free — ₹0/year, no card required |
| Manage from Android app | No dedicated app | Yes — full site management |
| Personal / Business modes | No mode switching | Yes — Personal and Business Mode |
| Built-in AI chat assistant | None | Yes — free on every plan, 24/7 |
| Design flexibility | Very limited, doc-style layouts | Purpose-built website sections and gallery |
| Blog / content publishing | Not built for blogging | Up to 999 blog posts on Enterprise |
| E-commerce / product listings | Not supported | Up to 999 products on Business Mode plans |
Google Sites has no dedicated app. ItIsMe's Android app lets you update text, photos, blog posts, and your gallery without opening a laptop.
Start in Personal Mode as an individual, then switch to Business Mode when you're ready to add products, a team page, or a custom hero — no rebuild needed.
Every ItIsMe website ships with a free AI chat assistant, standalone at talk.itisme.in, so visitors get answers even when you're offline.
ItIsMe's sections, gallery, and product cards are purpose-built for presenting yourself or your business — not a repurposed document editor.
Google Sites is free too — but the moment you want a real domain, you're paying for Google Workspace on top. ItIsMe includes an Android app, two modes (Personal and Business), and a built-in AI chat assistant on every plan, free forever on Basic.
Google Sites still makes sense for one narrow case: an internal team wiki, a class project page, or a quick shared document that a few people need to edit together and nobody outside the organization will judge on looks. If that's genuinely your use case, it's a fine free tool and there's no reason to switch.
But if the website represents you or your business to customers, clients, or recruiters, the gap shows up fast. A sites.google.com/view/ address doesn't read as a real website, the layout options are limited to what a document editor can produce, and there's no path to selling anything or answering visitor questions automatically. Freelancers, students, coaches, shop owners, and consultants need something that looks finished from the first visit and that they can keep updating without sitting down at a laptop every time.
ItIsMe was built specifically for that gap — a free website that looks like a website, an Android app so updates take two minutes from your phone, a Business Mode to switch into once you're ready to sell, and an AI chat assistant that handles visitor questions while you're offline. It costs nothing to try either one, so the fastest way to decide is to build a page on both and compare them side by side.
Yes, for a basic site on the sites.google.com subdomain. A custom domain requires a paid Google Workspace subscription, which starts at a monthly fee on top of the domain cost.
Only through a mobile browser, and editing is clunky. ItIsMe has a dedicated Android app built for managing your entire website — content, gallery, and blog — from your phone.
No. Google Sites has no built-in product catalog or checkout. ItIsMe's Business Mode supports up to 999 products on the Enterprise plan.
ItIsMe's Personal Mode is purpose-built for individuals — freelancers, students, and professionals — with sections designed for a website, not a document. Google Sites works but looks and feels more like an internal wiki page.
Yes. Every ItIsMe website includes a free, built-in AI chat assistant available 24/7, also accessible as a standalone link at talk.itisme.in. Google Sites has no equivalent feature.
Yes. Most people rebuild their pages in ItIsMe's editor in under an hour, since text and images from Google Sites can simply be copied across into the new sections.
