WordPress.com is Automattic's hosted version of WordPress, and not the same thing as the free self-hosted WordPress.org software. Its AI website builder generates a complete site, layout, images and copy, from a plain-language description, and unusually it is available on the free plan rather than paywalled.
Pricing needs care. Every committed term is quoted at a first-term promotional rate that renews higher, so the figure shown here is the undiscounted month-to-month price. Selling online requires the Commerce plan, which bundles WooCommerce.
WordPress.com was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in San Francisco, USA.
