Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Sass

  • Licensed under the MIT License per sass-lang.com; as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare
  • The LibSass and Ruby Sass implementations are marked deprecated on sass-lang.com, leaving Dart Sass as the only actively maintained compiler

Strikingly

  • Strikingly is optimized for single-page sites and is not well suited to building large, multi-section websites.
  • Transaction fees of 2-5% apply to store sales on lower-tier plans in addition to payment processor fees.
  • Design customization is limited compared to code-based site builders, since sites are built from fixed templates.
  • The free plan does not support a custom domain, limiting its use for professional or commercial sites.
