Where each one falls short

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

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.

Turbopack

  • Effectively coupled to Next.js; using it standalone is not the supported path
  • Younger than the alternatives, and ecosystem plugin support is narrower than webpack’s
  • Benchmark claims have been contested publicly, so measure on your own project rather than trusting headline numbers
  • Being Vercel-driven ties its roadmap to one company’s framework priorities
