The site you just came from was made with Ikiro — by its owner, in a folder they can leave with anytime.
Unlimited A/B testing. You paste a prompt. It’s free.
Type a name — live in seconds, no sign-in, no card. Connect Claude. Paste. Claude writes the other version, visitors pick, the winner ships. Tell Claude to check tomorrow. You never open an experiment tool.
It tells you instantly whether it’s yours.
Not a website builder. There’s nothing to build.
A builder is a job. Ikiro hands the job to Claude. No template picker, no interview, no account wall: you type a name, the site is live, then you paste a prompt and it starts testing itself. While the builders are still asking for your email, yours is already running A/B tests.
Type a name. That’s your job done.
yourname.ikiro.io is live in seconds, before you’ve signed in. The address never changes — not when you grow, not when you upgrade, not ever.
live in secondsClaude does the building
Connect Claude in the browser, or Claude Code / Cursor on your computer. It reads your logos, decks, and photos and builds the site from what you already have — nothing to drag into place.
the AI you already pay forPublishing is a push
The site is a folder of plain files. Your agent edits, git push, live. You never touch a page editor.
git push → liveUnlimited A/B testing. Paste. Free. Forever.
A/B testing is hard, tedious, and expensive. Usually all three. Yours is a prompt you paste into Claude. Visitors pick. The winner ships. $0.

Unlimited A/B testing. You paste a prompt. It’s free.
Paste this into Claude. Your site starts A/B testing.
Claude started this. Visitors pick. The winner ships.
You are in this test. Refreshing will not show you the other line — assignment sticks. Claude wrote the challenger. There was no experiment dashboard.
Tell Claude to check the stats tomorrow and run the next one. That loop is already yours. Hard, tedious, expensive is the old product.

Tell Claude to check tomorrow. That’s the loop.
The test is live. Ask Claude to read your stats in the morning, ship the winner, and start the next one. You already pay for that. You can do it today.
A version that does it unattended — without you asking — is coming. You don’t need it to start. Paste the prompt.
you: check the homepage test and start the next one. claude: challenger is winning. shipping it. next: shorter sub vs current. you: (already doing something else)
Want a human on it anyway?
Ikiro can run the loop with a person reviewing every step. Seats are few. You don’t need one to start testing today.
Ask for a seat — support@ikiro.io// no Ikiro AI meter runs on this you: add a pricing page and link it from the nav agent: created content/pricing.html updated site.config pushed — live in seconds
Stop paying for AI twice
AI site builders run the model and bill you for it. Lovable meters every plan in credits — $25/mo for Pro, $50/mo for Business — and when the credits run out, so do your edits.
Ikiro never meters your edits, because Ikiro doesn’t run the model. The brain is Claude, Cursor, whoever you already pay — in the browser or on your computer. Your edits cost Ikiro nothing, so they cost you nothing. Ever.
Connect Claude once. Then every test, every page, every rewrite is a paste. No second AI bill.
Search engines see your site, not a JavaScript shell
AI builders ship client-rendered shells — a div and a script tag, blank until JavaScript runs. Ikiro publishes clean, semantic, static HTML: every heading crawlable, every link real, every page readable with JavaScript switched off. SEO-correct by construction, not by prompt.
<body>
<div id="root"></div>
<script src="/bundle-9f2c1.js"></script>
</body>
<!-- that’s it. that’s the page. -->
<body>
<header>
<h1>Mara Lin — ceramics</h1>
</header>
<nav>
<a href="/shop">Shop</a>
<a href="/about">About</a>
</nav> …
Don’t take our word for it — view source on any published Ikiro page.
Nobody holds your site hostage
The AI-builder category runs on monthly subscriptions. Ikiro charges $9.95 a year — a year, not a month — and even that comes with an exit built in.
Their prices from their own pricing pages, August 9, 2026 — Lovable and Unbounce shown month-to-month (annual billing is cheaper on both), Linktree shown at its annual rate (varies by region). Ikiro’s applies only after a custom domain or 100,000 visitors a month — otherwise it’s $0.
Stop paying? The site keeps serving. Cross a paid line and never pay a cent — new experiments stop; the site and its stats do not. Your site never goes dark over a bill. Notify, grace, ask.
And you can leave with the whole thing. Every page, every style — plain files you read, copy, mirror, and take anywhere. Not an export button. Not a $49-a-year download tier. Not a code dump you now have to operate. The folder is the site.
A page is a file, so pages are unlimited — start with a bio link, grow into a shop, a blog, a booking page, all at the address you started with. Ikiro renders, serves, and hosts. The source stays yours. The exit door is exactly why you’ll stay.

Free means free, not crippled
One test decides what’s free: does it cost us anything to provide? If not, you don’t pay for it.
Free forever, no credit card. Five sites means five businesses — pages are unlimited within each.
Fast hosting at yourname.ikiro.io. Your address never changes.
Not a 7-day teaser, not a paid add-on. Your traffic and click stats stay free for the life of the site.
Yes, still free down here. Paste a prompt. That’s the loop. Not the paywall.
Bringing your agent never costs extra and never will. No meter, no credits, no cap from us.
The free tier is metered, not crippled. Crossing a limit never breaks a live site.
$9.95 a year per site, and exactly two things trigger it: attaching a custom domain, or crossing 100,000 visitors a month. It also removes the badge. Crossing that line never breaks your site — it keeps serving, always. Notify, grace, ask.
The free tier is self-serve — no human support — and every published free site carries a small Ikiro badge; $9.95 removes it.

It tells you instantly whether it’s yours.
