The problem

AI website builders are broken

The industry sells convenience but takes away your freedom. Here's what every other platform does wrong.

Total vendor lock-in

8 out of 10 AI website builders offer zero code export. If you leave, you rebuild from scratch. Your design, your content, your work — trapped forever.

80% of builders have no export

AI privacy black box

No competitor discloses which AI models process your data. Your business content flows through unknown AI pipelines with zero transparency or control.

0 competitors offer BYOK

Hidden costs & price shocks

Hostinger: $2.99/mo promo, renews at $10.99 (167% increase). Wix: $20-80/mo in hidden extras. Credit-based AI systems with buried limits.

Up to 267% renewal increase

Generic, template results

Most platforms shuffle pre-made blocks. Output looks identical across sites. AI generates shallow content that needs complete rewriting to feel authentic.

Sites look "AI-generated"

No code access

Durable: zero custom HTML/CSS/JS. Framer: React hydration, no export. Wix: proprietary format. You can't inspect, modify, or own the actual code of your site.

Most platforms: code is hidden

Opaque AI costs

No platform shows what AI actually costs per generation. Credit systems hide real pricing. You have no idea if you're paying 2x or 10x the actual AI cost.

Zero cost transparency
Killer features

What makes Otack Pages different

Not incremental improvements. Fundamental differences in how an AI website builder should work.

Only Otack Pages

Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)

Use your own API keys for Claude, GPT-4o, or Gemini. Keys are encrypted in your browser with AES-256-GCM before reaching the server. Zero-knowledge architecture — we never see your keys in plaintext.

Browser-side encryption via Web Crypto API with PBKDF2 key derivation (100,000 iterations). Your keys, your costs, your privacy.
Only Otack Pages

CMS Export with Admin Panel

Export your AI-generated site as a fully functional CMS (Otack CMS) with a working admin panel, visual editor, content management, and form handling. Not just static files — a complete, self-hosted CMS.

18-step packaging pipeline: HTML → CMS format conversion, asset bundling, admin SPA, form attribute conversion, setup script. ~4-6 MB ready-to-deploy package.
Only Otack Pages

Choose Your AI Model

Claude Opus with extended thinking for deep reasoning. GPT-4o for speed. Gemini for cost efficiency. You choose the model per generation — no competitors let you pick.

14+ AI models supported. Transparent per-token pricing. No markup on AI costs — you pay providers directly through your own key.
Only Otack Pages

Transparent Token Economy

See exactly what each generation costs in real dollars. Per-model pricing breakdown. No hidden credit systems, no "AI generations left" counters. Real costs, real transparency.

Generation log tracks: provider, model, input/output tokens, estimated cost. Budget dashboard with exchange rate caching (NBU API).
Rare feature

3 Export Modes: ZIP + SFTP + CMS

Download as a clean ZIP. Deploy directly to your server via SFTP. Or export as a full CMS. Most builders offer zero export. CodeDesign.ai offers ZIP only, starting at $49/mo.

SFTP supports password and SSH key auth with encrypted credential storage. All exports include responsive design, CSS variables, and i18n translations.
Rare feature

Conversational AI Discovery

Not a text prompt box. A 3-5 question qualifying chat that discovers your business needs, brand identity, goals, tone, and industry before generating anything. Context-aware generation, not random output.

Structured JSON extraction: brand_name, business_type, pages, goal, tone, industry. Automatic completion detection. Fallback algorithmic flow for free users.
Rare feature

AI-Powered Multi-Language

Translate your entire site to up to 5 languages with AI. Not machine translation — contextual, natural-sounding translation that understands your brand voice and industry terminology.

Only Otack Pages

Built-in Payments in CMS Export

Export your site as Otack CMS and get a ready-to-use payment system. Product catalog, checkout page, order management — all included. Three payment providers: WayForPay, Monobank, and Stripe.

Mini e-commerce without the complexity. Your client adds products in the admin panel, enables a payment provider, and starts accepting payments. No Shopify subscription. No third-party plugins.
Rare feature

Real-Time Collaboration

Invite coworkers to edit projects together. Optimistic locking prevents edit conflicts. Add collaborators via email or public hash. Shared workspace, team-ready.

How it works

From idea to live site in minutes

Four steps. No templates to browse. No design skills needed.

Connect your AI key

Paste your Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini API key. It's encrypted in your browser before reaching our server. We never see it in plaintext.

Answer a few questions

Our qualifying chat learns about your business: what you do, your brand, your goals, your tone. 3-5 smart questions, not a long form.

AI generates your site

Block-by-block generation: hero, features, pricing, FAQ, testimonials. Semantic HTML with real content, stock photos, and responsive design.

Edit, export, own

Refine in the visual editor. Then download as ZIP, deploy via SFTP, or export as a full CMS with admin panel. Your code. Your server. Your site.

Privacy architecture

How your AI keys are handled

The fundamental difference between Otack Pages and every other AI website builder.

Otack Pages (BYOK)

1You enter your AI API key in the browser
2Key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using your master password (PBKDF2, 100K iterations)
3Only the encrypted blob reaches the server
4Server sends encrypted blob back; browser decrypts for AI calls
5AI provider receives your key directly. Server never sees plaintext.

Everyone else

1You type a prompt or answer questions
2Your content goes to their server in plaintext
3Their server calls an undisclosed AI model with their key
4You don't know which model, what data is sent, or what's stored
5Zero transparency. Zero control. Zero privacy guarantees.

Honest comparison

What about v0, Lovable, and Google?

These are powerful tools. But they solve a different problem. Here's an honest breakdown.

v0.dev by Vercel
AI UI generator for developers
Generates React/Next.js components and pages with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui. Excellent for developers who need to accelerate UI prototyping. Uses a composite AI model (Claude, Grok, Gemini mix). Outputs standard Next.js code that can be exported via ZIP or GitHub.

The catch: It's a developer tool. You need to know React, understand component architecture, and handle deployment yourself. A small business owner can't use this to get a website live.
Free tier $5 credits/mo Paid from $20/mo Output React/Next.js Self-host Yes (dev needed) Lock-in Moderate Target Developers
Lovable.dev
AI full-stack app builder
The closest to a direct competitor. Generates full-stack React + Vite + TypeScript apps with Supabase backend. GitHub auto-sync, self-hosting supported. Formerly GPT Engineer. Uses Gemini 3 Flash by default.

The catch: It builds web applications, not traditional websites. Output is a React SPA that needs a Node.js runtime. Credits deplete fast — 100/mo on the $25 Pro plan often lasts 1-2 days of active work. Backend is locked to Supabase.
Free tier 5 credits/day Paid from $25/mo Output React SPA + Supabase Self-host Yes (via GitHub) Lock-in Low-Moderate Target Founders / Indie
Google AI Studio
AI app builder (Antigravity)
Google's entry via "Antigravity" agent — generates full-stack apps with Firebase backend, Cloud Firestore, and Firebase Auth. Next.js + TypeScript output. Backed by Gemini.

The catch: Requires a Google Cloud Platform billing account. Free tier was gutted in March 2026 (from 250 to 20 daily requests — a 92% cut). Deep Firebase/GCP lock-in. Confusing product landscape (Firebase Studio being sunset). Not for non-developers.

The honest take

v0, Lovable, and Google AI Studio are impressive engineering tools. If you're a developer building a React app or SaaS MVP, they might be exactly what you need. But they're solving a different problem than Otack Pages.

  • v0 generates React components — you still need to assemble, configure, and deploy them. It's a productivity accelerator for developers, not a website builder.
  • Lovable builds full-stack apps with Supabase — powerful, but overkill for a restaurant site or freelancer portfolio. The output is a React SPA that costs more to host and has worse SEO than static HTML.
  • Google AI Studio is deeply tied to Firebase/GCP. Powerful infrastructure, but requires a billing account and developer expertise. The free tier was cut 92% in March 2026.
  • Otack Pages generates semantic HTML that works on any $3/mo hosting. Your client can manage the site through Otack CMS without touching code. No Node.js runtime. No cloud platform lock-in. No React build pipeline. Just HTML, CSS, and a working website.

Different tools for different needs. We don't compete with developer tools — we serve the people who need a website, not a codebase.

"The AI website builder market is worth $1.5B and growing 15% annually — yet not a single major player lets you bring your own AI key, choose your model, or export your site as a CMS. Otack Pages is built for the people who noticed."

FAQ

Common questions

What does "Bring Your Own Key" mean?
You use your own API key from Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT-4o), or Google (Gemini). Your key is encrypted in your browser with AES-256-GCM before it reaches our server. We never see it in plaintext. This means: you control your AI costs, you choose your model, and your data goes directly to the AI provider you trust.
Do I need an API key to use Otack Pages?
For AI-powered generation, yes — you need an API key from at least one supported provider (Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini). However, Otack Pages also offers a free algorithmic generation mode that creates sites without AI, using structured questions and templates. No API key required for that flow.
What exactly is CMS Export?
CMS Export converts your AI-generated site into a fully functional Otack CMS — a PHP-based content management system with an admin panel, visual editor, form handling, and content management. You upload it to any PHP hosting and your client can manage the site independently, without Otack Pages. It's a real CMS, not just static files.
How much does AI generation actually cost?
You pay AI providers directly through your own key. Typical costs: a full multi-page site generation with Claude Haiku costs roughly $0.05-0.15 USD. With GPT-4o, around $0.10-0.30. With Claude Opus (thinking mode), $0.50-2.00 for the highest quality. Otack Pages tracks every token and shows you the exact cost — no markup, no hidden fees.
Can I use Otack Pages for client work?
Yes. Generate a site, customize it in the editor, then export as a CMS and deploy to your client's hosting. Your client gets a full admin panel to manage content. You can also use SFTP deploy for quick updates. The collaboration feature lets you add team members to projects.
What happens if Otack Pages shuts down?
Nothing. You already have your site. ZIP exports are standard HTML/CSS that works anywhere. CMS exports are self-contained PHP applications. SFTP deployments live on your server. This is the fundamental difference: your site exists independently of our platform. With Wix, Framer, or Durable — if they shut down, your site is gone.
Is there e-commerce support?
Yes — the CMS export includes a built-in Payments module with product catalog, checkout pages, and order management. Three payment providers are supported: WayForPay, Monobank, and Stripe. Your client adds products in the admin panel and starts accepting payments — no Shopify subscription or third-party plugins needed. It's not a full-scale online store with carts and categories, but it's perfect for service businesses, freelancers, or anyone selling a handful of products or services.
