Frequently asked questions
Is Flocci Bento a website builder like Carrd?
No — it does not host websites on custom domains. It is a design studio for bento-format visuals you export or share via link; Carrd is the better pick for a live hosted page with forms.
Which is cheaper?
Both are inexpensive. Carrd Pro starts around $19/year for hosted sites; Flocci Bento is free to design with founder credits, and you spend INR-denominated credits only on exports and AI output.
Why choose a bento board over a one-page site?
When the deliverable is an image or PDF — a launch post, investor one-pager, recap, portfolio graphic — a designed board travels through feeds, chats and email in ways a website URL cannot.
Can I embed a Bento export in my Carrd site?
Yes — export your board as PNG and place it in any site builder, Carrd included. That pairing is common.
