Hostinger AI vs Aura

Short answer: choose Hostinger AI for budget sites where low cost and bundled hosting are the priority. Choose Aura for single landing pages, and teams that want to hand designs to Figma. If what you need is a website that looks professionally designed, neither is built for that: Orlume is.

Hostinger AI and Aura, reviewed honestly

Hostinger AI

Hostinger · Kaunas, founded 2004

Free plan
No free plan; a 14-day free trial includes the AI builder, then a paid plan is required.
Paid plans
Premium is $2.99/mo on a 48-month prepaid plan ($143.52 upfront), renewing at $10.99/mo, with 3 sites and 250 one-time AI credits.

Known for

  • AI Builder: one product since August 2026, with a conversational Agentic mode and a drag-and-drop mode.
  • AI SEO Assistant: suggests keywords, titles, descriptions and alt text.
  • AI Writer and AI Logo Maker inside the editor.

What it does well

  • One of the lowest entry prices of any hosted AI site builder.
  • Hosting, a first-year domain and email mailboxes are included.
  • AI covers copy, SEO metadata and logo, not only the first draft.

Where it falls short

  • The low price needs four years paid upfront, and renewal is several times higher.
  • AI credits are a one-time allowance, not monthly, and reviewers report them running out fast.
  • Reviewers report limited design control: switching templates means rebuilding the site.

Aura

Aura · made by Meng To, creator of Design+Code

Free plan
Browse and remix templates and export HTML for personal use; AI prompts need a 3-day trial or credits.
Paid plans
Pro is $25/mo billed monthly ($12.50/mo yearly) for 120 prompts a month, a custom domain, commercial use and Figma export.

Known for

  • Exports HTML, Tailwind CSS and JavaScript, and Figma files on paid plans.
  • Template remixing: copy the prompts and design specs behind any template.
  • Built-in publishing with a CMS, custom domains and SEO metadata.

What it does well

  • Standard HTML and Tailwind export, with no proprietary format.
  • Figma export suits designers who keep refining by hand.
  • Fixed, published prompt caps make the monthly cost predictable.

Where it falls short

  • The free plan includes no AI generation.
  • It builds landing pages and marketing sites only: no logins, data or app logic.
  • It produces HTML pages, not a React or Next.js project.

The third option

Why designers pick Orlume over both

  1. 01

    Orlume's design pass produces a distinctive layout rather than a lightly customised template.

  2. 02

    Orlume builds a React and Next.js project, which is easier to grow into a full product site than exported HTML.

  3. 03

    Dream Mode builds an animated, custom bento grid with real hierarchy and an embedded product video in one click.
