A website project means any website the license is activated on - whether it is launched, unfinished, or later discontinued. Licenses are project-based and can’t be transferred to or reused for another project. Local development sites (e.g. with Local) don’t count toward your project limit.

No. AI Mode is completely optional. You can build your entire website with the Gridder, or use AI Mode only for the parts that need something more custom.
Squarespace, Framer and Wix charge you every month forever. Lay Theme is a one-time purchase. After that, you only pay for webhosting.
For example, one Single license at €59 plus Netcup Webhosting 1000 at €2.26/month comes to about €195 over 5 years, excluding VAT and assuming prices stay unchanged. Hosting is paid yearly, and the example assumes you use the included domain. Extra domains or services cost more. Our five-year comparison explains the assumptions; our hosting guide helps you compare our recommended webhosts.
Your website stays under your control. You can move it to any webhost at any time, install any WordPress plugin and modify the code. A website built with Squarespace, Framer or Wix stays inside their platform. Moving it somewhere else can be difficult or impossible.
