Why former Zyro users are looking again
The friction points that show up after the migration, not during it.
The bargain ended
$2.61 a month was the reason many people chose Zyro. Renewals on the successor plan run to $25.99.
You were moved, not asked
Sites transferred automatically to a product nobody on them had selected.
Still no email marketing
Zyro never had it, and the platform it became does not add it.
The product can be retired again
A well-reviewed builder with paying customers was discontinued for brand reasons. That can happen twice.
What Zyro does well
- Among the cheapest builders that included real e-commerce
- Grid editor with no template lock-in and a separate mobile view
- Early AI writer, business name and slogan tools
- Blog with scheduling and multiple authors
Where Zyro falls short
- Discontinued in April 2024 and no longer purchasable
- No app marketplace and thin documentation
- No evidence of built-in email marketing
- Customers were migrated to Hostinger without being asked

Grigora vs Zyro: feature by feature
A category-by-category breakdown, pricing, AI, design, e-commerce, email, SEO, performance, and support.
What actually happened to Zyro
Depends on your needsWorth stating plainly, because the internet is vague about it. Hostinger renamed the product to Hostinger Website Builder in February 2023. On 6 February 2024 it permanently deleted Zyro accounts that had no active subscription. On 5 April 2024 it announced that all sales and services of Zyro were discontinued. Paying customers were migrated automatically, with continuity described in Hostinger’s migration notice and three bonus months added to each plan.
| Feature | Grigora | Zyro |
|---|---|---|
| Product still sold | Yes | No, since April 2024 |
| Did live sites go down | Not applicable | No, migration was seamless |
| Were accounts deleted | Not applicable | Only those with no subscription |
| Compensation | Not applicable | 3 bonus months per plan |
Takeaway: Credit where it is due. As shutdowns go, this one protected customers.
The price you lost
Fit: ZyroThe honest category, and Zyro wins it. Zyro's Website plan was $2.61 a month and its Online Store plan $8.01. Grigora starts at $12. Nobody should pretend otherwise. The catch is that those Zyro prices are not on sale anywhere, and the renewal terms now depend on the Hostinger plan and account.
| Feature | Grigora | Zyro |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest plan when sold | $12/mo | $2.61/mo |
| Cheapest store plan when sold | $12/mo, store included | $8.01/mo |
| Available to buy today | Yes | No |
| Renewal on the successor plan | $12/mo | $10.99 to $25.99 |
Takeaway: Historical Zyro discounts are no longer purchasable. Compare a current Hostinger quote with Grigora’s published plan.
Newsletter & email
Fit: GrigoraNo Zyro feature listing we could find included built-in email marketing, and current Hostinger email products should be evaluated separately. Grigora includes the subscriber list, the campaigns and the automations, sized by plan.
| Feature | Grigora | Zyro |
|---|---|---|
| Email marketing included | 2,500 to 25,000 subscribers | No evidence of it |
| Campaign builder | Included | Third-party |
| Automation and segmentation | Included | Third-party |
| Professional inbox | From $5/mailbox | Hostinger sells it separately |
Takeaway: A Zyro site that mails its customers was always paying somebody else for it.
Selling
Depends on your needsZyro's store was real: a catalogue with inventory and order management, on a plan that cost $8.01. Grigora's store is on every plan with no platform commission, but it starts at $12.
| Feature | Grigora | Zyro |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue and inventory | Yes | Yes |
| Order management | Yes | Yes |
| Store on the entry plan | Yes | No |
| Platform commission | 0% | 0% |
Takeaway: Comparable capability. Grigora includes it lower down the range.
Blog & CMS
Fit: GrigoraZyro's blog was better than most cheap builders: scheduling, multiple authors, categories. Grigora's CMS adds directories, moderated comments with admin replies, and an AI writer you direct.
| Feature | Grigora | Zyro |
|---|---|---|
| Blog with scheduling | Yes | Yes |
| Multiple authors | Yes | Yes |
| Directories and collections | Built in | No |
| Comments and moderation | Included, with admin replies | No |
Takeaway: Zyro published. Grigora publishes and builds an audience around it.
Design & editing
Depends on your needsZyro's grid editor with no template lock-in and its separate mobile view were genuinely good, and its AI writer and name generator were early for their time. Grigora generates a design direction from a description and ships website templates.
| Feature | Grigora | Zyro |
|---|---|---|
| Templates | Template library | 100+ |
| Drag and drop with no lock-in | Block editor | Yes |
| Separate mobile editing view | Responsive controls | Yes |
| AI site generation | Yes | AI text tools only |
Takeaway: Zyro edited well. Grigora starts the page for you.
SEO
Depends on your needsZyro covered the basics: metadata, sitemaps, Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Grigora adds schema controls, IndexNow submission and free tools.
| Feature | Grigora | Zyro |
|---|---|---|
| Meta and sitemap controls | Yes | Yes |
| Analytics integrations | Yes | Yes |
| IndexNow submission | Yes | No |
| Free SEO tools suite | Free tools | No |
Takeaway: Compare the published SEO controls with your actual content and workflow. Test representative pages for crawlability, metadata and performance; platform features do not guarantee rankings or AI citations.
Platform risk
Fit: GrigoraThis is the part worth thinking about. Zyro was a well-reviewed product with paying customers, and it was still discontinued because its owner preferred a different brand. Anyone choosing a replacement should ask what happens to their site if the same decision is made again.
| Feature | Grigora | Zyro |
|---|---|---|
| Product discontinued by its owner | No | Yes, April 2024 |
| Content export | Yes | Limited |
| Migration handled for you | Not applicable | Yes, to Hostinger |
| Choice in where you landed | Not applicable | None |
Takeaway: The migration was painless. Nobody was asked whether they wanted it.

Is Grigora the right Zyro alternative for you?
Where each option is the right one.
Best Zyro alternative at renewal time
The moment the Hostinger renewal price lands is the moment the old Zyro bargain stops being the comparison.

Staying put is right if…
You are content on the migrated plan and want hosting, domain and builder from one vendor.
Which one is right for you?
Choose Grigora if…
- You want a newsletter and store in one plan
- You want to compare the full subscription and renewal terms
- You want directories and moderated comments
- You would rather pick your platform than inherit one

How to move a former Zyro site to Grigora
Your site now lives in Hostinger Website Builder. The content comes across by hand or by export, and the design is regenerated, which the AI draft makes quick. Before moving everything, test a representative content export and check supported import formats. Keep media backups, reconcile product variants and retain subscriber consent and unsubscribe records; an export does not guarantee a direct import.
- 1
Check what you renew at
Open your Hostinger billing and find the renewal rate on the plan your Zyro subscription became.
- 2
Export what you can
Pull products, blog posts and contacts out of Hostinger Website Builder, and copy page text you want to keep.
- 3
Start your Grigora site
Describe the business in a sentence and the AI generates a site with its own design.
- 4
Rebuild the store and start the list
Import products into Grigora Commerce, connect Stripe or Razorpay, and import contacts into the newsletter.
- 5
Point your domain and redirect
Keep the old service active while you test the new site. Match existing URL paths or configure permanent redirects, verify canonicals and the sitemap, and test forms and checkout on mobile. Change DNS after these checks, then monitor indexing and errors before cancelling services you no longer need. Rankings may change during a migration.
What happened to Zyro
Zyro is not a builder you can sign up for any more. Hostinger, which owned it, renamed the product Hostinger Website Builder in February 2023, deleted Zyro accounts that had no active subscription on 6 February 2024, and confirmed in April 2024 that all sales and services of Zyro were discontinued.
The migration went well
This is not a story about lost websites. Paying customers were moved automatically, sites stayed online throughout, plans transferred at the equivalent price level, and every migrated subscription received three bonus months. Anyone holding several Zyro plans had their sites consolidated onto the one that expired last. As product shutdowns go, it was handled properly.
The price did not survive
What ended was the deal. Zyro sold a website plan for $2.61 a month and a full online store for $8.01. Those numbers are gone. The Hostinger plans that replaced them renew between $10.99 and $25.99, which is a different market entirely, and it is the number former Zyro customers actually meet at renewal.
Nobody was asked
The other thing worth noticing is that no Zyro customer chose Hostinger Website Builder. They chose Zyro, and were moved. That is a reasonable moment to ask whether the platform you ended up on is the one you would pick today.
How Grigora compares
Grigora is a website, a CMS, a newsletter and a store in one subscription, which makes it a wider product than Zyro was and a steadier one than a brand that can be retired.
Compare the current renewal quote and included features
Grigora Starter is $12/month billed annually and includes a managed site, CMS, newsletter for 2,500 subscribers and store with 0% platform commission. Compare this with the actual renewal quote in your Hostinger account, including remaining prepaid time, domain costs and required features.
Where Zyro still wins
Zyro’s historical Website plan was $2.61/month, while its store plans cost more. Those offers are no longer available. If entry price is the priority, compare current Hostinger introductory terms and the renewal quote with Grigora’s current rates.
