What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

What really differentiates WordPress.com from other competitors is the fact that it's still the most affordable and easy-to-use website builder out there. It's a go-to for everyone looking for a reliable, flexible, and user-friendly solution that won't hurt your wallet.

It's not completely a no-code solution thus if you want to customize and personalize your website, keep in mind that prior programming knowledge may be required.
