What is GoDaddy Airo?
GoDaddy Airo is an AI-powered builder from GoDaddy that creates websites and web apps from a plain-language conversation. You describe what you need, and Airo AI Builder generates pages, a database, user management and business logic, then publishes the project with hosting, SSL, forms and analytics included. It is aimed at small business owners and entrepreneurs who want a working site or simple app without coding.
GoDaddy Airo connects to the rest of GoDaddy's products, so users can search for and register a domain, connect it to a published project and use marketing tools for campaigns, social posts and blog posts. Paid plans add online payments, bookings, a product catalog and third-party connectors. Advanced users can view and edit the generated code and sync projects with GitHub on the top plan. The service runs on monthly AI credits.

GoDaddy Airo FAQ
Is GoDaddy Airo free?
GoDaddy Airo has a free plan with 50 AI credits per month and unlimited preview sites and apps, with no credit card required. Publishing a live site needs a paid plan. Starter costs $19.99 per month billed monthly or $9.99 per month billed yearly, and includes one published site and 150 credits.
What is GoDaddy Airo used for?
GoDaddy Airo is used to build websites and simple web apps by describing them in a chat. Small businesses use it to launch a site with hosting and a domain, create marketing content and, on higher plans, take payments, bookings and product orders. It brings GoDaddy's domain and hosting services together with AI building.
How do GoDaddy Airo credits work?
Each Airo plan includes a monthly allowance of AI credits that are used when the AI builds or changes your project. Free includes 50, Starter 150, Professional 300 and Ultimate 750 per month. Unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle and do not roll over, and you can buy more if you run out.
GoDaddy Airo vs Wix: what's the difference?
GoDaddy Airo builds websites and simple apps mainly through conversation with AI, including a database and user management, and ties into GoDaddy domains and hosting. Wix is a mature visual website builder with a large app market and more manual design control. Airo suits users who prefer chatting to build, while Wix suits hands-on designers.
Can I use my own domain with GoDaddy Airo?
Yes. You can connect a domain you already own to any published Airo project or search for a new one through GoDaddy. Starter, Professional and Ultimate include one free domain for the first year when you buy a new annual plan, though the annual ICANN fee still applies.
