own.page and Kasbu go after the same person: someone who liked Bento.me's grid and needed a new home when Bento shut down on 13 February 2026. Both use cards you drag around instead of a vertical list, both are run by small independent teams and both have a free plan.
They differ in three places that matter: how much the free plan holds, how the paid plan is priced, and how fast the page loads. We checked own.page's pricing and homepage on 14 October 2026 and used our own speed test from August. Sources are at the end.
The bottom line
- Kasbu Free gives you 25 cards per profile, 3 pages, 2 profiles, all 36 card types, every font and background, 150 MB of storage, a QR code and a Wallet pass. Pro is $4.99 a month or $54.99 a year.
- own.page Free gives you 1 mini-website with unlimited links, 3 advanced widgets, 10 images per page and videos up to 10 MB, plus 7 days of analytics. Pro is $79.90 a year (shown as $6.65 a month) and adds 5 pages.
- Pick own.page if you want a small multi-page personal site with a minimal look and you'll pay for Pro.
- Pick Kasbu if you want a page full of players, videos, photos and maps on the free plan, or a cheaper Pro.
Free plan: Kasbu holds more
| Kasbu Free | own.page Free | |
|---|---|---|
| Rich cards or widgets | 25 cards, any of the 36 types | 3 advanced widgets, unlimited plain links |
| Photos and video | 150 MB of storage for any mix | 10 images per page, videos up to 10 MB |
| Pages | 3 grid pages per profile | 1 mini-website |
| Separate profiles | 2, each with its own username | Not listed |
| Design | Every color, background, background photo, the 14 fonts and 6 card materials | Themes, colors and backgrounds (advanced personalization is Pro) |
| Analytics | Totals for any date range, full detail for today | Today, yesterday and the last 7 days |
| QR code | Yes, plus an Apple Wallet and Google Wallet pass | QR code sharing |
| Platform branding | Small "Follow on Kasbu" button. Pro removes it | own.page branding. Pro removes it |
The widget limit is the one most people feel. On own.page, a Spotify player, a YouTube video and a GitHub card already use the three advanced widgets. On Kasbu the same three are 3 of your 25 cards, and you still have room for a map, a Calendly booking card and a photo gallery.
To be fair to own.page: its free analytics show you the last 7 days in detail, while Kasbu Free shows the full breakdown only for today and blurs the rest. If analytics on a budget is your priority, own.page's free tier is more generous there.
Price: a year of Pro costs 31% less on Kasbu
| Kasbu Pro | own.page Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Billed yearly | $54.99 | $79.90 |
| Billed monthly | $4.99 | Higher than yearly (own.page says yearly saves two months) |
| Pages | Unlimited | 5 |
| Rich cards | Unlimited | Unlimited advanced widgets |
| Storage | 30 GB | Unlimited images, videos up to 200 MB |
| Own domain | Yes | Yes |
| Analytics | 7, 30 and 90 days, all time, devices, countries and cities | Full history with custom date ranges |
| Removes branding | Yes | Yes |
| Also includes | Up to 10 profiles, grid embed on other sites, sound on video cards, dark map style | Priority support |
Speed: Kasbu starts answering 4.7 times faster
In August we timed both platforms 30 times each from the same connection. Time to first byte is how long the server takes to start sending the page, before any image or embed loads.
- Median: 163 ms on Kasbu, 774 ms on own.page.
- 95th percentile: 327 ms on Kasbu, 1,126 ms on own.page.
- In a real browser on a first visit, Kasbu's test page downloaded 551 KB in total against 1.48 MB for the own.page one.
That test measured one page per platform from one location in Mexico, so treat the full-load numbers as directional. The time to first byte is the server's own speed and doesn't depend on what's on the page. The full speed test has the method and the limits.
Grid and cards
Both grids feel like arranging apps on a phone. own.page says so itself: "as simple as arranging apps on your phone".
own.page lists widgets for YouTube, Spotify, GitHub, Calendly, newsletters and forms, and it lets you collect emails on the page. Its look is minimal and editorial, with fewer settings to get wrong.
Kasbu has 36 card types, all on the free plan:
- Music: Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and SoundCloud players that play on the page.
- Video: YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok and Loom.
- Work: GitHub, Figma, Canva, Behance, Flickr, Google Docs and an HTML/code card.
- Contact and booking: Calendly, Google Calendar, Typeform forms, WhatsApp, email and phone.
- Everything else: maps, file downloads, products with a price, a WiFi card, an experience card, an animated number, Giphy, X and Reddit posts, text and separators.
Desktop and mobile have separate layouts (8 columns and 4 columns), so you can put the map first on mobile and the photos first on desktop. Each card can be resized and given its own color and one of 6 materials, from flat fill to frosted glass.
Multi-page sites: own.page wins
This is own.page's clearest advantage. Pro gives you 5 customizable pages that link to each other, so you can build a home, a portfolio, a services page and a contact page under one address.
Kasbu's pages are tabs of the same profile: each one is its own grid, under the same name and avatar. Free includes 3 and Pro has no limit. If you want different audiences to see different grids (clients and fans, say), they work well. If you want something that reads like a small website with distinct sections, own.page Pro is structured for that. Kasbu's answer to "two identities" is a second profile, and free accounts get 2.
Who should use own.page
- You want a small multi-page site (5 pages on Pro) and you're happy to pay $79.90 a year.
- You prefer a minimal, editorial look with fewer settings.
- You want 7 days of analytics without paying.
- You want an email signup on the page itself.
Who should use Kasbu
- You want more than three rich cards without paying: players, videos, a map, a booking card.
- You're a musician, designer or developer who needs Spotify, Apple Music, Figma or GitHub next to each other.
- You want a QR code and a Wallet pass for events.
- You want the cheaper Pro: $54.99 a year against $79.90.
- Load speed matters to you, because most of your visitors arrive from Instagram or TikTok on mobile data.
