What is Carrd?

Carrd Analytics adds a 90-day view; the changelog stays small and steady.

Carrd's visible record is short, terse entries. Deleted sites land in a Trash folder for three days, or fourteen on Pro, signup forms post directly to Resend, and Prefill Reply-To now fills the sender's name. November added a Leaves background pattern and a Last 90 days period in Carrd Analytics.

What is Breakdance?

Breakdance 3.0 is out: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can now build Breakdance sites.

Breakdance is a WordPress site builder. Version 3.0 left beta on October 26 with MCP support, so any MCP client such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can build and manage Breakdance sites, and RC 2 added a setup wizard that connects an agent in a few clicks. 3.0.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. The betas through September iterated on the MCP server and folded in the 2.8.2 security fix for the Design Library import flow.

Carrd vs Breakdance: editorial side-by-side

C
Carrd
DESIGN
5.0

Carrd Analytics adds a 90-day view; the changelog stays small and steady.

◆ Current state

Carrd's visible record is short, terse entries. Deleted sites land in a Trash folder for three days, or fourteen on Pro, signup forms post directly to Resend, and Prefill Reply-To now fills the sender's name. November added a Leaves background pattern and a Last 90 days period in Carrd Analytics.

◆ Where it's heading

The cadence is small polish on a mature builder: forms, dashboard conveniences and design assets. Nothing in the entries points to a structural change.

◆ Prediction

More small additions to forms and design patterns are the likely next entries; the changelog is too sparse to predict anything larger.

B6.3

Breakdance 3.0 is out: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can now build Breakdance sites.

◆ Current state

Breakdance is a WordPress site builder. Version 3.0 left beta on October 26 with MCP support, so any MCP client such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can build and manage Breakdance sites, and RC 2 added a setup wizard that connects an agent in a few clicks. 3.0.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. The betas through September iterated on the MCP server and folded in the 2.8.2 security fix for the Design Library import flow.

◆ Where it's heading

The vendor shipped the same agent control in Oxygen 6.2 the same day, so both builders now treat AI agents as a primary way to make sites. Next steps are likely patching the MCP server as real sites use it.

◆ Prediction

Expect 3.0.x patch releases fixing MCP server and WooCommerce issues; what follows agent control is unclear from the entries.
