Our assessment in one line

The best engineering fit of any visual tool here. Plasmic renders into your own React or Next.js app, so pages stay fast and indexable, scoring 4.4 on speed and 4.3 on SEO and GEO, and code ownership at 4.3 is near the top because your repository never stops being yours. The rendering mode on that SEO axis is decided by your host codebase rather than by Plasmic, which is the honest way to read the score. The API mark of 3.2 is the one that needs explaining: the "Extended platform APIs", white labeling and embedding are Enterprise-only features with no published API reference and no published price, so a buyer below Enterprise cannot evaluate the programmable surface at all. Version history is tier limited too, from 14 to 180 days depending on plan. AI features are minor and the initial integration needs a developer for a day. If you have engineers and a marketing team who keep filing page-edit tickets, this pays for itself immediately.
