Verdict

The call

WordPress and Jimdo Creator both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 74% of Jimdo Creator's written reviews are positive against 37% of WordPress's. Jimdo Creator also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). WordPress's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (22K vs 803). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
