A Kotisivukone alternative with no setup fee
With Kotisivukone you build the pages yourself in an editor. With Kotisivukamu you describe your business and Kamu builds the site for you.
Kotisivukone is a pioneer of Finnish do-it-yourself websites. It has served Finnish entrepreneurs for a long time, and many businesses made their first site with it. The idea is traditional: you pick a look and build the pages yourself in a browser editor.
Kotisivukamu represents the next generation. Pages are not built by hand in an editor; the Kamu AI designs and implements the whole site for you. You describe your business or let Kamu read your old site, and about 30 minutes later you are looking at a finished proposal.
The difference shows in the result too. Kotisivukamu sites are static and compiled at publish time, so they load extremely fast and almost always get a perfect Google Lighthouse score.

Two Finnish services, two different eras
Both services are Finnish, so there is no difference there. The difference is in how the site gets made. Kotisivukone is built for a person who wants to make the pages themselves. Kotisivukamu is built AI-first, and Kamu edits the site directly at the code level. That is why you can, for example, send a photo over WhatsApp from a work site and ask Kamu to add it to your references.
Kotisivukone has since moved in the same direction: its main offering is now a site made for you, with the do-it-yourself editor as a separate product. The difference is pricing. A site made as a service costs €38-88/month + VAT plus a €1,100-2,200 setup fee, and is capped at six pages. With Kotisivukamu the ready-built site is included in the normal monthly price with no setup fee, no page cap, and you ask Kamu for changes in your own words. A small change typically costs €0.20-0.50 of Kamusaldo, of which Pro includes €10 a month.
Easy to switch
If you already have a site on Kotisivukone or elsewhere, let Kamu read it. Kamu picks up the texts, images and details from your old site and builds a modern, fresh-looking site from them. You see the finished proposal before deciding anything, and pay only once you are happy.
Analytics and AI visibility are part of it
Visitor analytics are included and running from the first day. They are cookieless: we set no tracking cookies and use no third-party trackers, so the site needs no consent banner and visitors have nothing to click away. You still see how many people came, where from and which pages hold their attention, in real time. In most other services analytics are bolted on with something like Google Analytics, and a cookie banner and consent management come with it.
The same goes for being found. The sites are static and semantic, and structured data (JSON-LD) is written in from the start, so Google and AI answers such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI overviews can make sense of the site without any plugins. This is what GEO, generative engine optimisation, amounts to, and it is largely the same work as good SEO: a fast page, a clear structure and machine-readable facts about the business. The dashboard shows whether the site is listed, and we help with the Google Business Profile too.
Which one suits you?
Kotisivukone suits you if you want a Finnish partner and are comfortable with project pricing: a setup fee plus a monthly fee, with a human team doing the work. If the site is a large one-off project, that is a sensible way to buy it.
Kotisivukamu fits if you do not want a separate setup fee or a page cap decided up front. The site is built for the same monthly price, and you ask Kamu for changes in your own words instead of each update being a new work order. A small change typically costs €0.20-0.50 of Kamusaldo.
Common questions
How is this different from Kotisivukone’s done-for-you service?
In both cases the site is built for you. The difference is the pricing and the scope: their service costs €38-88/mo plus VAT and a €1,100-2,200 setup fee, capped at six pages. With Kotisivukamu the build is part of the monthly price, there is no setup fee and no page cap.
Does the site need a cookie banner?
No. Kotisivukamu sites use no tracking cookies and no third-party trackers, so there is nothing to consent to and no banner to show. Visitor analytics are still included: traffic, sources and top pages in real time.
Will the site be found on Google and in AI search?
The sites are static and semantic, and structured data is written in from the start, so both search engines and AI answers can read the site as it is. The dashboard shows whether the site is indexed, and we help with the Google Business Profile too.
