Can I use SeaText on Tilda’s free plan?
No. The Free plan does not allow you to add custom JavaScript, which is required for SeaText. You need at least the Personal plan to insert the SeaText snippet into the site’s head section.
SeaText works by inserting a small JavaScript snippet into the <head> of every page. Tilda’s Free plan does not provide a way to edit the head tag, so the snippet cannot be added.
| Plan | Custom Code Access | SeaText Compatibility |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Not available – no "Edit code inside HEAD tag" option | Cannot install SeaText |
| Personal | Available – edit head tag via Site Settings | SeaText can be installed |
| Business | Available – full code editing | SeaText can be installed |
Conditional recommendation: If you have a small budget and low traffic, start with Tilda Personal ($15/month) and SeaText’s free trial. If you have high traffic and need advanced analytics, Tilda Business ($30/month) may fit better. SeaText works the same on both plans. Check with Tilda for current pricing.
Why custom code matters for SeaText
SeaText’s AI agents run in the browser. Without the script, none of the dynamic headline rewrites, translation, or bot‑refund features can activate. The script is a small piece of JavaScript that loads on every page. It reads the visitor’s source, keyword, and intent. Then it rewrites headlines, offers, and calls to action in real time. Tilda’s Free plan blocks all custom code. So you cannot add the script. The Personal plan unlocks the head‑tag editor. That is the minimum requirement.
Tilda plan overview
- Free ($0/month): Limited blocks, no head‑tag editing, no custom JavaScript. Best for personal projects or testing Tilda’s builder.
- Personal (approx. $15/month): Ability to add custom HTML/JS via the "Edit code inside HEAD tag" field. Also includes a custom domain, 500 MB storage, and 50 pages.
- Business (approx. $30/month): All Personal features plus advanced integrations, 1 GB storage, 100 pages, and priority support. SeaText works the same on Personal and Business.

Cost comparison: Tilda + SeaText
SeaText is a separate subscription. You pay for Tilda and SeaText each month. SeaText offers a free 1-month pilot trial. After that, plans start at $49/month. The total monthly cost for Tilda Personal + SeaText is about $64/month. For Tilda Business + SeaText, about $79/month.
Example ROI math: Suppose your site gets 10,000 visitors per month. Your current conversion rate is 2% (200 conversions). SeaText claims a +25% conversion lift. That would add 50 conversions. If each conversion is worth $50, that’s $2,500 extra revenue per month. The combined cost is $64. ROI is positive. Even with a 5% lift, you gain 10 conversions worth $500. That still covers the cost. Your actual results may vary.
How to install SeaText on Tilda
There are two methods: site-wide (head tag) or per-page (T123 block).
Method 1: Site-wide head-tag insertion
- Copy the JavaScript snippet from your SeaText account (under Integration).
- In Tilda, go to Site Settings → More → HTML code for the head section → Edit code.
- Paste the snippet into the field labeled "Edit code inside HEAD tag".
- Click Save and Publish your site.
Method 2: Per-page T123 block insertion
- In Tilda, navigate to the specific page you want to edit.
- Click the "+" icon to add a new block. Choose the block named T123 (Other → T123).
- In the block editor, click "Content".
- Paste the SeaText JavaScript snippet into the HTML editor.
- Click "Save and Close", then Publish the page.
Both methods work. The site-wide method covers all pages. The per-page method works only for that specific page.
Activation and account linking
After publishing, you must activate the AI. Visit your website or refresh it several times. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This triggers the AI to link the script to your SeaText account. Then wait at least five minutes. Refresh the SeaText dashboard. You should see your website name next to the SeaText logo. This confirms the connection is active. If you do not see it, repeat the visit and wait.
Limitations and restrictions
- Separate accounts per domain: Each SeaText account is linked to one primary URL. If you need SeaText on multiple Tilda sites, you need a separate account for each domain.
- No localhost or development URLs: SeaText blocks access from localhost and other insecure domains. Use a real, live domain.
- Dynamic development domains may not work: Some services generate temporary URLs (e.g., Netlify previews). SeaText may not reliably associate traffic with your account on such domains.
- Removing the code: If you remove the snippet from the head tag or T123 block, SeaText stops working immediately. You can re-add it anytime.
Decision framework
- Do you need custom JavaScript? If yes, Free plan is insufficient.
- What is your budget for Tilda? Compare Personal vs Business pricing on Tilda’s site. Personal is cheaper and sufficient for SeaText.
- Will SeaText’s AI agents deliver measurable lift for your traffic? Estimate potential conversion lift based on your current traffic and average order value.
- Consider the free trial: SeaText offers a 1-month pilot trial. Use it to test with Tilda Personal before committing.
Common pitfalls
- Trying to add the snippet on a Free site – the editor will not show the head‑tag field.
- Skipping the 40‑second activation step – the AI stays inert until the site is visited long enough.
- Using a development domain like
localhost– SeaText restricts such URLs for security. - Not waiting five minutes after activation – the account link may not appear immediately.
- Adding the snippet to only one page but expecting it to work site-wide – use the head-tag method for all pages.
FAQ
- Do I need a SeaText account before upgrading Tilda?
- Yes. You must have an active SeaText account to obtain the JavaScript snippet.
- Can I test SeaText on a free site before upgrading?
- No. Without head‑tag access the script cannot be placed, so testing isn’t possible.
- What is the minimum Tilda plan for SeaText?
- The Personal plan, which unlocks custom code editing.
- Will upgrading to Business give me extra SeaText benefits?
- No. SeaText works the same on Personal and Business. Business adds more Tilda-specific features (e.g., extra storage, priority support) but does not change SeaText’s functionality.
- Can I use SeaText on multiple Tilda sites?
- Yes, but you need a separate SeaText account for each Tilda site. Each account is linked to one primary domain.
- What happens if I remove the SeaText code from my Tilda site?
- SeaText stops working immediately. Your site returns to its normal state. You can re-add the code later.
- How long does the upgrade process take?
- Upgrading in Tilda is instant; the code becomes editable immediately after payment.
- Does SeaText work with Tilda’s Business plan’s advanced integrations?
- Yes, but the integration method is the same as Personal. The script is placed in the head tag. Business integrations do not interfere.
