Seedly Sites vs Duda 2026

Own your platform, don't rent it.

Q: Does Seedly Sites have site quotas like Duda?

No. One license covers unlimited sites, unlike Duda's tier-based structure.

Q: Is Seedly Sites cheaper than Duda over time?

Duda charges an account plan plus additional published sites. Seedly Sites has a one-time license and no per-site license fee, plus your own infrastructure and provider costs. Compare at your actual site count.

Q: Can I self-host Seedly Sites?

Yes. You run it on infrastructure you control, which is what distinguishes it from hosted platforms like Duda.

Q: What does it cost to operate Seedly Sites?

The $1,199 license is a one-time purchase. You also pay for your own Railway app and database, Cloudflare hosting and media storage, email service, and any AI usage. Costs vary with your setup and traffic.

Q: How do I move a client site?

The porting workflow creates drafts and a parity report. Review the pages, forms, media, and URLs, then deploy when ready. Redirect changed URLs where appropriate, but no migration can guarantee search rankings.

If you build client websites for a living, the comparison that matters between Duda and Seedly Sites is not just price, it is what you get and what you keep. Straight about both, including where Duda wins.

Per-site quotas, or one license.

Duda is built for agencies and offers site export on Agency and higher plans. Its export includes published HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and assets, but omits or disables features such as stores, dynamic pages, and forms.

Seedly Sites has no site quota or per-site license fee. You own the source and pay for the infrastructure and services you use.

Own it, do not rent it.

Duda is built for agencies and bundles several sites into its Agency plan. Additional sites add a charge; check its export scope if portability matters to you.

Seedly Sites uses one source license across tenants, with a shared CMS and portable static output. You manage the infrastructure and service accounts yourself.

Moving off Duda? On your schedule.

You can rebuild client sites from Duda in batches and run Seedly Sites alongside it. Review each draft and point its domain across when ready. Your own infrastructure and provider costs begin when you provision them.

The porting tools create draft pages and a parity report. Review content, forms, media, and redirects before deployment. You can preserve or redirect URLs, but search rankings are never guaranteed through a migration.

The verdict.

Duda is one of the few hosted platforms built for agencies, and I respect that. It charges for the account and additional sites. You can export published site files, but the Duda platform and its dynamic features do not move with them.
