Wonderly vs. Duda
Duda costs $19/month. Then you need the custom plan.
The pricing page shows agency plans starting at $19. What it doesn't show: the API access and integrations most agencies actually need are locked behind custom quotes that cost 10x more. Agencies discover this after onboarding dozens of clients. That's why we built Wonderly.

Why people switch
Three things Duda customers figure out after they've already committed.
-
Duda doesn't include phone, texting, or scheduling.
Duda is a website builder. It doesn't include a phone system, text messaging, appointment scheduling, or e-signature tools. If you need to call customers, send appointment reminders, or get contracts signed, you'll need to buy and connect separate software for each one.
Wonderly includes phone, SMS, scheduling, e-signature, and client portals built-in. One login, one bill, zero extra software to buy.
-
The real cost is $149–300/month for agencies.
Duda's $19/month plan covers one website. If you're managing client sites or need white-label features, you'll pay $149/month minimum for the White Label plan. Add more sites or team members, and costs climb fast—often $200–300/month once you're actually using it.
Wonderly is $395/month all-in for AI automation, CRM, phone, SMS, scheduling, invoicing, and unlimited team members. No per-site fees, no white-label upcharges.
-
Support takes weeks when you actually need help.
Duda promises priority support, but agency customers report waiting three weeks for responses on basic issues. One 15-year customer left the platform entirely after support went silent for weeks. When you're managing client sites on deadline, that delay costs you money and trust.
Wonderly's platform does 95% of setup automatically, so you're not waiting on support to get started. You can use it day one, not week three.

Feature details
Here's a detailed look at Wonderly's features.
We know unpredictable pricing is stressful — that's why ALL AI features (Receptionist, Text, Automations) are included in one flat rate of $395/mo after the first 14 days. No surprises, ever.
The elephant in the room
But Duda is built for agencies managing client sites at scale...
True. And if you're an agency building 50 websites a month for clients, Duda makes sense. But if you're a contractor, med spa, or law firm trying to run your own business, that agency-grade infrastructure just means more complexity you'll never use.
Service business owners switching to Wonderly aren't looking for white-label capabilities or API access. They're looking for a website that books appointments, a CRM that follows up automatically, and AI that answers the phone when they can't.
Here's the real question: Do you need a white-label platform built for agencies managing hundreds of client sites, or do you need a website, CRM, and AI that work together to book more jobs?
The math doesn't lie.

FAQs
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Duda
Wonderly replaces your website builder, business phone system, texting platform, CRM, scheduling tool, email management, invoicing software, and project management system in one platform. Duda only builds websites — you'll still need separate subscriptions for Calendly ($8-12/month), RingCentral ($20-30/month), Mailchimp ($10-20/month), a CRM like HubSpot ($45/month), and project management tools like Monday ($8-16/month). Most contractors save $200-400/month by consolidating everything into Wonderly.
Picture this: you're under a sink fixing a leak when a new lead calls. With Wonderly, our AI Receptionist picks up, qualifies the lead, books the appointment, and starts automated text and email follow-ups — all while you're working. With Duda, that call goes to voicemail and you'll manually follow up later (if you remember). Duda doesn't include phone service, texting, or any automation — it's just a website builder.
Wonderly's AI builds your website, sets up your CRM, configures your phone system, and creates your automations in about 20 minutes. Everything works together from day one because it's all one platform. Duda requires you to build the website yourself (45-60 minutes just for basic setup), then separately configure and connect multiple third-party tools for phone, texting, CRM, and scheduling. Many Duda users report needing technical help or spending weeks getting everything connected properly.
Wonderly gives your whole team access — office staff, field techs, project managers, everyone. Duda limits you to just one user on their Basic plan, three on Team ($39/month), or six on Agency ($69/month). If you have more than six people who need access, you'll need their Custom plan with undisclosed pricing. For a growing business, those per-seat costs add up fast.
When you close a deal in Wonderly, the project automatically kicks off with tasks, timelines, team assignments, and a client portal where customers can see progress and upload documents. It's like having a project manager built into your CRM. Duda only builds websites — once you close a deal, you're on your own for managing the actual work. You'd need separate tools like Monday, Asana, or hiring a project manager to handle delivery.
You don't have time to figure out software. You shouldn't have to.
