Wonderly vs. Durable
Durable's AI builds your site in 30 seconds. Editing it takes starting over.
The platform generates websites instantly, but users report they can't edit existing versions—every update requires creating a new project and rebuilding from scratch. Service businesses need tools that evolve with their operations, not platforms that force them to choose between stagnation and repetition. That's why we built Wonderly.

Why people switch
Three facts about Durable you find out too late.
-
Durable doesn't include phone, SMS, or appointment scheduling.
Durable gives you a website builder, a basic CRM, and invoicing. That's it. If you want to text customers, take phone calls, or let people book appointments online, you have to buy separate software and connect it yourself. Most service businesses need all three on day one.
Wonderly includes phone, SMS, and scheduling built-in. 10,000 credits included at $395/month — no extra software to buy or connect.
-
All fees are non-refundable, even if you cancel immediately.
Durable's terms of service state that all fees are "non-cancelable and non-refundable."Pay for a year upfront at $264? You're locked in. Realize it's not the right fit on day two? You don't get your money back.
Wonderly does not require annual contracts. You can cancel anytime, and the free tier stays free forever — no money down, no risk.
-
You can't edit your site without starting over.
When you want to update your Durable website, you can't just edit what's already there. You have to create a new project and rebuild it from scratch. And if you want to move your custom domain away from Durable, their pricing page says it "takes a couple of weeks"and requires a "minimum subscription time."
Wonderly's website builder lets you edit pages directly. No rebuilding, no waiting weeks to move your domain if you ever want to leave.

Feature details
Here's a detailed look at Wonderly's features.

The elephant in the room
But Durable gets me online in 30 seconds...
It does. And if all you need is a website, Durable is a solid choice. But a website doesn't answer your phone at 9 PM, follow up with leads who ghost you, or send invoices the moment a job wraps.
The businesses switching to Wonderly aren't looking for a faster website builder. They're looking for fewer missed leads, more closed deals, and the ability to stop babysitting their inbox — the outcomes that actually grow revenue.
Here's the real question: Do you need a website in 30 seconds, or do you need a business that runs itself while you focus on the work you're good at?
The math doesn't lie.

FAQs
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Durable
Wonderly replaces your website builder, business phone system, texting platform, CRM, scheduling tool, email marketing, invoicing software, and project management system in one platform. Durable only builds websites — you'll still need separate tools like Calendly for scheduling, RingCentral for phone calls, Mailchimp for email, and QuickBooks for invoicing. Most contractors save $300-500/month by canceling all those subscriptions and switching to Wonderly's free platform.
Picture this: you're under a sink fixing a leak when a new lead calls. Wonderly's AI Receptionist answers, qualifies the lead, and books the appointment while you keep working. Then AI agents automatically text and email follow-ups until they respond. Durable has a basic chatbot on your website, but no business phone system or automated follow-up — so leads who call go to voicemail, and you're still manually chasing every inquiry.
Wonderly's AI onboarding sets up your entire business system in about 20 minutes — website, CRM, phone number, automations, and booking calendar all connected and ready. Durable can build a website quickly, but then you're on your own to find, buy, and connect separate tools for phone, scheduling, CRM, and follow-up. Most contractors either spend weeks figuring it out themselves or pay an agency $5,000+ to set it up properly.
Once you close a deal in Wonderly, the project automatically kicks off with tasks, timelines, and team assignments. Your customer gets access to a client portal where they can see progress, upload documents, and complete required tasks. Durable stops at the website and basic invoicing — there's no project management or client portal, so you're back to juggling spreadsheets, texts, and emails to manage jobs after you win them.
Wonderly does not require annual contracts. Cancel anytime. No mandatory onboarding fees, no paying upfront for a year you haven't used yet. Durable's terms state that all fees are "non-cancelable and non-refundable,"subscriptions auto-renew, and transferring your custom domain requires a "minimum subscription time"and takes weeks. Users report feeling locked in once they realize they can't easily leave or get refunds.
