Wonderly vs. Strikingly
Strikingly's 'cancel anytime' promise has an expensive catch.
Their pricing page says you can cancel anytime and revert to the free plan. Their customers say the second you cancel, you lose every feature you've already paid for — even if you have months left. That's why we built Wonderly.

Why people switch
Three things Strikingly customers find out after they've already paid
-
Strikingly doesn't include phone, texting, or scheduling
Strikingly is a website builder. It doesn't include a business phone number, texting, appointment scheduling, or AI follow-ups. If you want to call customers, send appointment reminders, or automate follow-ups, you have to buy separate software and connect it yourself.
Wonderly includes phone, texting, scheduling, and AI follow-ups built-in. One platform, $395/month all-in.
-
Cancel your plan and lose access immediately
Strikingly's terms say if you cancel a paid plan, you lose access to all paid features right away—even if you prepaid for the full year. Their pricing page says you can cancel anytime, but their policy gives you no refund and cuts off your service the moment you cancel.
Wonderly does not require annual contracts. Cancel anytime, and you keep access through the end of your billing period.
-
The VIP plan caps you at 2,000 contacts
Strikingly's $49/month VIP plan limits you to 2,000 active contacts. If your customer list grows past that, you'll hit a wall. There's no clear path to scale beyond that cap without losing contact data or switching platforms entirely.
Wonderly's free CRM has no contact limits. Store 5,000 customers or 50,000—your price stays $0 for the CRM.

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 Strikingly is so simple to use...
It is. And if all you need is a landing page, Strikingly is a solid choice. But most service businesses don't just need a website — they need a website that connects to their scheduling, their CRM, their invoicing, and their follow-up system without duct-taping five different tools together.
Service business owners switching to Wonderly aren't looking for simple. They're looking for done — a website that books appointments, a CRM that follows up automatically, and AI that answers the phone while they're with a client.
Here's the real question: Do you need a website builder, or do you need a website builder plus a CRM, scheduling system, client portal, invoicing, and AI that actually books appointments?
The math doesn't lie.

FAQs
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Strikingly
Wonderly replaces your website builder, business phone system, texting platform, CRM, scheduling tool, email marketing, invoicing software, and project management system in one platform. Strikingly only builds websites — you'd still need separate tools like Calendly for scheduling, RingCentral for phone calls, Mailchimp for email marketing, and QuickBooks for invoicing. Most businesses save $300-500/month by canceling 5-6 separate subscriptions when they switch to Wonderly.
Picture this: you're under a sink fixing a leak when a new lead calls. With Wonderly, your AI Receptionist answers immediately, asks the right questions, qualifies the lead, and books the appointment in your calendar. It also sends follow-up texts and emails automatically. With Strikingly, that call goes to voicemail because they don't offer phone service or SMS. By the time you call back hours later, that lead has already hired someone else.
Most agencies charge $5,000 setup plus $2,000/month to connect 5-6 different tools, and 90% do a bad job. Wonderly's AI onboarding takes about 20 minutes and sets up your website, CRM, phone system, booking calendar, and automations all at once. Strikingly can build a website quickly, but connecting it to separate scheduling, CRM, and phone systems requires technical knowledge or hiring help. With Wonderly, everything works together from day one because it's all one platform.
Wonderly does not require annual contracts. Cancel anytime. No mandatory onboarding fees, no paying upfront for a year you haven't used yet. Strikingly's VIP plan locks you into yearly billing, and customers report losing access immediately upon cancellation — even if they've paid for months in advance. Multiple reviews mention unexpected daily charges and refusal to provide refunds, with one customer reporting $98 daily deductions after trying to cancel.
Your phone number is on your truck, business cards, and Google listing — you can't afford to lose it. Wonderly lets you port your existing business number or get a new local number instantly. The AI Receptionist starts answering calls on day one. Strikingly doesn't offer business phone service at all, so you'd need to keep paying for a separate phone system like RingCentral or Grasshopper. That means another monthly bill and another system to manage.
