GoDaddy Website Builder does everything we verified about Duda for $5.01 a month less at 1 site, $19.99 against $25. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: Duda is built for running many client sites and a mature platform with a large ecosystem and GoDaddy Website Builder is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
Why people look for an alternative
A single site costs $25 a month before any ecommerce, which makes it dear for one owner-run website, and ecommerce, bookings and a free domain are all extra or limited to the Custom plan.
It runs $25 a month at 1 site with the add-ons it forces on you included. 7 of the 10 alternatives to Duda cost less than that.

How to read the feature lines
Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a free plan and running WordPress. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other twelve are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
