The 8 closest of 8, each with its real monthly cost at 1 site and what it does that Durable does not. See all 17.
GoDaddy Website Builder does everything we verified about Durable for $5.01 a month less at 1 site, $19.99 against $25.

The trade: Durable is built for the least to learn and GoDaddy Website Builder is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
Not for a shop or a design-led site: the FAQ says it is not built for e-commerce, HTML customisation is limited, and there is no staging or members area on the page.

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.
This page compares everything to Durable. The shortlist asks 7 questions about the site you need and how hands-on you want to be, and gives you four picks priced at your own numbers, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
