The codebase was well documented and AI Agent friendly and security has been taken as a foundational component, not an afterthought as in many "vibe coded" products.

Competitor pricing and feature availability verified September 2026; plans vary and change often, so confirm current details on each vendor's site. Seedly Sites is a one-time license plus your own flat hosting.
The math that matters
Per-site quotas, or one license.
Duda is genuinely built with agencies in mind, but it charges quotas and per-site fees, with no platform ownership and only a stripped-down site export.
Seedly Sites has no site quota, flat hosting, and the full source you own and host yourself.
The whole point
Own it, do not rent it.
Duda is genuinely built for agencies, but it still charges quotas and per-site fees, and you never own the platform; the site export it does offer strips the dynamic features. As your roster grows past its tiers, you are renting harder every month for something you cannot keep.
Own it instead: one license for unlimited tenants with no quotas, a real multi-tenant CMS, portable static output your clients own, and the source code itself. Same agency focus, none of the metered rent.

The ability to customize to the specific needs and functionality we need is immeasurably valuable.

The codebase made that far easier than it had any right to be: clear structure, sensible boundaries, and comments that explain why something works the way it does rather than restating the code.

You get the entire code base. So, you can just use Claude to add features or customize it any way you want.

Even if you do have some technical knowledge, what you're able to build on top of it and integrate with everything is just very impressive.

The reason I love Seedly is ownership, because you own the codebase instead of renting and watching the provider change things constantly.

Getting out
Moving off Duda? On your schedule.
Because you own and host the platform, you bring client sites over from Duda in batches and run Seedly Sites alongside it while you rebuild, then point each domain across when it is ready. There is no per-site clock and no monthly bill ticking while you migrate.
The porting tools reproduce an existing site to near 1:1 inside the builder, and any URL that changes gets a 301 through the managed redirect workflow, so the client keeps the rankings you were paid to protect. You switch on your timeline, not a vendor's.
The verdict
Duda is one of the few platforms actually built for agencies, and I respect that. But it still charges quotas and per-site fees, and you never own the platform or the output. As the roster grows, owning it just wins.
Choose Seedly Sites if
your client count is growing and you want unlimited sites on one license you own.
Choose Duda if
you want a hosted agency platform with built-in client billing and don't need to own it.
