## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer is that "best" splits by what kind of agency you run - high-volume SMB sites vs. bespoke design work. Here's how I'd rank them:
> 
> **1. Duda** - My default recommendation for most agencies. It was built for agencies rather than retrofitted: full white-label (branded client dashboard, your domain, your logo), a team/client management layer, and content collaboration so clients edit without breaking layouts. Per-site pricing runs ~$25-35/mo with volume discounts at 10+ and 50+ sites, which is where it gets cheap relative to Webflow. Best fit if you're shipping many similar sites and want recurring hosting/maintenance revenue.
> 
> **2. Wix Studio** - The closest competitor and arguably the better *design* tool of the two. Purpose-built agency product with a multi-site dashboard, reusable design systems, transferable client billing, and real responsive controls (CSS grid-like). Plans start around $19/mo, with Plus ~$34 and Elite ~$159 for more collaborators. Weaker on white-label than Duda - the Wix brand shows up in the client's admin experience.
> 
> **3. Webflow** - Pick this when design fidelity and custom interactions are the product, not throughput. Best-in-class visual

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
