Cliux vs Duda
Pick Cliux if you want a freeform canvas, eleven built-in apps rather than add-ons and an agency console that includes proposals, contracts and invoices. Pick Duda if you want an agency operating model with unlimited client accounts, end-to-end white label and a stated uptime figure.
In Duda’s own words: “The AI Web Presence Platform for Pros”

Moving over
How a move from Duda works
There is no import tool. This is what a switch involves, step by step.
There is no import tool. Open the old site beside a new Cliux site and rebuild each page on the canvas; text and images copy across, the layout is redrawn.
Publish on your free Cliux address, share the password-protected preview with whoever signs off, and keep the old site live until you are happy.
Point your own domain at Cliux: two DNS records, and the certificate is issued for you; the Cliux address keeps working beside it.
Frequently asked questions

No add-on: the Online Store, Bookings and the other built-in apps come with every site, and taking payments with them starts on the Business site plan. Duda sells its native store as a per-site add-on with tiers.
Neither: Cliux takes 0% and Duda states 0% on its native ecommerce and bookings. Payment processor fees apply on both.
Cliux puts your logo on client documents and dashboards on Pro and Scale. Duda's White Label and Custom plans rebrand the login, editor, dashboard and previews.
A site is free to build and preview; publishing it is $192 a year on the Website plan, and selling starts on Business at $348 a year. An agency buys each client site's plan at its workspace discount; Pro and Scale add seats and white label. Duda lists no free plan and offers a 14-day trial.
On Cliux every published client site has its own yearly site plan, which the agency buys at its workspace discount. Duda's Agency plan includes 4 published projects, with additional published sites billed each.
Get started
Build it on the canvas, then decide.
