Think Bright Sites vs Duda

Duda is built for agencies and its hosting is fast. Think Bright Sites rebuilds the whole site, not just the text.

Duda is the builder many agencies use for client sites. Its hosted pages pass Core Web Vitals on about 86% of mobile origins, the best figure we know of among builders. That deserves to be said first.

Duda can import text and images from an existing site into a template. Think Bright Sites rebuilds the whole site, rows and layout included, and shows the match first. Facts are current as of September 2026.

No credit meter. Edit in place behind the key icon or leave a voice note. Editing is part of the plan.
Editing model

Speed measurement
Duda
About 86% of mobile origins pass Core Web Vitals. Best in class among builders.
We run Lighthouse on every push and show you before and after. One measured rebuild, a Houston printer, went from 65 to 98.
Support model
Think Bright Sites
Built for agencies. Support usually runs through your agency or Duda's help channels.
HANS, our AI, does the work. A person reviews every change before it goes live, and your project queue reaches a person.
Price
Duda
$19 to $149 a month, depending on plan.
One start fee for the human week, then a low monthly, billed annually or monthly. HANS does the work. A person approves it. That is why it costs a fraction of what an agency charges. We set the numbers with you in a conversation while we onboard ten sites a week.

When Duda wins

  • You are an agency managing many client sites and want one dashboard for all of them.
  • You want the strongest hosted Core Web Vitals average we know of.
  • You want a mature editor and a broad template library.
  • You want the lowest entry price and will do the building yourself.

When Think Bright Sites wins

  • Your existing site has more than 30 pages, or a layout worth keeping.
  • You want the file on every plan, not only on an Agency plan.
  • You would rather not count AI credits when making a change.
  • You want human review from paste to launch.

Questions

Duda has better speed numbers than you. Why switch?

Its hosted average is excellent, and we say so. Our proof is one measured rebuild, not an average. We measure your site before and after. The reasons to switch are the rebuild, the file and no credit meter.

Does Duda import my whole site?

It imports text and images, up to 30 pages, into a Duda template. The layout is rebuilt there. Think Bright Sites rebuilds the rows and layout along with the content.

Can I export from Duda?

Static export is available on Agency plans. On other plans the design stays on Duda. With Think Bright Sites the HTML file for each page is included on every plan.

My agency already runs my site on Duda. Should I move?

If it works and you are happy, stay. We will measure your site and show you the number before we suggest anything. If it already passes, we will tell you.
