Making the work
Growing an audience
Running the business
Both cover website builders. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
One-page sites that cost less than lunch
Carrd builds the single page most people actually need: a bio, a link list, a launch page, a form that collects email addresses. Three sites are free and Pro is priced by the year rather than the month, which is why it keeps winning link-in-bio arguments on price alone. A site that wants a blog or a shop outgrows it fast.
Our note
The cheapest way to stop handing out a social profile as though it were a home page. If Linktree's monthly bill is the one you keep meaning to cancel, this is the version you own.
Only on this side
A site builder aimed at people building for clients
Duda is built for somebody making sites for other people: client permissions, a white-label editor and a per-site price that scales with the number of projects rather than the size of one. Sites are fast and responsive without hand-tuning. The team and white-label tiers are where its actual audience sits, and the cheapest plan is a single site for somebody trying it. Anybody building one personal site will find the agency machinery irrelevant and the price higher than the consumer builders.

Our note
Count the sites you will publish, not the features you want, because the per-project charge is what actually sets your bill here. Against Webflow the split is that this is easier to hand to a non-technical client and harder to push into an unusual layout.
