Duda vs WordPress.com
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
Dudasite ↗pricing ↗
A website builder aimed at agencies and resellers building many client sites, with team and white-label workflows. Paid plans start at $25/mo (Basic); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 4 paid tiers, topping out at $199/mo (White Label). We read the same $25/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
WordPress.comsite ↗pricing ↗
The hosted version of WordPress: the same publishing software as the self-hosted original, run for you, with plans that unlock plugins and themes at higher tiers. Paid plans start at £9/mo (Personal); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at £40/mo (Business). It bills by country — entry $9/mo to a US reader and €9/mo in the eurozone, from our same-day reads.

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: WordPress.com at £9/mo, against Duda at $25/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: Duda tops out at $199/mo, WordPress.com at £40/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Duda: We read the same $25/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
- WordPress.com: It bills by country — entry $9/mo to a US reader and €9/mo in the eurozone, from our same-day reads.
How to choose in this category
- First-term discounts are common here — the renewal figure is the one you will live with.
- Free plans usually carry the vendor’s branding and domain.
- A site is hard to move; weigh the exit cost before the entry price.
