Durable vs MakeLanding

Durable

Aimed squarely at trades and local services that have never had a website, and honest about it — the generated site is a competent one-page brochure, not a design. The reason to pay is the CRM, invoicing and booking bolted around it; judged purely as a page builder it loses to the free tiers of the general-purpose tools.

Pros

• +The free tier is a genuinely usable live site, not a time-limited preview
• +Custom domain registration is included in the paid tiers rather than billed separately
• +The 15% annual discount means month-to-month is not punitively priced, unlike most tools here
• +CRM, invoicing and scheduling in the same subscription remove two or three other bills

Cons

• −The free CRM stops at ten contacts, which any working business passes in a fortnight
• −Generated sites share a recognisable structure, so differentiation has to come from the copy
• −No API and no export path, so the site and the customer records live where they were made
• −Even Grow, the top self-serve tier, meters the assistant and image studio at 5,000 AI credits a month

MakeLanding

Useful for the case where you need ten variant landing pages this week and none of them will live long — validation tests, ad destinations, launch pages. Copy, art and logo all come out of one pass, which beats assembling three tools. It is a thin, anonymous operation with no company details published, so do not build a business-critical site on it.

Pros

• +Generates copy, illustrations and a logo in one pass rather than across three tools
• +Six art styles and twelve colour themes, plus a large stock-photo fallback
• +Built-in editor for sections, copy, colours and fonts after generation
• +Custom domains from $19/month and API access from $29/month

Cons

• −No company name, country or terms published anywhere on the site
• −No free tier — the cheapest plan is $9/month
• −Quotas count pages generated per month, so iterating burns the allowance
• −Single-page marketing site with no pricing, blog or terms pages of its own
