What our research says

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
  • Grow caps image generation at 500 a month despite being the top self-serve tier

Portflix

Portflix is a quick way to get a portfolio site out of a resume without designing anything, and the built-in chatbot is a genuinely different feature from most portfolio builders. With no pricing page and no company information published, it reads as an early-stage or side project rather than a company with a track record.

Pros

  • Generates a full site directly from a resume upload
  • Several template layouts to choose from (minimal, sidebar, CLI, and more)
  • Includes an AI chatbot on the published site, not just at build time

Cons

  • No pricing page - unclear if or when a paid tier applies
  • No company name, founder, or location disclosed
  • Testimonials shown on the homepage are unverified and could not be cross-checked

Which one fits

Choose Durable if you need

  • Service businesses going from no website to a live one in an afternoon
  • Sole traders who want contacts, invoices and a booking link in the same subscription
  • Anyone who would otherwise pay an agency four figures for a five-section brochure site

Choose Portflix if you need

  • Job seekers who want a portfolio site fast without picking a template from scratch
  • Anyone wanting a chatbot on their portfolio to field basic visitor questions
