WorkspaceCMS vs Duda: common questions
Is WorkspaceCMS cheaper than Duda?
Duda's software is cheaper. Plans run about $19 to $59 a month (roughly $14 to $44 billed annually). But Duda is a tool, mostly sold to agencies: you typically also pay whoever designs, builds, and maintains the site, and those agency fees are the real cost. WorkspaceCMS starts at $89 a month with the build for free and the team included, so you pay one flat bill instead of software plus an agency retainer.
My agency built my site on Duda. Do I actually own it?
Often the site lives inside the agency's Duda account. That means if you part ways with the agency, moving or even accessing the site can get complicated. It's worth asking your agency directly. With WorkspaceCMS, the relationship is direct: your content is yours, and you can export it as JSON (plus redirects as CSV) whenever you want.
Can I move my Duda site to WorkspaceCMS?
Yes. We rebuild your site for free on WorkspaceCMS, including your pages, content, and branding, and plan the cutover so visitors never notice. Your domain stays yours and your old URLs keep working through redirects. You don't need your old agency's cooperation to start; your content and domain are the raw material.
What if I like having an agency handle everything?
Then WorkspaceCMS will feel familiar. That's exactly the model, minus the markup and the opacity. It's built and run by 1Digital, a 15+ year SEO agency with 941+ verified reviews. You get agency-quality work at a published flat price: $89, $199, or $449 a month, with turnaround targets by plan.
Is there a contract with WorkspaceCMS?
Plans start with a 12-month commitment, which funds the free build, then go month-to-month. Every plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, so the first month is risk-free.
Does WorkspaceCMS do SEO better than a Duda site?
Duda produces fast, technically sound sites, but SEO strategy, content, and structured data still depend on whoever operates it. WorkspaceCMS bakes the foundation in: every site ships with schema, technical SEO, llms.txt, and AI-visibility optimization so Google and assistants like ChatGPT can understand and recommend your business.
Your Duda site is fast, but can AI find it?
ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity only recommend sites they can read — and most small-business sites fail that test. Scan yours free and see exactly where you stand.
