Clutch vs Duda

Duda builds websites for agencies at volume.

Clutch builds agentic sites for the businesses on them, and the client changes the site by asking, with your approval.

Clutch and Duda score on the same seven claims.

Where each is best

Choose it if

Clutch:Your clients' customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok

Duda:You sell white-label websites at wholesale

Clutch:Every publish should be graded before it goes live

Duda:Your book needs client seats, roles and billing on one page

Clutch:A change should be one sentence, with your approval

Duda:Your clients' customers will never ask ChatGPT

The seven claims

An AI agent can act on the site

Clutch:The form is a WebMCP tool: an assistant fills it, sends it and shows the site's reply.

Duda:The preview had no JSON-LD (the page's facts in a format assistants read), no llms.txt, no WebMCP, and a robots noindex. Duda's MCP is the agency's own ChatGPT or Claude talking to Duda, not a customer's agent on a client site. (Shop 12 Oct 2026 · Read 23 Oct 2026)

A visitor's question opens the answer

Clutch:Find ranks the site's own passages, opens the best one and highlights it.

Duda:The preview carried no ask bar for visitors. (Shop 12 Oct 2026)

A change is one sentence, approved

Clutch:Ask, or drop a pin on the line. The agent prepares the draft; you press Publish.

Duda:Copilot changed one hero line in the editor and offered Revert. Vibe and the editor do not share a project, so a chat-built site cannot move into the editor. (Shop 12 Oct 2026 · Read 23 Oct 2026)

Graded before it goes live

Clutch:Publish grades the changed pages on find, understand, act and performance, and fixes what the document owns first.

Duda:AI Visibility is a separate add-on that tracks mentions in answer engines. (Read 23 Oct 2026)

Many sites in one place

Clutch:A workspace holds every site in folders and publishes many in one call. Each keeps its own design.

Duda:Duda's strongest card: white label, roles, client seats and an API on one page. Unlimited projects, with 1, 1, 4 and 4 published sites included on its four plans. (Read 23 Oct 2026)

Hosting included

Clutch:A site plan includes hosting and SSL.

Duda:Hosting is in the plan. Uptime is printed three ways on three pages: 99.5%, 99.9% and 99.95%. (Read 23 Oct 2026)

Seen before an account

Clutch:The grade, the full report and every template's live preview, with no account.

Duda:The homepage prompt answered "Create a free account to claim it" before any page showed. (Shops 8 and 12 Oct 2026)

The same brief

We gave Clutch and Duda the same brief, and each did this.

Our shop of Duda on 12 Oct 2026, one fictional community of 186 homes, against what Clutch does with that brief.

The prompt

Duda: The homepage prompt asked for an account first. The brief went in after two onboarding questions.

Clutch: A sentence, the site's address, a Figma file or a template. The agent builds the draft from it.

What painted first

Duda: The visual editor, with every photo labelled "Sample Photo".

Clutch: The site itself, in its own design, with the conversation beside it.

What was invented

Duda: "Quiet residential living" and "professional on-site management", lines the brief never gave.

Clutch: Nothing. The agent invents no facts; a missing rent or phone number stays a question for you.

Whether a pin landedA pin is a marker you drop on the line you want changed.

Duda: No. One Copilot sentence changed the hero line.

Clutch: A pin on the line and one sentence. Nothing is live until you publish.

One grader

Clutch grades Duda sites and Clutch sites with the same public grader.

Both from the public leaderboard, named as the grader names them.
