A Durable alternative that stays at $19
People type “Durable alternative” when they want a live website from a sentence, not a weekend with WordPress. Bizzit is that job, priced under Launch. You describe a business in English. We build the site and host it. Free means a URL on your-slug.bizzit.io after Google sign-in. Pro is $19 a month when you want a custom domain. Durable’s public Launch price is $25 a month. That is the comparison we are willing to print. We are not going to paste their CRM, chat caps, and image-generation grid onto a Bizzit page and pretend we shipped it.
What you actually get on Bizzit
The product is a hosted business, not a page builder you assemble from sections. You write what the business is — a salon that takes deposits, a bakery with pickup before eight, a lawn crew that books the next yard, a shop that needs a catalog. We generate a preview. You publish. The site is real HTML on our servers. Visitors can open it on a phone. That is the core loop, and it is live.
Free is not a watermarked mock. It is a hostname on the bizzit.io zone: mill-street-bakery.bizzit.io, north-line-lawn.bizzit.io, whatever slug the project used. You can text it. You can print a QR that opens it. You can keep it there as long as the project stays published. Nothing in that sentence requires Pro.
Pro is the month you want the name on the door. Search a domain on Bizzit, see the registrar price, buy it, attach it. Or point a name you already own. Either way the business stays in the same account as billing. We do not send you to a third dashboard to finish DNS homework as a scavenger hunt. The $19 is for that hosting and that domain path. It is not a percent of checkout. If someone pays you on the site, they pay your account when you have connected it.
What Launch is, in one paragraph
Durable sells a broader “AI business in a box” than a website. Their Launch SKU, at $25 a month on the public pricing page, bundles custom domain, branding removal, and a list of operating tools — analytics, booking, chat volume, CRM contact caps, generated images. That is a different product surface. Some of those lines are useful. Some of them are why the price is $25 instead of $19. If you need their stack, pay them. If you need a live URL from a brief, and a custom domain without stepping up to $25, you are in our lane.
Where we will not lie
We do not currently sell a site-analytics dashboard, a CRM with contact limits, a booking product that syncs a Google calendar, or an on-site chat with a monthly message cap. We do not generate ad campaigns or logos as a SKU. If a Bizzit marketing sentence ever sounded like we did, treat the compare table as the correction. The honest list is on /compare/durable. It has three columns: Bizzit Free, Bizzit Pro $19, Durable Launch $25. Empty cells stay empty.
A shop on Bizzit is one kind of brief, not a separate store platform. If you write that you sell goods, we can fill a catalog from the niche and apply a markup you set — you can try that on the catalog tool after Google sign-in. We do not scrape another merchant. We do not promise AliExpress as a live API. Overnight restock copy is only as good as the jobs we actually run; do not buy Pro solely because a paragraph mentioned restocks. Buy Pro because you want the domain and the site left on.
Price in a year, not in adjectives
Twelve months of Bizzit Pro at list is $228. Twelve months of Durable Launch at $25 is $300. That $72 is real only if you would have paid Launch for a site you could have hosted here. Use the price widget if you want a different month count. Durable also sells Launch cheaper when billed yearly; we are comparing the public monthly numbers because that is what people quote in the query. We do not annualize a discount we do not control.
Break-even on our side is simple because Pro is flat. At a two percent conversion and a $65 average order, you do not need a lot of visits to cover $19. Run the visits calculator with your own numbers. Ads, cost of goods, and processor fees are yours. We are not taking a platform cut of those orders.
Who this is for
A person who can describe the business in a paragraph and wants a URL tonight. A baker who will send mill-street.bizzit.io to the neighborhood group and upgrade when the .com is worth $19. A trades crew that needs hours and a booking form on a page that does not look like a template pack. A shop that wants a first catalog without standing up WooCommerce. Look at the examples — bakery, lawn, salon, restocking shop, publisher, coaching — then write yours in your own words.
Who should stay on Durable
If the reason you opened Durable was the CRM, the booking calendar sync, or the AI chat quota, stay there until we ship those as real software. A cheaper website that pretends to be their operating system is how you get angry at month two. We would rather lose that click than index a lie.
How to try Bizzit without a card
Open Create. Sign in with Google. Paste the paragraph. Preview. Publish free. Send the slug. If the site is the wrong business, rebuild from a better brief — five questions on the brief builder if the blank box is the problem. When the URL is doing work and you want the custom name, that is Pro. Cancel from the account if it is not; there is a whole note on canceling.
The other named comparison we will keep current is the table, not a slogan. Durable Launch is $25. We are $19. We build and host what you described. That is the alternative.
