A Durable alternative that markets the website you already run
Durable gets a business online from nothing: it builds and hosts a new website, then adds a CRM, bookings, payments, local listings and a Blog Agent on top. QuQi starts from the website you already run, on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow or elsewhere, and its crew audits it, fixes its pages and publishes articles and social posts.
Why people look for an alternative to Durable
Most people who search for a Durable alternative want another website builder. Three needs point to a marketing crew instead, and Durable’s own pricing FAQ speaks to each of them.
A site you already run
Durable is built around the site it makes and hosts for you, and its Blog Agent writes for that site’s blog. Its FAQ also says that moving a domain away later takes a couple of weeks and comes with a minimum subscription time.
Room for your own design
Durable is a no-code builder, and its FAQ says it offers no extensive HTML customisation. Rival roundups add that its sites can end up looking alike, which matters when the design is part of the brand.
Selling online
There is a Sell area for products and services, and the FAQ says the platform is not designed specifically for e-commerce. A shop on Shopify or WooCommerce usually wants its marketing to work with the store it already has.
What QuQi does instead
QuQi leaves your site where it is and gives each of those jobs to a teammate.
Crawls the site you already have, whatever platform it runs on, and checks every page against 56 rules each Monday.
Writes new titles, descriptions, schema and social previews for the pages that need them. With QuQi Edge, one DNS record in front of your site, the fix you pick goes live with an undo, and nothing else on the page changes.
Publishes researched articles to the blog you already have, on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Ghost or Notion, or to any endpoint through a webhook.
Posts every day to the channels you connect, Google Business among them, each post with a picture or carousel set in your site’s fonts and colours. For a shop, the pictures can show what the store sells.
Durable and QuQi, side by side
QuQi’s column is for a paid plan. The free plan audits and analyses the website, and publishing starts on a paid plan.

When Durable is the better pick
QuQi is not the answer to everything Durable does. Stay with it, or use both, if this sounds like you.
- You have no website yet and want one live today, with hosting and a domain included.
- You want a CRM, bookings, invoices and Stripe payments in the same app as your site.
- You run a local service business and want directory listings, review requests and drafted Google review replies in one place.
Moving from Durable to QuQi
- 01
Start from the site you have
Add your website to QuQi, whichever platform runs it. The crew reads the business, the colours, the logo and the voice from your pages, and the first SEO audit starts the moment the crew is made.
- 02
Connect where the work goes
Link your CMS so articles land on your own blog, and your social accounts so posts go out. Add the one DNS record for QuQi Edge if page fixes should go live; without it, each fix waits ready to paste.
- 03
Keep Durable for the back office
Bookings, invoices and the CRM can stay in Durable while QuQi takes the marketing. Let only one of the two make the daily social post, so your followers get one a day.

Durable alternative: common questions
Is there a free Durable alternative?
Durable has a free plan of its own, with a site preview and 300 AI credits in total. QuQi’s free plan does another job: it reads the business behind the website you already have and audits that site. Articles, posts and fixes begin on a paid plan.
Do I need a website to use QuQi?
Yes. Adding a website is where QuQi starts: the crew reads it to learn the business, its audiences and its look, then audits it. If you have no site yet, a builder such as Durable comes first, and QuQi’s audits, posts and AI answer checks can follow once the site is live.
Can QuQi publish to my WordPress or Shopify blog?
Yes. Copywriter publishes to WordPress through the QuQi plugin or an application password, to a Shopify store’s blog through QuQi’s Shopify app, and to WordPress.com, Webflow, Ghost and Notion. Wix gets drafts to review, and a webhook can send each article anywhere else.
Does Durable have AI agents like QuQi?
It has four: a Blog Agent, a Website Leads agent that drafts replies for you to approve in Gmail, a Google Reviews agent, and AI Partner, which edits your site and makes a daily social post. QuQi’s crew has eight teammates for SEO, page fixes, articles, posts, pictures, video, AI answers and backlinks, and most of them work on set days each week.
Can I use Durable and QuQi together?
Yes, with the jobs split. Durable can keep the bookings, invoices, CRM and review replies, and QuQi can audit the site, check AI answers and post to your social channels. Let only one of them write the daily social post, so your followers hear one voice.
