Honest recommendations
When to pick each
When Durable is the right call
Small service business (cleaning, landscaping, mobile services) that wants AI-generated site + back-office tools (invoicing, CRM, marketing) in one platform. Durable's bundle is the right fit.
When Hostinger is the right call
Budget-first buyer who values bundled hosting + email + domain and is comfortable with the renewal price cliff. Hostinger's intro pricing wins year 1; year 2+ costs more than Durable or Website Killer.
When Website Killer is the right call
Anyone who wants premium-feeling design output + AI generation + flat pricing + portable code, without the back-office bundle (Durable) or the renewal-pricing structure (Hostinger).
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is Hostinger so cheap on the intro?
Intro pricing on Hostinger is contingent on a 48-month upfront commitment ($143.52 paid upfront). At month 49, you renew at $7.99/mo or higher — a 167% price increase. The intro pricing is honest if you stay 4+ years; misleading if you compare year-one to a flat-priced product like Website Killer or Durable.
Is Durable's 30-second generation real?
Yes — they ship a basic site in 30 seconds. The catch: the design ceiling is lower than slower-generating products. The 30-second site feels templated. Website Killer's generation takes 2-5 minutes and produces meaningfully better design quality.
Which has better back-office tools?
Durable, by design. Their Business tier ($25/mo) includes invoicing, CRM, marketing campaigns. Hostinger doesn't compete here. Website Killer also doesn't compete here — we're focused on the website itself. For back-office, pair us with HoneyBook, QuickBooks, or Calendly.
Pricing over 3 years?
Durable Starter: $540 over 3 years. Hostinger Premium: ~$287 (intro + 2 years renewal). Website Killer Pro: $504. Hostinger is cheapest at year 3 for one basic site; Durable is most expensive but includes back-office; we're in the middle with premium design and 5 sites.
