The short answer
Duda is the mature choice for running client sites under your own brand, with a full white label and client billing. Choose it if you have clients and need the platform. Choose Shingle if you need to win clients too. It finds businesses with weak websites, builds a demo from their facts, and alerts you when they open it.
What Duda does well
A white-label website platform for agencies, hosts and SaaS companies, with client accounts, team seats and billing.
- A mature white label that covers the editor, dashboard and emails
- Client billing from its Team plan, with no Duda fee beyond Stripe's own
- Billing that can publish a site after the first payment and keep it live while the client pays
- Built for agencies, with client accounts, team seats and client permissions
- An AI builder, a copilot and an AI widget builder, plus an app store

Where it differs
It finds the clients
Radar shows who has no website or a weak one. Duda's pages don't show a lead finder.
A demo before the call
Build from a Google listing, then get an alert when it's opened. Duda's pages don't show listing builds.
A flat price for more sites
Each live site past the first is $7 a month, with no cap. Duda's plans include 1 or 4, and more cost extra.

Who each one suits
Choose Shingle if
- You need new clients more than a bigger platform
- You want a demo for each prospect before you call them
- You want to add live sites at $7 a month each
- You'd rather ask for a change than work in an editor
Choose Duda if
- You want your brand on everything, including the editor and dashboard
- You want to bill clients through the platform
- You want a store add-on, an app store or an API for your own tools
- You run an established agency and want a proven platform
Moving over from Duda
- Paste a live Duda site's address into Shingle's composer and choose Clone, which copies a page's words, photos and design.
- For a client's site, Clone asks you to confirm you have permission to copy it. It offers the pages its menu links to afterward, one at a time.
- Each domain moves with two DNS records, which Shingle shows you. Keep billing clients through your own tool, because Shingle has no client billing.
Common questions

If you need help winning clients, yes. If you need a mature platform for clients you already have, Duda is stronger, with a full white label and client billing. Shingle has Radar, pitch links that report back and a review of every line, which Duda's pages don't show.
No. Duda's client billing runs through Stripe from its Team plan, with no Duda fee, and can publish a site after the first payment. Shingle has no client billing today, so you'd charge clients with your own tool.
Duda's covers the editor, dashboard and emails, under your own brand. Shingle's plan puts your name and logo on review links, the client's editor and emails, but clients sign in at Shingle's address and the mail comes from Shingle's. If that matters to you, choose Duda.
Its White Label plan is $199 a month, or $149 billed yearly, with 4 sites included and more at extra cost. Its Agency plan is $69 with 4 sites and no white label. On Shingle, 4 live sites are $70 a month and 10 are $112, with your name and logo on client pages, though that white label goes less far than Duda's.
