How QuickSites compares
The other builders sell you a monthly subscription. QuickSites hosts free and earns alongside you — a commerce take-rate plus a lifetime reseller residual on GMV. Here’s the honest side-by-side, competitor by competitor.
Free hosting
No per-site subscription to keep a site live — every plan hosts free.
You earn on every sale
A commerce take-rate up to 10% via Stripe Connect that scales with the merchant’s GMV.
Lifetime reseller residual
Resellers keep 80% of every order fee — ongoing, not a one-time markup.

What an agency actually keeps
The grid below compares features. Google’s Gemini compared something else: what a maintenance retainer leaves after licence fees and labour, across QuickSites, 10Web and Framer. It put us first. We published it with its seams showing — read the corrections before you quote the headline.
Gross margin on a $199 retainer
The gap is labour, not licence: it modelled 0.5 maintenance hours a month for QuickSites against 1.5 for WordPress.
Read these before you quote it
- 1. Where its model and our price list differ
Gemini modelled our software cost to an agency at $0. That is true for a site on a quicksites.ai subdomain. It is not true for the configuration it describes — client sites on their own domains, under your brand — which is our Agency plan.
- 2. You cannot stack the flat plan and the revenue share
Gemini added a transaction residual on top of the flat Agency plan. Those are two different deals, and our billing code enforces the difference.
- 3. The two versions disagree, and that is worth knowing
We were given two Gemini outputs. The written playbook models a $199 retainer and reports $4,537.50 monthly portfolio profit. The code output models $150 and reports $3,187.50. Same portfolio, different assumptions, no reconciliation between them.
10Web’s and Framer’s pricing on this site was read from their own pricing pages by us; the margins and labour hours above are Gemini’s model and we have not verified them.
Every one of these is a real, capable product.
We say plainly what each does better — the wedge isn’t that they’re bad, it’s that they structurally chose not to let you earn on your clients’ sales. See your own site in seconds.
