QuickSites vs Duda
The agency/SaaS builder — excellent white-label, team workflows, and a mature store.
The short version: Duda is a strong agency website builder. The difference is the business model — QuickSites hosts free and monetizes commerce with a take-rate + a lifetime reseller residual on GMV, so agencies earn as their clients sell.

You earn a % of every sale A commerce take-rate that scales with the merchant’s GMV | Platform fee up to 10% via Stripe Connect | 0% on store transactions |

White-label & resell under your brand Your logo, domain, login, and emails — not ours | Brand the builder, login, and emails | Excellent, self-serve |
Customer CRM + email marketing Customer records, segments, campaigns | Built-in CRM + consent-gated email campaigns w/ revenue attribution | Light |
