Anticode vs Duda: a white-label platform for client sites, or sites built from a brief
Duda is a white-label website platform for agencies and SaaS companies that build client sites at scale, with client logins, permissions and a branded editor. Anticode's Agency plan is white-label too, but each site is generated from a description and checked before it can be published. If you run a production line of client sites with clients editing their own, Duda is built for it; if you want each site designed for you, Anticode is.
The short answer
Duda is for web professionals who sell and manage many sites: a platform you can brand as your own, client accounts with role-based permissions, reusable templates and sections, and APIs for automating it. Anticode is for agencies and freelancers who want the design and build work itself done from a brief, delivered without Anticode branding on the Agency plan, with a design and security check on every page before it goes live.
How client sites get built
Duda's website builder page presents a responsive editor designed for building client sites at scale, with API, design and automation features and an AI stack alongside. Its AI stack page describes an AI Copilot and MCP support for third-party AI tools, used to build and manage sites in natural language: generating content, collections, blog posts and product descriptions, and creating clients, assigning them to sites and sending sign-in links.
Anticode starts each site from the client's brief. The Architect asks up to three questions that would change the build and shows a plan, the design engine lays it out in one of seven design systems, and you refine it with the visual editor, the layout editor or a change request in words. Clients review through a link to the current preview, comment on a section without an account, and the link expires after 14 days by default.

How the money works
As of 24 October 2026, Duda's pricing page lists prices in USD per account, with annual plans charged upfront and saving up to 25%. Basic is $25 a month billed monthly or $19 billed annually; Team $39 or $29; Agency $69 or $52; White Label $199 or $149; Custom is negotiated. Basic and Team include one published site and Agency and White Label four. Each additional site costs $19 a month or $171 a year on Basic, and $17 a month or $168 a year on the other plans. E-commerce and bookings are priced separately. There's a 14-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Anticode's Agency plan is a Team workspace with its own allowance and seat count, plus white-label client sites. You pay for building, with a quote before each build, rather than a fee for each published site; your own domains connect on paid plans. Amounts are on pricing.
Branding, roles and handover
Duda's white label page describes clients logging in through a custom-branded screen and a builder customised with your logo, colours and domain name, with interactive previews you send to clients. That's a full reseller experience: the client can live inside your branded platform.
Anticode's white label is narrower. Client sites carry no Anticode branding, members can build, edit and publish, admins also invite people and delete projects, and only the owner changes roles. Clients don't get a branded dashboard of their own, and projects can't be transferred between separate Anticode accounts, so handover usually means keeping the site in your workspace or giving the client the export. Managing several client websites covers how that works day to day.
Where Duda is the better choice
- Clients edit their own sites. Client accounts with permissions inside a branded platform.
- Your brand on the tool itself. Custom login screen, editor branding and platform domain.
- Stores and bookings as add-ons. Separate e-commerce and bookings subscriptions.
- Automation at scale. APIs and platform automation for creating and managing many sites.
Where Anticode is the better choice
- Design work done from the brief. Each site starts designed rather than as a template to adapt.
- Every page checked. Accessibility basics and twelve security checks before anything is live.
- No per-site fee. Pricing follows building, not the number of published sites.
- Standard code out. Export a Next.js project with server routes for forms and an admin area.
Who should pick which
A hosting company, a vertical SaaS adding websites to its product, or an agency with dozens of retainer clients who log in to update their own pages should look at Duda first. A small studio or freelancer that wants to cut design and build time per client, and keeps editing in-house, will get more from Anticode. More options are in Duda alternatives.
Anticode's limits
No client logins or branded client dashboard, no project transfer between accounts, no multilingual sites, no shopping cart beyond one payment link per account, and no WordPress or Figma import. Booking times are fixed, built-in forms have set fields (custom forms need a site function), and design-engine pages can't embed widgets. Duda facts above come from its own pages on 24 October 2026.
Questions people ask
Is Duda priced per site?
Partly. You pay for a plan per account, which includes one or four published sites, then a monthly or yearly fee for each additional site.
Is Anticode white-label?
On the Agency plan, yes: client sites carry no Anticode branding. Anticode doesn't offer a branded editor or login for your clients.
Can my clients edit their own Anticode site?
Only if you add them to your workspace as members, who can build, edit and publish but can't delete projects or take sites down. Each member takes a seat.
