KIT Agency vs Duda: which approach fits your business?
Duda is a tool you use to build a site. KIT is a team that builds and runs it for you. Both are good at what they are for. Here is how to tell which one you need.
The fundamental difference
KIT Agency
KIT Agency is a managed service. We build your website, host it, run local SEO on it, plug in the software that catches every enquiry, and, if you want, run your short-form video marketing. One team, one monthly price, and a growth audit every month.
Duda
Duda is a website builder platform built for agencies, freelancers and SaaS companies that create sites for their own clients, including a white-label option.

| KIT Agency | Duda | |
|---|---|---|
| Who builds the site | We do, from your goals and your content. | You, or the agency that uses Duda for you. |
| Hosting and upkeep | Included and managed by us. | Hosting is included in Duda plans. |
| Local SEO | Included on every software plan: Google Business Profile, service-area pages, structured data. | SEO tools are part of the builder; the work is done by whoever runs the site. |
| Lead CRM, booking and AI assistant | Built in: every enquiry lands in one list with its source. Booking and a 24/7 assistant from the Growth plan. | Depends on the plan and the integrations the builder adds. |
| Short-form video marketing | Available as Managed Marketing, researched, scripted, edited and published for you. | Not part of a website builder. |

Ownership and leaving
- You own your domain, your words and your photos, and every lead exports to a spreadsheet at any time.
- We run the hosting, the platform, the upkeep and, on the plans that include it, the local SEO.
- If you leave, software plans stop at the end of the month you paid for. The platform itself stays with us; your content and data go with you.
Choose Duda if…
- You are an agency or freelancer building many client sites and want a white-label platform.
- You have your own team to design, write and maintain sites.
Choose KIT if…
- You are the business owner and want the site, the software and the SEO run for you.
- You want every enquiry tracked in one place without stitching tools together.
Questions
Is KIT a website builder like Duda?
No. Duda is a platform for people who build sites. KIT is a managed service: we build and run the site for you on our own platform.
Can I edit my KIT site myself?
Yes. You change the words and photos from a dashboard, and the layout is locked so nothing breaks.
