Straight comparisons, including when not to hire us

Wix genuinely wins for some businesses. So does a US agency, a freelancer, WordPress and native development. Every page here says which, because a comparison where we win every row isn't worth reading.

  • Where each option actually wins
  • Three-year cost, not month one
  • When the other choice is correct
  • Migration paths that keep your rankings

Comparisons

Five decisions worth getting right

Each one covers where both options win, what three years actually costs, and how to switch without losing what you've built.

Wix & Squarespace vs a Custom Website

What you actually give up on a builder, what three years really costs, and the specific case where a builder is the right call.

Read the comparison

Offshore Team vs a US Agency

Where the cost difference actually comes from, the risks that are real versus imagined, and when paying US rates is the right decision.

Read the comparison

Freelancer vs Agency (Upwork, Fiverr & the Alternatives)

What Upwork and Fiverr are genuinely good for, where single-person risk bites, and how to tell the difference before you pay.

Read the comparison

WordPress vs Next.js

Speed, security, maintenance and the plugin tax — plus the cases where WordPress is still the correct answer.

Read the comparison

React Native vs Native App Development

One codebase against two, what you actually give up in performance, and the specific features that genuinely require native.

Read the comparison

Zapier vs Custom Automation

Where no-code automation genuinely wins, the four ceilings it hits, and the point at which per-task pricing costs more than owning the thing.

Read the comparison

Build vs Buy: AI Automation

When an off-the-shelf tool is the right answer, when custom pays for itself, and the three-year arithmetic most vendors would rather you didn't do.

Read the comparison

AI Agent vs Chatbot

The difference is actions, not intelligence — and it's the difference between a $299 build and a $899 one. Which one your problem actually needs.

n8n vs Zapier

Self-hosted and cheap at volume against polished and effortless — what you actually trade, and who should run which.

FAQ

Questions about choosing

Why would you publish comparisons that recommend against you?+
Because a comparison page written by a vendor is assumed to be biased, and usually is. If our option won every row on every page, nobody would believe any of it. Every one of these has a section on when the other choice is genuinely correct — and if you're in that situation, we'd rather you took it than hired us and were disappointed.
How do I choose between all of these?+
Start with what you're actually deciding. If it's 'do I need to hire anyone at all', read builders vs custom. If it's 'who do I hire', read offshore vs US agency and freelancer vs agency. If you've already decided to build something and it's a technical question, read WordPress vs Next.js or React Native vs native.
Are the cost figures in these comparisons real?+
They're observed market bands — what businesses tell us they were quoted, and what agencies publish on their own pricing pages — rather than statistics from a named study. Every page says so. Our own numbers are our published prices.
What if I've already built on the option you argue against?+
Then don't rebuild reflexively. A fast, well-maintained WordPress site or a working Wix page that brings you customers is not a problem to be solved. Send it over and we'll audit it free and tell you honestly whether it's worth changing — sometimes a $349 audit and a speed cleanup does more than a rebuild, and we'll say so.
Can you help me migrate if I do switch?+
Yes, and the redirect map is the part that matters. We crawl the existing site, preserve the URL structure where it's sensible, and 301 map everything that changes one to one. Done properly a migration is invisible in analytics; done carelessly it costs a third of your organic traffic on launch day.
