Durable alternative

A Durable alternative focused on the website itself

Durable pairs a fast AI site with built-in business tools like CRM and invoicing. Forgelo focuses on the website: a complete, well-designed site from a prompt that you refine by typing.

The honest verdict

Switch to Forgelo if the website and how it looks matter most, and you want per-section editing by prompt. Stay with Durable if the bundled CRM and invoicing are what you are really after.
