Before you decide
Durable's AI generates the site and you edit it yourself, with AI help for changes; the Grow plan adds a one-on-one onboarding call with a Durable expert. GrowLocal builds your site for you from your real business details, and you can still edit it yourself in the dashboard editor.
A domain you already own and connect stays with your registrar. For a domain registered through Durable, their policy requires an active subscription for three consecutive months and an account in good standing; you then ask their team for the transfer, which they say takes a couple of weeks. With GrowLocal your domain stays in your own registrar account, or we buy it at registrar cost in your name.
Durable's help center describes exporting your customer list as a CSV and handing the website to another person's Durable account, but no export of the site itself (we searched it for "export"). GrowLocal lets you export your site any time.
