Buddy alternatives
Buddy takes website change requests by text message and has its software build and publish them. It is paid only, has no free tier, and includes vendor developer help at setup and human support afterward. The alternatives differ in how changes are requested and approved, whether code can be exported or self-hosted, what extra tools they include, and their listed price. Weigh whether you want a managed service or a self-serve builder, whether you need a free option, and whether you need bookings, payments or a custom web app.
