Nusii has the best value for the price
Qwilr is vastly more expensive than Nusii. But if it’s because of their fancy editor that isn’t as great — as we just saw — is it really worth it?
Here’s the breakdown of the pricing between Nusii and Qwilr.
Cost comparison for 1 user$29/mo or $290/year
$39/mo or $420/year
For a single user, the difference isn’t that big but there’s still a sizable difference in favor of Nusii.
A major difference though: you can’t contact Qwilr’s support via chat on their smallest plan. Nusii chat support is available to everybody.
But when you grow, the difference becomes much larger.
Cost comparison for 5 users$49/mo or $490/year
$3540/year. No monthly plan.
These higher plans also come with more features like custom domains and additional integrations.
When you go to 5 users, you need the Enterprise plan with Qwilr ($59 per user), and it’s only available with annual plans, no monthly plans. Plus, the API access is a paid add-on.
Nusii is 7 times less expensive for the same number of users, comes with an API access, and can be paid monthly.
Cost comparison for 10 users$129/mo or $1290/year
$7080/year
Each new user on Qwilr is $59/mo!
Nusii only gets up to a bit more than $60 for 5 additional users. It’s almost the same as 1 user with Qwilr!
