Who makes changes after launch
Curb
We do, or your own AI does. Ask in chat, approve the preview, it ships — usually within the hour.
GoDaddy Website Builder
You do, in the editor.
What the AI does
Curb
Builds the site, makes the changes you ask for, and keeps the stack current. A person owns the judgment calls.
GoDaddy Website Builder
GoDaddy Airo builds a site from a few prompts; then edit it yourself, on monthly AI credits.
Take your site with you
Curb
Full source code, yours after one paid month.
GoDaddy Website Builder
Backups restore inside the builder. A file export is not documented by GoDaddy.
llms.txt and MCP

llms.txt, a facts file and a public MCP endpoint on every site.

Curb
None. No plugins; static pages on a CDN.

Which one is right for you
Where GoDaddy is the better pick
- Much lower introductory price on an annual term.
- Domain, professional email and email marketing in the same bundle.
- Built-in commerce and appointment booking on its Commerce plan.
Where Curb is the better pick
- Changes made for you by Curb's AI or your own, instead of in an editor.
- Full source code export. GoDaddy documents backups that restore inside the builder, not a file export.
- llms.txt, a facts file and a public MCP server on every site.
- Published prices with no introductory rate to renew out of.
Moving from GoDaddy to Curb
Keep your domain at GoDaddy if you like — we connect it either way. Only the website moves.
The migrate track reads every page of your GoDaddy site and rebuilds it as it is on Curb's stack. Or pick the rebuild track and we design a new one first.
Every old URL is kept where it can be and 301-redirected where it changes, and titles, descriptions and structured data come across — so search rankings come with you.
The migrate track carries a one-time fee of $199 on Standard or $399 on Pro, refunded if you are not happy with the move within 14 days.
Questions
Do I have to move my domain away from GoDaddy?
No. Your domain can stay registered at GoDaddy; we only change where it points. Your GoDaddy email keeps working — we check the mail records before anything moves.
Why is Curb more expensive than GoDaddy?
GoDaddy's price is for the builder; the work is yours. Curb is $29/month and includes building the site, then $20 of Curb AI edits a month, then unlimited edits with your own AI.
Can Curb copy my GoDaddy site exactly?
Yes — that is the migrate track. Same design, same pages, on a faster stack, with redirects for any URL that changes.
