Wix over 3 years: $5,040.
We're $895 (migrate) or $695 (new).
You do the math.
Every website builder looks cheap in month one. By year three, you're paying for apps you don't want, storage you don't need, and a platform that owns your customers. Perfect SEO, AI-crawlable content, adapts as SEO rules change — that's what discnxt gives you. Here's what "affordable" actually costs.
Side by side. No spin.
All competitor prices sourced from published 2026 annual billing rates. DD prices are fixed. No hidden fees, no app store, no transaction charges.

Three reasons the "cheap" platform costs more.
The App Tax
Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy all sell you a base plan. Then they sell you the features that make it useful — email marketing ($10–50/mo), scheduling ($15–50/mo), premium storage, SEO boosts, custom fonts. By the time your site does what you need, you're paying 2–3x the advertised price.
DD: One price. All features included.
The Migration Trap
Switch platforms today and you're rebuilding from scratch. Your content, your SEO rankings, your design — locked in a proprietary builder. The cost to leave is so high that most businesses never do. That's the business model.
DD: Your site is hand-coded, portable HTML/CSS/JS. You can take it anywhere, edit it with any tool, host it on any server. We want you to stay because we earn it, not because we trap you.
Your Data Is The Product
Wix is owned by an ad platform. GoDaddy has been breached multiple times. Squarespace's terms grant them a license to your content. The "free" or "cheap" plan costs you your customers' privacy and your business data.
DD: Your AI runs on your device. Your site has zero trackers. Your data never touches our servers. Privacy isn't a feature — it's the architecture.
What are you actually paying for?
A website builder gives you a template and a monthly bill.
Digital Disconnections gives you a custom website, an AI agent that works for you, and total ownership of both.
One is a rental. The other is yours.

Note: Under the new 3-year prepaid model, discnxt is now cheaper than GoDaddy too — and you own the site, your data is yours, and the AI tools are a dedicated edit agent, not marketing automation. The question isn't "cheapest" — it's "what do you get?"

Frequently Asked Questions
GoDaddy's base plan is cheaper. The difference is ownership and privacy. With GoDaddy, you're renting space on their platform. With DD, you own a custom-built website and a local AI agent. Over 3+ years, the gap narrows — and when you factor in the value of an AI agent that handles customer inquiries, content generation, and scheduling, the ROI flips.
Your site is standard HTML/CSS/JS. Take the files to any host, any developer, any platform that accepts static sites. No export fees, no proprietary format, no hostage situation.
All figures use published 2026 annual billing rates from each platform's official pricing page. App costs are based on the most common premium add-ons for a typical small business site. Transaction fees assume ~$2K/mo in sales. Your actual costs may vary — but the structural difference (owned vs. rented) doesn't change.
Answers customer questions, drafts content, manages scheduling, handles email triage — all on your local machine. No data leaves your computer. It's like having an employee who works for free, runs on electricity, and respects your customers' privacy because it physically cannot leak their data. Included in your 3-year term — no separate subscription.
Correct. 3-year prepaid only. $195 every 3 years works out to about $5.42/month — less than a single Wix app. The prepaid model is intentional: it means we don't need to monetize your attention, your data, or your upsells to survive. You're the customer, not the product.
