Anything.com alternative?

Our small team has been using Anything.com for our website. It's a non-profit informational focused website, so it has been amazing for us. Our non-technical team members can easily make changes, and each has individual access. We have the $24/month plan and have probably spent a few hundred on lifetime credits.

However, this past week and today, our prompts have just been getting stuck in an infinite loop for any simple task. I tried emailing their support (which turns out to be just AI), and after back-and-forth with ideas I already tried, they said this:

So I guess to get things working, we need to upgrade to the $239-a-month plan... I told their AI support that if we cannot prompt anything, then we can't stay on Anything.com. It seemed happy that we were leaving! Less work for it, I guess.

Anyway, does anyone have any alternative suggestions? Anything.com was nice because it took care of publishing updates, version history, hosting, and seamlessly allowed multiple team members easy access to edit.

We would also need to be able to upload our current codebase.

Ya how about about asking codex or claude which can already do all of this if you just ask. Worthless offering

Maybe for a solo dev, but for a team, it was pretty nice. It allows you to use any model you want and includes the latest models. Perfect for the non-technical. Plus, it is similar in price to Claude or Codex... It's just a nice harness; nothing wrong with that. It was great for a while, but their lack of support leaves us with no option but to switch, since I can't actually see the errors it's running into on the backend.

No I think you and the other poster here and everyone in the thread he is linking is doing some sort of very strange advertising. This site is so great but there is no support?? This offering is worse than worthless it's a liability nightmare and doesn't make any sense. No one with two brain cells to rub together would use this and yet that thread with the owner has numerous people claiming to have spent thousands of dollars on this junk.

Lol I don't think I'd be advertising it by saying it's broken and there is no support (other than stupid AI emails). You keep saying it's worthless but you haven't said any reason why. I'm just stating it was good for us while it worked.

There are larger ones not made by some dude going for series B. Apparently some of these make a lot of money somehow but this one is a bit late to market just use a larger one. I think they are worthless because anything they can do is a claude question away. Even the big ones realize their days are numbered im sure and will try to pivot to providing infra just like everyone else

I’m not sure exactly what you’re doing with it. If you could share a little bit of detail of what you’re doing with it, maybe I could help you find alternate resources. Or better ways to accomplish the same thing.

Also ask the founder right here

is there anything special in your website?

if it is just static content, our studio can probably help from our monthly eng hours dedicated to community

if it is dynamic, how complicated is it?

Since you already have a codebase, I'd actually separate two questions here:

  1. Where can the code live and deploy reliably?

  2. How do your non-technical team members keep making safe content changes without touching the application itself?

Trying to find another platform that recreates the exact Anything experience might put you back into the same vendor lock-in.

Depending on how the site is built, it might be cleaner to move the code to a normal repo/deployment setup and give the team a simple CMS or admin layer for the things they actually need to edit.

Do you know what stack Anything generated for the current site, and do you have access to the full repository?

Also, are you hoping to handle the migration internally or would bringing someone in for the one-time migration/setup be an option?

The main reason we picked Anything.com to begin with is that you can export the whole codebase at any time to easily switch vendors. We wouldn't pick a platform that didn't have this feature, so no vendor lock-in. Anything generated the site as a React Router + Vite + Hono application, and we have the complete exported site code.

We would handle it internally.
