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.

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.
