MUNIBIT VS. COMPETITORS
How Munibit Compares to Custom Developers & Other Website Platforms
Trusted by hundreds of municipalities and counties, serving millions of residents across the United States
WHY MUNIBIT
Simpler. More affordable.
Built for local governments.
Choosing a website provider is a big decision, especially for local governments with limited time, staff, and technical resources. Your website needs to be easy for residents to use, simple for staff to manage, and built with accessibility, transparency, and long-term support in mind.
Munibit was built specifically for cities, towns, villages, boroughs, townships, counties, and special districts that need a modern website without a complicated process. We combine the platform, website build, hosting, basic migration, training, and ongoing support into one managed service, so your team doesn’t have to piece together separate vendors, plugins, hosting, or technical tools.
With Munibit, your website is built, managed, and supported in one place.
One Platform, Everything Included

HOW WE COMPARE
How Munibit Compares
Here is how Munibit stacks up against custom developers and other website platforms on what actually matters to small municipal staff.
WHO IT’S FOR
Built for small local governments
Many website providers serve local governments, but not all are built around the needs of smaller communities.
Small local governments often have limited staff, limited time, and limited technical resources. A clerk, administrator, manager, or department head may be responsible for keeping the website updated on top of everything else they already do.
Munibit is built for that reality. We make it easier to manage pages, documents, agendas, minutes, notices, forms, alerts, calendars, and contact information without needing a developer or IT department.
**Optional add-on service: text message notifications ($250/yr for up to 2,500 texts) Additional blocks $150/yr. Everything else below is included.

DEDICATED SUPPORT
Support that feels personal
With many other providers, support can feel like a ticket queue. You submit a request, wait for a response, and may not always know who is handling the issue.
Munibit gives each local government one dedicated account manager for the website build, training, and ongoing support, a real person who understands your website, your goals, and your local government's needs.
