Wix Pricing Overview

I needed to get a website online ASAP - with zero experience! After a lot of research, I came across Wix (with the help of Ai of course). From registering to publishing my website took less than 6 hours, that's how simple it is to use. I now log into the console daily, tweaking my website but also monitoring the traffic to the website. Even with the basic plan I'm using, the analytics are pretty impressive. Designing the website pages, adding photos, and links to social media was a breeze. They also have a host of apps that integrate easily with Wix. I've used 2 already. If you need help, customer support is just a click away, with a live chat option as well. I never thought launching my very own website would be so easy. I'm well and truly impressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial pricing guide is a little misleading, especially if you are a total newbie. The monthly subscription is pretty reasonable. Only after you've paid for the subscription, they inform you that you need to pay an annual domain registration fee which is like 3x the subscription price (it is for 12 months tough).

It's become a fully-integrated marketing platform (lite version)... so if you need bare minimum CRM, email marketing, shopping cart, etc. with a no-code website builder it's not a bad place to start and their template library is pretty good. But that is also why it's not a great platform if you think your business will grow - none of the tools are as robust as something else - sort of a jack-of-all-trades platform that's not great at any of it but can be an okay entry point.

Their live chat is also pretty responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All of their tech is okay but not great. For example: their email marketing is okay but not as good as Mailchimp/competitors that specialize in email, their CRM is better than nothing, but not as good as Pipedrive/NutshellCRM or other SMB-targeted CRMs (not even talking about Hubspot which I consider more for larger orgs). And their web builder is good, with good templates and decent capabilities, but not as intuitive/easy to use as Webflow, Squarespace or Tilda - and doesn't have near the SEO capabilities or tech customization native in Webflow or Tilda.

In short, you can get okay ecommerce, but would be better off with Shopify or BigCommerce. You can get okay email marketing and CRM but would be better off getting specialized apps and then dropping their form fields into your site. You can build a decent website with Wix, but for advanced and custom design/integrations/actions as you grow your business - and better SEO tools - you'd be better off with Webflow or Tilda.

Additionally, in my opinion, they've gotten more scammy over time as their tech has been surpassed by competitors. I used to build client sites in Wix all the time (between 2016 - 2019 I built 5 client sites plus my own there)... but they've instituted hidden upcharges, confusing subscription plans and a super shady renewal practice where they bill you 14 days before your renewal ends and then tell you it can't be refunded even if you cancel before your newly-purhcased-but-not-wanted renewal starts. I don't like doing business with companies I feel like are trying to screw me so I'd have stopped using them for that reason alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
