How we grade them
| 2.0GPAJimdoFair | 2.8GPAWixGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStart is $11 a month for one site on yearly billing ($12 monthly, $10 on a 2-year term), with a domain, no ads and invoicing. That's just over this category's cheapest quarter ($9), so it lands in the ordinary middle. | CLight is $17 a month for one site on yearly billing, with your own domain, no Wix ads and 2 GB, so it sits mid-range for this category. But it can't take payments or bookings, and Wix's own blog points small businesses to Core at $29, where this category's dearest tenth starts. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free Play plan does more than most: 5 pages, 5 GB, bookings and payment links. But it's on a jimdosite.com address with one smart form, so a business will want to move up. | CThere's a free plan with the full editor and the AI agent, but it runs on a Wix address with Wix ads and 500 MB of storage. Fine for trying ideas, not for a business. Paid plans have no trial, just a 14-day money-back guarantee. |
| Features | CAI-written sites, bookings with online payment, payment links, invoices, smart forms and a local listings add-on. The gaps are in the listing: Start allows 10 pages and Grow 50, and selling products needs a separate store plan. | AThe widest set of built-in business tools in this category: a store, bookings, events, restaurant orders and hotel reservations, an AI agent called Aria, an app market and a headless developer platform. Few rivals come close. |
| Ease of use | CNo app store rating on record. Describing your business to the AI gets you a first draft quickly, but there's still a site, a booking calendar and invoices to set up. | B4.58 from about 16,800 App Store ratings. Thousands of templates and Aria drafting sections from a sentence make the start easy, though with this much in it there's more to find your way around than in a simpler builder. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, and what it connects to is mostly Google Ads, Google Maps, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. No phone or desktop app, and no API in the listing. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with an app market of Wix and outside apps such as QuickBooks Online and TikTok Ads, plus an API and Wix Headless. No desktop app, so not an A. |
| Best for | solo businesses that take bookings and send invoices | business sites with bookings, events and a shop |

Who each one suits
Jimdo
- Solo businesses that want a site, bookings and invoices in one account
- Coaches, therapists and trades that take appointments online
- People who would rather describe their business than design pages
Wix
- Beginners who want to start free and upgrade when the site is ready
- Small businesses that take bookings, sell tickets or run a small store
- People who want an AI agent to draft pages they can still edit by hand
Worth knowing
Jimdo
- Start allows only 10 pages and Grow 50, so a larger site needs Unlimited at $49.50 a month billed yearly.
- Selling products needs one of the separate store plans; the website plans cover bookings, payment links and invoices only.
- Support response times depend on the plan: 1 to 2 workdays on Start, 24 hours on Grow and 12 hours on Unlimited.
- Jimdo's premium page advertises plans from $9 a month, but the lowest US price its pricing data shows is $10 a month on a 2-year Start term.
Wix
- Light has no online payments; selling anything needs Core at $29 a month or higher.
- Monthly billing exists, but Wix's pages show only yearly prices, and monthly plans come without the free domain voucher or premium apps.
- Each plan upgrades a single site, so running several sites means buying a plan for each.
- There is no free trial of paid plans; Wix offers a 14-day money-back guarantee instead.
