Drag-and-drop website builder with an AI agent and business apps
Which one is for you
Pick Rocketspark if
- Fits if you want one monthly bill and a month-long trial first
- Works for a small business that wants Xero or Mailchimp connected
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you are on a budget: $29 a month is above what most site builders charge
- Skip it if you want a store, because Ecommerce Lite is $39 and stops at 10 products
- Watch out: cancelling takes the site offline, and data is kept for two months
- Watch out: extra users are $3 each a month, and payment is by card only
- Watch out: you cannot pause a subscription, but support can offer a reduced-price on-hold plan
Pick Wix if
- Fits if you take bookings, sell tickets or run a small shop from one site
- Works for beginners who build on the free plan first and pay once the site's ready
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you need to take payments, as that starts on Core at $29 a month billed yearly
- Tight if you run several sites, since each plan covers just one site
- Not for you if you want to try a paid plan first, as there's only a 14-day money-back guarantee
- Watch out: Wix's pages show only yearly prices, and monthly plans come without the free domain voucher or premium apps
- Tight if you stay free: a Wix address, Wix ads and 500 MB of storage and bandwidth
How we grade them
| 2.0GPARocketsparkFair | 2.8GPAWixGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$29 a month, or $299 a year, is above the category's dearer quarter of $22. AI writing and analytics start at $39, and the top website plan is $90. | 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 | CA 30-day trial with no payment details, and no free plan. | 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 | CTemplates, unlimited pages, forms, domain and email, and stores up to unlimited products. Forms are capped at 5 on the entry plan, and a store needs its own plan. | AMore built-in business tools than others 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. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You build pages and a store from templates. | B4.58 from about 16,800 App Store ratings. Thousands of templates and Aria drafting sections from a sentence get a site started, though with this much in it there's more to find your way around than in a simpler builder. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Mailchimp, Xero, Google Analytics and Google Workspace. | 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 | a New Zealand site builder with a month-to-month price | business sites with bookings, events and a shop |

Worth knowing
Rocketspark
- Extra users cost $3 per user a month.
- Cancelling takes the site offline; data is kept for two months.
- Payment is by credit or debit card only.
- Subscriptions cannot be paused; a reduced-price on-hold plan is available through support.
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.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
