Which one is for you
Pick Vistaprint Websites if
- Fits if you already shop at Vistaprint and want a site under the same login
- Works for people who want Wix's editor with a template to start from
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price before you commit, because none is published
- Watch out: sites are built and run on Wix, and signing up means accepting Wix's terms
- Watch out: Vista and Wix share account data
- Watch out: a custom domain and business email are separate items with prices on other pages
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
| 2.0GPAVistaprint WebsitesFair | 2.8GPAWixGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe page publishes no plan prices, so nothing can be set against the category's $6.75 to $22 a month. | 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 page says you can create a site for free, but not what the free site includes or where it stops. | 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 | C900+ templates, an AI builder, a drag-and-drop editor, SEO tools, a store and a blog. The page does not list limits, so the gaps are not visible. | 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 pick a template or an AI draft and then edit it. | 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 | CWeb only, with only Google Search Console named as a connection. | 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 Wix-built site from a print shop's account | business sites with bookings, events and a shop |

Worth knowing
Vistaprint Websites
- The page publishes no plan prices, so the cost of a paid plan or a custom domain is not confirmed here.
- Sites are built and run on Wix; signing up means accepting Wix's terms, and Vista and Wix share account data.
- Vistaprint pages also offer a custom domain and business email as separate items, with prices on other pages.
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.

More comparisons
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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
