How we grade them
| 2.4GPAWeeblyFair | 2.8GPAWixGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CProfessional is $15 a month on yearly billing ($20 monthly), and that's the plan a business would buy, since it's the first without Square ads. That's bang in the middle of what site builders charge. Personal at $13 puts your domain on but keeps the ads. | 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 | BFree for good, and it's a real site: SSL, SEO tools, lead capture forms and a store with unlimited items, coupons and inventory. The catches are Square ads and no custom domain, so a business will pay sooner or later. | 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 | CPages, a blog and a store with inventory, coupons, shipping labels and digital goods, plus an App Center. The basics, done. But payments go through Square unless you're on Performance, where PayPal and abandoned cart emails live, and nothing in the listing covers bookings or memberships. | 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. Dragging elements onto themes that adjust for phones is about as gentle as it gets, but you're still building a whole site, pages, products and all, before it's ready. | 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 | BA web app that ties into Square, PayPal, Instagram and Facebook, with an App Center of third-party add-ons inside the editor. No desktop or phone app is listed. | 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 | small shops already taking payments with Square | business sites with bookings, events and a shop |

Who each one suits
Weebly
- Small shops that already take payments with Square
- A simple store or site at no cost, if Square ads are acceptable
- Small businesses that want phone support on a low-priced plan
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
Weebly
- The free plan shows Square ads and cannot use a custom domain; ads are removed only from Professional up.
- PayPal payments, item reviews and abandoned cart emails are limited to Performance; other plans take payments through Square.
- The included domain is a credit for one year on annual plans and must be registered within 45 days of buying the plan.
- Unlimited storage, advanced site stats and password protection start on Professional; digital goods and shipping labels need Personal or higher.
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.
