Oleh KemWix Pricing and Plans in August 2026: Free, Light, Core, Business, Business Elite and Enterprise Costs
Wix costs $17 a month on Light, $29 on Core, $39 on Business and $159 on Business Elite, as of . Each one is a year bought in a single payment of $204 to $1,908. Enterprise is quote only. Free keeps the Wix ads, the Wix address and no domain of your own.
Those yearly rates cover a first year. Wix states that renewal may differ and puts no figure next to the claim. The bundled domain runs out after twelve months, and tax is added at checkout according to your billing address. Treat the advertised rate as an opening price.
The harder question is what each rung unlocks. Card payments and bookings start on Core, the standard store on Business, the developer platform on Business Elite. Six charges sit outside the advertised rate, and the $17 entry lands under the $19 midpoint of the twenty-one builders we price. Six dated checks stand behind these rates and not one of them has moved.
This page prices Wix the website builder, sold at wix.com. Wix Studio, the platform Wix sells to agencies and freelancers, publishes its own plans and is not priced here.

Vendor pricing pageWix plan steps: three cheap rungs, then $1,440 a year to the top
Four steps up the published plans, and only one of them is expensive.
Yearly totals as the vendor publishes them, for a first year.
What a Wix site costs you: one subscription, bought by the year
What your line costs on the published rates
That is one site's subscription in full. Collaborators ride along unbilled, so nothing here moves with headcount.
6 dated reads of the same plans page stand behind the figure.
Where the bill sits above the advertised rate
Nothing else in the published plans touches this line. The domain renewal and your local tax sit outside it.
What is in your bill that the advertised rate does not price
2 GB on Light, 50 GB on Core, 100 GB on Business, unlimited only at the top. Editing rights cost nothing at any rung: two people, then five, ten and a hundred. The ceiling that bites first is the media library.
Every paid plan bundles a domain for twelve months and Wix prints no renewal price for it. The same silence covers the plan itself. The advertised rate is first-year pricing, and nothing on the page says what the second year costs.
Tax is excluded from every figure here and worked out from your billing address. Wix also publishes USD for reference only and varies prices by location, so the amount you are actually charged is confirmed on the purchase page.
Where your rate sits against the category
Your line sits below the $19 midpoint of the builders we price. Wix is priced like the middle of its category right up to the last rung.
One set of plans covers most of the category: entry money at Light, more than the category ceiling at Business Elite.
The configuration we would sign off
Buy the rung that matches what the site has to do, then argue about the cycle.
The calculator reads published rates only: the first-year yearly pricing, one site to a subscription, and no renewal figure at all, because Wix publishes none.
Open wix.com pricingWhich Wix plan you need: what the site sells decides the rung
| Your case | Plan | Why this one |
|---|---|---|
| Trying the editor before any money changes handsa weekend draft, a template you want to poke at, a site nobody has to find | Free Free | Hosting and the editor cost nothing, and two things stop it being a real site: Wix ads sit on the page and your own domain is a paid-tier feature. Nothing here runs on a clock, so the wall is what the plan cannot do rather than when it stops. |
| A brochure site that has to live on its own addressa studio page, a restaurant, anything a client judges by the URL | Light $17 a month, billed as $204 for the year | The domain is the whole reason to leave Free, and it comes with the plan for one year. Storage stops at 2 GB and two collaborators can edit, which is fine until a photographer signs up. There is no cheaper way onto a paid tier: $204 is the smallest committed line on the plans page. |
| The site takes money or bookingsa shop with a short catalogue, paid classes, an appointment calendar | Core $29 a month, billed as $348 for the year | Accepting payments starts here, along with scheduling and the basic store. Light cannot take a card at any price, so this is the real entry for anyone selling. The step from Light costs $144 a year and lifts storage to 50 GB with five collaborators. |
| Selling is the point of the site, not a sidelinea growing catalogue, automated sales tax, dropshipping | Business $39 a month, billed as $468 for the year | The standard store, 100 GB and ten collaborators. At $120 a year over Core this is the cheapest step Wix sells. Our catalog record puts automated sales tax at 500 transactions a month and dropshipping at 250 products, which is where the tier stops being generous. |
| A build with developers on itcustom code, an advanced store, a hundred people with editing rights | Business Elite $159 a month, billed as $1,908 for the year | The advanced developer platform and unlimited storage live here, with 100 collaborators. The step is $1,440 a year, a 308 percent jump on Business, and it is the only move here that needs a written reason before anyone signs it. |
| Several sites under one contract, with a demo firstmultisite management, a procurement review, a security questionnaire | Enterprise quote only | Wix publishes no rate and no minimum for it. The route in is a booked demo, and the material around it names security assessments and large-scale build support rather than a price. Business Elite at $1,908 a year is the last figure anyone outside the call can verify. |
Wix cost by editors: two on Light, a hundred on Business Elite
Published rates only, one site to a subscription. Nothing here counts the domain after its bundled year, because Wix does not price it.
Wix Enterprise pricing: no rate published, and a demo is the door
Enterprise is the one Wix tier with no number attached to it. The route in is a booked demo, and what the surrounding material names is multisite management, security review and large-scale build support rather than a rate.
- Multisite management, which is the one thing a per-site subscription cannot do
- Security assessments and the paperwork procurement wants before a signature
- Build support at a scale the self-serve tiers are not staffed for
- The renewal rate. The plans page says prices are first-year and stops the sentence there.
- What the bundled domain costs in year two, on any extension.
- Any figure for Enterprise, including the smallest account Wix will sell it to.
Business Elite at $1,908 a year is the published ceiling and the only figure you can hold them to. Ask what the second year costs while you are in the room, because the plans page never prints it.

Price check history
Each read of the published rates is on the record with its date. Across 6 of them the three plans held.
We watched from spring 2026 onward and claim nothing about the years before that. six reads, no movement.
Where this rate sits in the category
21 website builders tools priced by one method. Entry rates run $4.50 to $97 a month, and the middle sits at $19.
Every calibration point was read the same way and on the same pass, August 2026.
Six charges that sit outside the advertised rate
Sorted by how much each one adds once the site is live.Every advertised rate is a first-year rate
Wix's own small print says the displayed prices apply to the first year and that renewal may differ. No renewal figure appears anywhere on the plans page. So the second year of a $204 Light subscription is a number nobody can quote you today, and that is the single largest unknown in this whole price list.
There is no monthly rate to fall back on
Wix advertises yearly subscriptions paid in full at purchase, and a monthly option whose price the plans page never shows. We publish none, because none is published. The practical effect is that the smallest paid commitment here is $204 handed over on day one.
The free domain lasts twelve months
Every paid plan includes a domain for one year. Year two is billed separately at a rate the plans page does not carry. Budget for a renewal you have not been shown, and check what the specific extension costs before you register it rather than after.
Tax is added on top, and the currency follows your address
The displayed price excludes tax, which Wix works out from your billing address. The company also states that USD figures are shown for reference and that prices vary by location. Anyone outside the United States should treat every number on this page as an indication and read the real one at checkout.
Storage is a tier property, and 2 GB goes fast
Light holds 2 GB, Core 50 GB, Business 100 GB, and only Business Elite is unlimited. A photo gallery or a video header can spend the Light allowance in an afternoon. Storage is the quietest reason people buy a rung they had not planned on.
Agency work is a different product
Wix Studio is sold to agencies and freelancers on its own terms, and nothing about it is priced on the plans page these rates come from. If you run client sites, the plans priced here are not the ones you will end up on.
What Wix leaves off its own plans page
Three questions every buyer meets inside a year, and the vendor answers none of them in public.
- 01The renewal rate. The plans page says prices are first-year and stops the sentence there.
- 02What the bundled domain costs in year two, on any extension.
- 03Any figure for Enterprise, including the smallest account Wix will sell it to.
Wix billing and commitment terms
| Site collaborator | Someone with editing rights on the site. Two on Light, five on Core, ten on Business, a hundred on Business Elite, and none of them is charged for. |
| Yearly subscription | The only cycle Wix puts a price on. Paid in full at purchase, and quoted on the plans page as a per-month figure. |
| First-year pricing | The displayed rate applies to the first year. Wix states renewal may differ and publishes no figure for it. |
| Free domain year | One year of a custom domain with any paid plan. Year two is billed separately, at a price not shown on the plans page. |
| Money-back guarantee | 14 days from purchase on the paid tiers. A refund window, not a trial and not an offer price. |
| Taxes and currency | Prices exclude tax, which follows your billing address, and USD figures are published for reference only. Checkout shows the charge you will actually pay. |
Wix pricing against WordPress.com, Duda and Glide: three jobs, three winners
Wix against three builders that beat it on three different grounds: price, agency work, and applications.
| The job | Wix | The rival | Our verdict on this job |
|---|---|---|---|
| A brochure site on a domain you ownFive pages, a contact form, nothing for sale. | Light $17/mo= $17 a month for youdomain bundled for the first year | WordPress.com $7.5/site/mo= $7.50 a month for youcheapest complete plan range in the category | WordPress.com, cheaper at the doorWordPress.com Personal is $4 a month on its annual cycle against $17 for Wix Light. What the gap buys is an editor a non-technical owner can drive on the first afternoon, and for some buyers that is worth $13 a month. |
| Ten client sites from one accountAn agency's client list rather than one company's website. | Light $17/mo= $17 a month for youone subscription for every site | Duda $52/mo= $52 a month for youfour sites included, the rest metered | Duda, for ten sites at onceDuda Agency holds four sites for $52 a month on annual and meters each extra one at $168 a year. Wix bills a whole subscription per site, so ten projects means ten renewal dates, and Wix Studio is the answer Wix itself would give. |
| An internal tool sitting on a spreadsheetData in, logic in the middle, no marketing pages at all. | Core $29/mo= $29 a month for youa website with a store bolted on | Glide $49/mo= $49 a month for youapp tiers, priced for what they run | Glide, on scopeGlide Maker at $49 a month on annual builds the application; Wix builds the page in front of one. Past a form and a database view the site builder is the wrong shape, and the money should follow the shape. |

BuildShipSwitching to Wix from WordPress.com, Duda or Glide: no importer waits
What each move onto Wix costs, and the thing that tends to break halfway.
WordPress.com
WordPress.com costs $7.50 a month where Wix Light costs $17.WordPress.com exports posts cleanly and Wix has no importer waiting for them. Pages get rebuilt by hand here, and a long blog archive is the part that hurts.
- Rebuild the three pages that earn their keep first. The free tier is enough to judge whether the editor suits you.
- Weigh the media against 2 GB on Light. A photo-heavy archive lands on Core at $348 a year for storage alone.
- Move the domain last, and note that the bundled year covers a new registration rather than one you already hold.
Duda
Duda is $52 a month against $29 on the Wix tier you would land on.Duda counts websites inside the plan and Wix counts one site per subscription. A portfolio of client projects gets dearer here rather than cheaper, which is exactly why Wix sells Studio somewhere else.
- Count the projects before anything else. Four sites on Duda Agency become four Wix subscriptions with four renewal dates.
- Expect no import path in either direction, so budget rebuild time for each site rather than a migration tool.
- Ask about Wix Studio before you move a single page, because the agency product is priced away from these plans.
Glide
Glide runs $49 a month, and $29 buys the Wix tier you would replace it with.Glide holds application logic and data that has nowhere to land in a site builder. The public pages move across; the tool behind them does not.
- Leave the application where it runs and rebuild only the pages the public sees.
- Put the app on a subdomain of the same address so nothing has to be rewritten twice.
- Price Core at $348 a year if those pages take payments, because Light cannot take one at any price.
Is Wix worth it: a fair entry price and one very steep top rung
Updated
4.3 of 5
Wix opens at $17 a month on Light, which is $204 handed over at once, against a $19 midpoint across the twenty-one builders we price. That is an ordinary entry price for an unusually complete editor. The steps are where it gets interesting: $144 to reach payments, $120 more for the standard store, then $1,440 a year to reach Business Elite. Three cheap steps and one expensive one.
Our own logic inverts at the top rung. Below it, each step buys something a small business can name, and the money is easy to justify. Business Elite is a developer platform sold at four times the price of the tier under it, and most buyers who reach for it want one feature from the list. The other soft spot is the shape of the commitment. A first year with no published second year, bought twelve months at a time, is a decision made half blind. Start on the rung you can defend.
- You need a price you can hold for three yearsrenewal terms are unpublished, so no honest forecast past month twelve exists.
- You want to test a paid tier for a monthno monthly rate is published, and the entry ticket is a $204 year.
- You run client sites for a livingWix Studio is the product built for that, sold on separate terms this page does not carry.
- You want custom code cheaplythe developer platform arrives at Business Elite, $1,908 a year, with nothing between it and Business.
