Most people searching for Wix pricing want one answer: which plan do I actually need, and what will it cost? Prices differ by country and billing period, so a number printed in an article goes out of date quickly. What stays useful is knowing what each plan includes. This guide reflects the plans page on Wix's own website as we read it on October 19, 2026. Always check wix.com/plans for the current prices before you decide.
How Wix pricing works
Wix lets you build a site for free and choose a paid plan when you are ready. Every paid plan includes a custom domain, hosting, Wix's AI creation tools, 24/7 customer care and a 14-day money-back guarantee, and the paid plans come with a free domain for the first year. Wix displays prices for yearly subscriptions paid in full at purchase, with other subscription periods available, and the prices exclude taxes. The practical effect is that the monthly figure you see on a banner is not always what you pay if you choose to pay month to month.
The four paid plans
Light includes 2 GB of storage and 2 site collaborators. It does not include accepting payments, pay links, invoices or customer accounts. It suits a simple information site.
Core adds the ability to accept payments, basic eCommerce, scheduling and services, 50 GB of storage and 5 collaborators. On Wix's Pricing Plans feature the transaction fee is listed as 4 percent on this plan.
Business raises storage to 100 GB and collaborators to 10, with standard eCommerce, and the transaction fee on Pricing Plans is listed at 2 percent.
Business Elite offers unlimited storage, advanced eCommerce, an advanced developer platform, 100 collaborators, priority customer care and a 0 percent Pricing Plans transaction fee.
Which plan a small service business usually needs
Work backward from what your customers need to do on your site:
- If visitors only need to read about you and contact you, the lowest paid tier may be enough.
- If you want to take deposits or payments online, or offer scheduling, Wix lists those starting at Core.
- If you plan to sell products at volume or want lower fees, compare Business and Business Elite against the cost of your expected sales.
- If several people will edit the site, check the collaborator limit on each plan.
Write down your must-have features first, then match them to a plan. Do not choose a plan by its headline price alone.
Costs that sit outside the plan price
The plan is only part of the total. Consider the domain renewal after the first free year, any apps you add, and your own time. Wix includes AI creation tools, but you still decide the structure, review the wording and keep the site up to date, and the time that takes depends on how much you want to customize. Add that time to your estimate, even if you do not bill yourself for it.
Questions to ask before you pay
- What is the total for a year, with the plan I need, on the billing period I will really use?
- What happens to the price when the first term ends?
- Which features I need are included, and which are add-ons?
- How easy is it to move my domain and content if I change my mind?
A different way to pay for a website
Some owners would rather not build anything. websiites builds a complete site from a short description of your business and shows it to you before you pay. It is a monthly lease at $39, $79 or $149 depending on the plan, with hosting, SSL and unlimited rebuilds included and no long contract. It is a better fit for service businesses that want a finished site without learning a tool. It is not built for large online stores, and a builder like Wix is the better route if you need a full eCommerce setup.
The practical takeaway
The cheapest plan is rarely the right one, and the most expensive is rarely necessary. Match the plan to what your customers need to do, check the live price and read the renewal terms.
If you would like to see a finished site for your own business before paying anything, websiites will build one from a short description.
