Pros and cons

Wix

Best for: People who want to design by hand with many built-in tools

Price: Light $17, Core $29, Business $39, Business Elite $159 a month on annual billing (US, Sept 2026)

Pros: Free plan; 14-day money-back guarantee on premium upgrades; Large app market

Cons: Domain free only in year one; Paid apps add up; Prices vary by region

We.Inc

Best for: People who want to describe a site or web app in plain English and have AI build it

Price: Free plan: up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address, no AI. AI building from $20/mo (Starter, 250 credits). Pro $50/mo, Max $99/mo.

Pros: Describe what you want in chat and AI builds a full, editable site or app; Edit by clicking on the page, by asking in chat, or in a real code editor; Export the React and TypeScript code to GitHub, so you are never locked in; Unlimited sites on paid plans, custom domains from Starter

Cons: The free plan is templates only; AI building needs a paid plan; Newer platform with a smaller app marketplace than the big names; Store features are simpler than a dedicated ecommerce platform

What does Wix cost after the first year?

The plan price is not an introductory rate, but the domain is: Wix includes a domain free for one year on paid plans, then you pay the domain renewal. Budget for that plus any paid apps, business email and payment processing fees. Monthly billing costs more than annual.

What add-ons increase the cost of Wix?

The usual extras are a domain renewal after year one, business email (sold separately, such as Google Workspace from $7 per user a month on flexible billing), paid apps from the Wix App Market, premium templates, and card processing fees on store sales. None are required for a basic site.

Is Wix worth it compared with We.Inc?

Wix suits people who like to design every block themselves. We.Inc suits people who would rather describe the business and let AI write the site: free for 3 template sites on a we.inc address, or $20 a month for AI building with a custom domain. Both are fair choices.
