Wix vs Weebly: which is better in 2026?

Weebly is now a Square product with a short, simple plan list and a store that ties into Square payments. Wix keeps adding AI and business tools. For many readers the real question is whether to stay on Weebly at all.

Should you pick Weebly or Wix in 2026?

Weebly still sells four plans: Free, Personal at $13, Professional at $15 and Performance at $32 a month billed annually, or $16, $20 and $36 month to month. Every tier, even the free one, includes a shopping cart with unlimited items, coupons and an automatic tax calculator. Its footer credits Square, Inc., and the store is built around Square payments and gift cards.

Wix costs more at the bottom, with Light at $17, Core at $29, Business at $39 and Business Elite at $159 a month on yearly billing, and payments begin at Core. In return you get a freer editor, AI page generation on every plan and scheduling tools.

Choose Weebly for a small, low-cost store run on Square. Choose Wix if the site needs bookings or more design control. A third option is We.Inc, which writes the site from your description; its free tier is three template sites without AI, and AI plans start at $20 a month.

Weebly's regional wind-down

Square has told Weebly customers in a list of countries that the service is ending there, according to a migration notice published by Network Solutions, a Weebly reseller. Dates reported by different sources do not match, and the reports we found did not list the US, UK, Canada, Australia or western Europe among the affected countries. If you are outside those regions, find the official notice in your Weebly dashboard before building anything new.

For users in unaffected countries, Weebly's pricing page still lists all four plans as of October 17, 2026, with no sign of withdrawal.

Where each one is stronger for selling

Weebly gives store basics to everyone: unlimited items, item options, quick shop, inventory, coupons, in-store pickup and Square gift cards appear on the free plan. Digital goods, a shipping calculator and shipping labels come from Personal. Performance adds PayPal, item reviews, abandoned cart emails and advanced eCommerce insights.

Wix starts selling at Core with basic eCommerce, and lifts that to standard on Business and advanced on Business Elite. It wins when a business sells services and appointments as well as products, because scheduling is in the same plans.

Weebly is the right call if

You run a small retail business on Square and want the website to share its payments and gift cards. Your site is a handful of pages plus a product list. Low cost matters most, and the Professional plan at $15 a month on annual billing covers a custom domain without ads.

Wix is the right call if

You want room to grow into bookings, a larger site or more collaborators. You want AI to draft pages and a canvas to rearrange them freely. You are in a country where Weebly is winding down and need a long-term home.

Getting a site out of Weebly

Weebly's site archive, described in Square community and host guides, downloads a ZIP of static pages and uploaded images. It does not carry blog posts, store products or form data in a usable way, and the archive cannot be imported into Wix. Save blog text and product details separately before you cancel.

From Wix in the other direction, its help center offers CSV downloads of products, contacts and CMS collections, while blog posts have no export tool. In both cases you rebuild the design on the new platform.

Before you move, record each page address and reuse the same paths on the new site so existing links and search listings keep working. We.Inc can take the address of your published Weebly site and rebuild an editable version from it, which is often the fastest way out if your region is losing service.

Frequently asked questions

Is Weebly cheaper than Wix?

Yes. Weebly's paid plans are $13, $15 and $32 a month on annual billing, against $17, $29, $39 and $159 for Wix. Weebly also lets you sell on its free plan, while Wix requires Core at $29 to accept payments. Wix includes more design freedom and scheduling tools for the extra money.

Is Weebly shutting down?

Not everywhere. Square has notified Weebly users in a set of countries that service is ending there, but Weebly's pricing page still listed all plans on October 17, 2026, and reports we found did not list the US, UK, Canada or Australia as affected. Check the notice in your own dashboard for your country's dates.

Can I move my Weebly site to Wix automatically?

No. Wix cannot import a Weebly archive, so you copy text and images across and rebuild pages in the Wix editor. Products can be re-entered or imported into Wix Stores from a spreadsheet you prepare. Keep your page addresses the same where possible, then point your domain at Wix.

Which is easier for a complete beginner?

Weebly, usually. You drop blocks into a fixed layout and there are fewer settings. Wix offers more control and AI drafting, which helps once you know what you want but can feel busy at first. Both have free plans, so trying each for an afternoon costs nothing.
