Wix Pricing Plans Dashboard

Over the last few years Wix has become a well-known and popular website builder tool. Currently hosting over 110 million websites, Wix is clearly a popular option.

It's easy to use, runs in your browser so there's no need to download any software, and it also provides its own hosting. It also provides a wealth of other features and benefits to its premium users, from a free domain for a year, AdWords vouchers, and form builders, among many more.

But do you get what you pay for?

I'll look at Wix's pricing structure and unpack what you're offered on each plan. I'll explore whether you get a good deal on each price point, or whether you might find a better deal elsewhere.

Wix Pricing Plans

Price Plans Differ Depending on Your Geo-Location

Before we delve into Wix's price plans, I should be clear about their range of price structures.

These variations occur on an international level. So, for example, if you're logging into Wix within the UK you'll be offered a choice of 7 price plans, but in India, you'll only be offered one premium option.

💡 Important Note:

What's even more frustrating is that you can only access the price plan for the geo-location you're in at the time of accessing their website. This means pricing can vary significantly based on where you're located.

Yet, in Canada, you're offered 6 plans which are costed in USD rather than Canadian Dollars. But it gets even more complicated in the U.S. Rather than offering one standard price structure, there are also local variations within the country.

Wix Pricing Tiers Comparison

"You can only view which types of Premium Plans are available for you personally when upgrading your site to premium. The cost of a Wix Premium Plan differs depending on a number of factors, including the type of Premium Plan, your local currency, the number of years selected, the use of vouchers or sales, and your local tax or VAT laws."

Just take note that, depending on where you are in the country – or indeed the world – you may be offered slightly different tiers, feature options and prices.

Defining the Features

At this point it would be helpful to clarify some of the features offered in Wix's pricing.

Bandwidth

Every time someone lands on your site they're using up bandwidth. Typically, one Wix webpage takes up around 1.4MB of bandwidth.

It's tricky to determine how many visitors you'll need to max out your bandwidth, because it depends on a number of things such as how many pages they visit, the size of your pages, and the nature of your page content.

Quick Estimate:

At a guess, about 25 web visitors a day will require a 2GB bandwidth allocation.

Storage

This is about how much content you can store on Wix's servers. Media-rich content like images and videos uploaded to your pages will take up much more storage than simple text copy.

Connect Your Own Domain

This means that you have a choice of connecting your own domain that you've purchased elsewhere, or connecting your Wix domain to create a professional web presence.
