Are you thinking about building a website with Wix but unsure about which pricing plan to choose? With various plans available, it can be confusing to figure out which one fits your needs and budget. In this article, we’ll break down Wix pricing plans and guide you through the options to help you make an informed decision before you sign up.
Whether you’re starting a personal blog, a small business, or an online store, understanding Wix pricing plans is key to getting the most out of the platform. Let’s dive into the details!
Overview of Wix Pricing Plans
Wix offers a free plan and four paid Premium plans, so the right choice depends on whether you need a simple website, a blog or an online store. The old plan names (Connect Domain, Combo, Unlimited, VIP and the Business plans) were retired in 2024, so older guides that list them are out of date.
Website Plans
Wix offers a free plan and four paid Premium plans (annual billing, US prices): Light, $17/month, 2 GB storage, custom domain, no Wix ads; Core, $29/month, 50 GB storage, accepts online payments and basic eCommerce; Business, $39/month, 100 GB storage, standard eCommerce and marketing suite; Business Elite, $159/month, unlimited storage, advanced eCommerce and priority support. Prices vary by location and billing period, so always check wix.com/plans before buying. Annual paid plans include a free domain for the first year, and every plan includes SSL security. Costs that are easy to miss: the domain is only free for the first year, some apps and your email mailbox are paid extras, and payment processing fees apply. Check these on wix.com/plans before you buy.

Two points from the old list still hold: annual paid plans include a free domain for the first year, and every Wix plan includes SSL security. All paid plans are ad-free.
Payment Methods and Discounts
Wix accepts credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay through Wix Payments, plus other payment providers depending on your country. PayPal is supported.
Wix frequently offers promotional discounts, especially for new users. For example, you can often find discounts of up to 50% off on annual plans.
Can You Get a Wix Site for Free?
Yes, Wix does offer a free plan, but it comes with limitations. Your website will have a Wix-branded domain (e.g., username.wixsite.com/website), and your site will display Wix ads. You won’t be able to connect a custom domain unless you upgrade to a paid plan.
Is Wix Worth the Cost?
Wix is worth it for users who want an easy-to-use website builder with a variety of templates, customization options, and features. While the free plan can be useful for small personal projects, upgrading to a paid plan gives you more professional features, including a custom domain, ad-free experience, and storage for your content.
For businesses, the Business plan ($39/month) is a good starting point, providing everything you need to start selling online without high upfront costs. As your business grows, you can easily upgrade to higher plans with more features.
