Wix itself starts at $17/mo billed yearly. Zekai checked these prices on vendor pages on 14 Nov 2026; 10 more are compared below, including 3 with a free plan and 4 open source.
The Wix alternatives most worth considering in 2027 are Squarespace for template-led sites with selling, Webflow and Framer for design-led builds, WordPress.com and Hostinger for lower yearly cost, and Shopify for stores.

The Cost Finder assumes one entry plan per person, so it multiplies by your team size; yearly prices are shown per month, and team or business plans can cost more per seat.

Among Wix alternatives, Framer's free plan gives 500 AI credits a month, 1 GB bandwidth and a Framer domain, and Webflow's Starter allows 2 static pages. WordPress.com and B12 also list free plans. Wix's own free plan has 500 MB storage, 1 GB bandwidth, Wix branding and no custom domain.
Open-source Wix alternatives are WordPress (GPL-2.0-or-later, PHP and MySQL host), Webstudio (AGPL-3.0-or-later visual builder), Silex (AGPL-3.0, static export), GrapesJS (BSD-3-Clause framework) and Puck (MIT, React editor). Self-hosting means you run the server and handle updates yourself; GrapesJS and Puck also need developer work.
Wix bundles a visual editor, hosting, domain and AI builder, so each alternative differs in what it keeps. Squarespace, Webflow and Framer bundle them too, Shopify centres on selling, WordPress.com and 10Web use WordPress, Hostinger competes on term price, and the open-source options hand you hosting. The table below shows the main difference for each tool.

Wix's own guide (5 Nov 2026) lists the free plan caps: 500 MB storage, 1 GB bandwidth, Wix branding and sometimes ads, and no custom domain; online payments need Core or higher. (source)
Wix's plans page shows prices for yearly subscriptions paid in full at purchase and does not show a monthly-billed price, so month-to-month cost cannot be read from it. (source)
Wix says its Harmony editor, which combines the Aria AI agent with manual drag-and-drop, has no separate price and is part of every plan. (source)
Squarespace is the best overall Wix alternative on this page ($19/mo). For no cost, Framer has a free plan (500 AI credits a month, 1 GB bandwidth, Framer domain). To self-host, WordPress is open source (GPL-2.0-or-later).

Yes. WordPress, Webstudio, GrapesJS, Silex, Puck are open source and free to self-host. Webflow, Framer, B12, WordPress.com have a free plan with limits, shown in the table.
WordPress.com starts at $5/mo billed yearly, against $17/mo billed yearly for Wix, as listed on each vendor's pricing page on 14 Nov 2026.
If each of 5 people buys the entry paid plan, at the prices Zekai checked on 14 Nov 2026, the monthly cost is WordPress.com $25/mo, Framer $50/mo, 10Web $50/mo, against Wix $85/mo for Wix. Team and business plans can cost more per seat. The Zekai Cost Finder on this page recalculates for any team size.
Squarespace Basic is $19 a month with 10 one-time AI credits and a 2% online-store fee; Wix Light is $17 and has no payments, which start at Core ($29). Choose Squarespace if you sell from day one and want selling on the cheapest plan instead of upgrading to a $29 tier. Stay with Wix if you want a $0 plan to build on and only pay once you connect a domain.
The documented reasons are: Wix's own guide (5 Nov 2026) lists the free plan caps: 500 MB storage, 1 GB bandwidth, Wix branding and sometimes ads, and no custom domain; online payments need Core or higher (5 Nov 2026); Wix's plans page shows prices for yearly subscriptions paid in full at purchase and does not show a monthly-billed price, so month-to-month cost cannot be read from it (14 Nov 2026). Each is sourced in the section above.
