Wix pricing: Features explained and how they built it

Wix helps people and teams build websites and online stores. The platform combines a visual editor, hosting, e-commerce tools, and a built-in marketing suite. This guide explains how Wix structures its plans and what each tier unlocks.

Wix pricing offers a free plan and several premium tiers ranging from about $17 to $159 per month (billed annually). All paid plans remove Wix’s ads and include hosting.

Key elements of Wix’s pricing approach

Wix pricing is mostly flat-tiered, but some resource limits work like usage-based pricing in practice. Plans come with storage, bandwidth, and video hosting ranges that increase as you move up tiers.

There are no overage charges, but once users hit a cap, Wix either blocks usage or prompts them to upgrade. 

Key usage-based elements in Wix pricing include:

• Storage: Starts at 500 MB (Free), rises to 2 GB on Light, 50 GB on Core, 100 GB on Business, and becomes unlimited on Business Elite. Storage-heavy sites may need to upgrade.
• Bandwidth: The Free plan caps bandwidth at 1 GB. All paid plans (Light, Core, Business, and Business Elite) include unlimited bandwidth with no metered traffic.
• Video hosting: Wix does not publish per-plan video hour limits. Premium users can host video files within their storage allowance, and Wix Video supports live streaming (up to 3 hours per stream).
• Email marketing quotas: Free and Light plans offer low monthly email limits. Higher tiers include more sends.
• Form submissions: Wix limits how many form responses users can collect and store based on the user’s plan and marketing suite level.

Note: For readers looking for real-world tiered pricing examples, Wix’s structure shows how storage, bandwidth, and marketing tools scale across plans. Learn how companies choose between models in our post about pricing models for products.

Why do companies like Wix adopt usage-based billing?

Platforms that host sites and stores manage variable resources such as storage, bandwidth, video hosting, and email sends. A usage-based component keeps entry pricing simple while aligning higher tiers with growing resource needs. 

Companies adopt this billing model because it:

• Aligns price to resource consumption as traffic and content grow.
  
  
• Keeps entry tiers accessible while preserving an upgrade path.
  
  
• Matches infrastructure costs to plan limits without metered overages.
  
  
• Encourages clear packaging: storage, bandwidth, video hours, and send limits.
  
  
• Supports diverse use cases, from simple sites to high-volume stores.
  
  
• Helps product teams iterate on limits and features as needs change.

Note: For a primer on the model, see our guide to usage-based pricing for SaaS. If you are planning a blended model, read our hybrid pricing guide.

Why is usage-based billing becoming the default?

Many software categories serve a wide range of usage patterns. A usage-based approach ties spend to actual value and keeps plan selection simple. Here are some reasons why usage-based billing is becoming the norm.

Aligns price with value delivered

Customers pay in proportion to the resources they consume. As traffic, media, or transactions increase, spend scales alongside the value they receive. This creates a clear link between product usage and cost.

Lowers barriers to getting started

Entry plans stay affordable because heavy usage drives upgrades later. New users can launch with modest limits and expand when they see results. This improves activation without large upfront commitments.

Improves plan differentiation

Tiers can share a consistent feature set while limits increase in predictable steps. Storage, bandwidth, and send volumes create an easy comparison across plans. Buyers can match capacity to their stage without guesswork.

Fits hybrid pricing strategies

Vendors can combine a subscription for access with a usage component for consumption. This covers baseline value while reflecting variable costs. It also supports add-ons that scale with specific activities.

Simplifies upgrades

When usage reaches a cap, the product can prompt a clean move to the next tier. Customers see what they unlock and proceed without surprise charges. This keeps the path from trial to growth smooth.

FAQs

What is the basic marketing suite on Wix?

The basic suite includes limited email sends, simple forms, and manual follow-ups. It appears on the Free and Light plans and fits small sites with minimal lead capture. Tools like automations and CRM segmentation require an upgrade. 

The marketing suite Wix provides on higher tiers increases email volumes, adds automations, and expands CRM tools.

What’s the difference between the Wix standard marketing suite and the basic marketing suite?

The differences are that the standard marketing suite has the additions of customizable forms, marketing automations, and higher email volume. It’s included with the Core and Business plans and supports growing businesses that rely on customer engagement. 

The basic suite is only suitable for testing or low-traffic personal sites.

Does Wix take a percentage of sales?

Wix does not charge a commission on sales, but you will still pay standard payment processor fees (e.g., 2.9% + 30¢ via Wix Payments). These fees are charged by the payment gateway, not Wix. All paid e-commerce plans support this setup.

Is Wix free to sell on?

No, Wix is not free to sell on. You’ll need a paid plan for a commerce site. At a minimum, the Core plan ($29/month billed annually). The Free and Light plans do not support e-commerce or online payments. You must upgrade to unlock shopping cart and payment features.
