Wix plans and prices
Wix is often the first website a small business builds, because the free plan and drag-and-drop editor make it easy to start. The cost shows up later. Taking payments, adding collaborators and automating sales tax each push you up a plan, and yearly plans are paid in full at purchase.
This guide breaks down the Wix Premium plans using the official plans page and 2026 third-party pricing data, then shows what a business site really costs.
Prices below were recorded on 12 October 2026. The headline figure is the lowest price you can get for that plan. Check the official page before you buy, because vendors change prices without notice.

How billing works
Wix prices each Premium plan per site. Displayed prices are for yearly subscriptions paid in full at purchase, and monthly and multi-year periods are also available. Prices exclude taxes. The 14-day money-back guarantee covers only the first upgrade to Premium, not renewals. The free domain voucher on yearly plans lasts one year, must be redeemed within 60 days and covers new domains only. Wix also lists a Pricing Plans transaction fee of 4% on Core and 2% on Business, with 0% on Business Elite, and card processing on US sales runs about 2.9% plus USD 0.30.
The tier trap
Light cannot accept payments at all, and Core has no automated sales tax. A business that sells online and collects sales tax is pushed to Business at USD 39 a month, more than double the Light price.
Read this first. Yearly prices (USD 17, USD 29, USD 39, USD 159) were read on wix.com/plans, but the page did not name the currency and showed a "Price includes GST" label, so it may have been a localized view. A direct fetch from our location showed USD 17.77 to USD 159.77. Monthly prices (USD 24, USD 36, USD 46, USD 172) come from Website Builder Expert, updated 15 September 2026, while TemperStack lists Business at USD 36 monthly, so confirm on the monthly toggle. We read the 4% and 2% Pricing Plans fee as the fee on sales made through Wix Pricing Plans, such as memberships and subscriptions. Card processing and the USD 21.35 .com renewal come from Website Builder Expert. Enterprise is quote-only.

| Business for automated sales tax and a lower Pricing Plans fee, billed yearly (1 site) | USD468 | +USD 120 |
| Business paid monthly instead of yearly (1 site) | USD552 | +USD 84 |
What each Wix plan includes
Compare the plans side by side. Where a cell says Check page, the vendor's pricing page was not specific enough for us to fill it in.

Which Wix plan should you pick?
Light
Pick it if you need a simple branded site with a custom domain and no online payments.
Core
Pick it if you are starting to sell products or services and five collaborators are enough.
Business
Pick it if you sell regularly online, need automated sales tax or have up to 10 people editing.
Business Elite
Pick it if you run a high-volume store, need unlimited storage or more than 10 collaborators.
Our view
Wix is good value for small businesses that want a capable site without a developer, and Business is the realistic plan for anyone selling online. Business Elite makes sense only for high-volume stores or larger teams, since it costs about four times Business.
You may be overpaying if
You pay for Business Elite with fewer than 10 editors and modest sales, you keep old campaign sites on Premium plans, or you pay monthly for a site that has been live for over a year.
How to pay less for Wix

Keeping Wix spend under control
Website plans, domains and email accounts each renew on their own date, and the person who built the site often left months ago. Idle campaign sites keep billing quietly.
- Count the users who log in. Sales, marketing and revenue operations often buy the same type of tool separately. Compare logins against paid seats before every renewal.
- Calendar the renewal and notice window. Annual contracts for data and engagement tools often renew at a higher price. A renewal tracker keeps the date visible.
- Check the data terms before you sign. Contact data brings privacy duties with it. Ask for the data processing terms during supplier onboarding, not after go-live.
- Add the tool to your software spend view. Use a spend analysis template to see what go-to-market tools cost as a group.
Bottom line. Use Core when you start selling, move to Business when sales tax and team size demand it, and pay yearly once the site is proven. Then keep every site and domain renewal on one calendar with an owner.

How much is Wix Enterprise?
Wix does not publish Enterprise pricing. It varies by project scope and required solutions, and includes a dedicated account manager and priority support. You request a quote through a demo or call.
Can you get a discount on Wix?
Yes. Yearly billing is cheaper than monthly, especially on Light. The first upgrade also has a 14-day money-back guarantee, so you can test before committing. Third-party sites list promo codes, but Wix does not publish them on its plans page.

What is the cheapest alternative to Wix?
