Wix Pricing Plans (2024 Guide)

Wix offers five paid plans to accommodate all its various users. Each Wix pricing plan has a set of unique features. Let’s first take a look at the professional plans, geared toward users who don’t need an e-commerce site.

Wix Light Plan ($15 CAD per month)

Best For: Individuals looking to create a personal or portfolio website

The Wix Light plan is the first of Wix’s paid plans. This $15 CAD per month plan is designed for personal use. It includes a custom domain that helps build your brand’s credibility, a free domain for one year, an SSL certificate that enables an encrypted connection for online security, 2 GB of storage space and 30 minutes of video. The Combo plan also removes Wix ads that appear in the free plan and comes with 24/7 customer care. This plan looks more professional than the free plan and is perfect for portfolios, résumés and personal sites.

Wix Core Plan ($25 CAD per month)

Best For: Small businesses looking for built-in branding and analytics features

For just $10 CAD more a month, users can upgrade to the “Best Value” Wix pricing plan. The Wix Core plan is designed as an option for those looking for complete online branding. It includes all the features of the Light plan with the addition of a free year of an Events Calendar app, a professional logo designed for your brand or business and 40 different sizes of that logo to correspond with all the various social media logo size requirements. The plan also comes with 50 GB of storage space and two hours of video.

A Wix e-commerce business plan is required for individuals and businesses that want to create an online store, need more HD video storage or want access to one of Wix’s powerful business apps such as Wix Bookings. These plans provide users with all the tools needed to establish and maintain an online store, such as creating a storefront, creating product catalogues, managing orders, integrating sales channels and managing shipping and taxes.

All the business plans include a free custom domain, SSL encryption, the ability to accept secure online payments, the ability to start subscriptions and collect recurring payments and the ability to save customer payment methods so repeat customers can quickly check out.

Wix Business Plan ($36 CAD per month)

Best For: Small to medium-sized e-commerce businesses looking to sell through Wix

Business is Wix’s most popular plan. In addition to all the features offered in the Coreplan, Business also includes 100 GB of storage, ten hours of video, the ability to display pricing in local currency and an automated sales tax feature for $36 CAD per month.

This plan is a significant upgrade for online stores once they begin to get traction with sales, especially for stores that sell items internationally. The plan includes options to start dropshipping up to 250 products, advanced shipping features that offer end-to-end order fulfillment management and the ability to reach more potential shoppers by selling on online marketplaces. The plan also includes 1,000 product reviews, which is huge for building trust and credibility for your business.

Wix Business Elite Plan ($149 CAD per month)

Best For: E-commerce stores that need stronger Wix customer service

At almost double the price of the Business plan, the Business Elite plan includes unlimited storage space, video hours and dropship products as well as priority customer care. At $149 CAD per month, the plan also includes 3,000 product reviews, customized analytics reports that offer valuable customer insights and a loyalty program to reward returning customers.

The steep price hike might not make this plan feasible for most businesses. This plan is best for larger online stores that have a high number of monthly sales transactions, a bigger budget to devote to their websites and a need for fast customer service.

Wix Enterprise Plan (Contact Sales)

Best For: Small to midsize businesses looking for a complete, all-in-one website and digital marketing solution

Finally, for those who have a bigger need, Wix offers an Enterprise plan. The plan is designed for brands that want a complete digital solution. The Enterprise plan is custom-tailored to meet your business needs. It provides a personalized account manager, one-on-one training, collaborations with team members on how to best launch products at scale, consultations with industry experts on business-specific problems, custom storage, scalable billing solutions and more. You’ll need to contact the Wix sales team to sign up for this plan.

Standard Wix plans don’t include any of the below features. If you need to buy a domain, professional email or want a better analytics dashboard, that may cost you extra.

Wix Domain Cost

To have a custom domain name for your website, you’ll need to pay a separate annual cost. The monthly cost for a paid Wix plan only covers website hosting. Domain prices vary depending on the type of domain extension, the length of your term, the level of privacy protection and your local currency & tax laws.

However, if you sign up for a yearly premium website builder plan, it will likely come with a one-year domain voucher. This means you’ll get a free custom domain for one year, after which time you’ll need to pay to renew it. Pay close attention to the parameters you choose when registering for the first time, so that you can save up and be prepared for this fee a year later.

Wix Email Cost

If you want your email address to contain your website’s domain name, e.g., mary@mybusiness.com instead of mary@gmail.com, you can purchase a professional email mailbox starting at $7.80 CAD per month, per user through Google Workspace.

If you have multiple members on your team, you’ll need to purchase separate mailboxes for each email address.

Wix Ascend Cost

Ascend by Wix helps you market your business with email marketing, lead form captures, social media scheduling and more. It plugs in directly to your Wix site, so you can view insights and build automations without leaving Wix.

Wix offers three different Ascend plans, Basic ($10 per month), Professional ($24 per month) and Unlimited ($49 per month). The Unlimited plan gives you the ability to schedule an unlimited amount of campaigns, forms, automations and social posts, whereas the other plans are capped at a certain amount.

Technically, there is a free Ascend plan that is automatically included in your Wix site. If you want to unlock any of the premium features, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid Ascend plan.

Premium Apps

Wix has nearly 60 free apps, but if you want to use any premium apps, you’ll need to pay. Premium apps vary from $2.49 CAD to $50 CAD per month. Since most apps have a free and a paid version, you can try the free version of an app before you decide to invest in the paid version.

Keep in mind that Wix will auto-renew any subscriptions to paid apps, so if you decide to cancel, you’ll need to visit your account settings.
