Whether you’re starting a business, promoting a brand or experiencing any of the other countless reasons for making a website, you know the first step begins with choosing the right website builder. Every platform has its unique advantages and quirks, in addition to pricing plans.
Wix, for one, offers one of the most trusted platforms for businesses and individuals looking to grow their presence online. It powers more than 8.4 million websites globally and is the most popular hosted solution on the entire internet, according to BuiltWith.
You can get started with Wix for free. But if you're interested in seeing what one of our paid premium plans has to offer, you've come to the right place. Below is a breakdown of what our different premium plans have to offer.
Available Wix premium plans
Wix's paid plans range from $17 per month to $159 per month, as listed below:*
Light: $17 per month
Core: $29 per month
Business: $36 per month
Business Elite: $159 per month
Wix offers a 14-day money-back guarantee, and you can upgrade or cancel your plan at any time. In addition to these paid plans, custom Enterprise pricing and plans are available upon request.
The exact plan you choose will depend on your business size and goals. For example, if you run an eCommerce or other online business that needs to accept payments through your site, you'll want to explore the Core plan or higher. You can rest assured that every plan, including our free plan, comes with secure web hosting and several free business tools.

What Wix Premium plans offer
While our free plan offers all the essential tools for creating a website and remains free forever, our premium plans offer some unique benefits.
Custom domain name
A domain name is your online address—by choosing the right domain name, you can directly impact other areas of your online presence and more importantly, help visitors find your website.
Wix streamlines the process of brainstorming unique domain name ideas with a domain name generator and helps you select a top-level domain extension to protect your brand. With a paid plan, you can connect your custom domain to your Wix website (websites created with a free plan will be assigned a Wix-branded URL). You can even enjoy your custom domain free of charge for the first year of your subscription.
Ad-free experience
When you create a professional website, you want to put your best foot forward. But while many free options let you build a good-looking website quickly, there is a drawback: you'll likely have to host ads on your site.
Ads can make your website look unprofessional or cluttered in your visitors' eyes. By upgrading your free website plan to a premium one, you can remove Wix ads from your site and enjoy full control over your site experience.

Increased storage and bandwidth
Purchasing a Wix premium plan will significantly increase the amount of storage and bandwidth on your website. When you get generous storage space, you can upload more images, videos, audio and data to your website without having to sacrifice usability and accessibility.
For website owners, having more bandwidth means better connectivity. As a result, web pages will load faster on any given browser because bandwidth determines how much data travels on a server at one time.
If you’re running an online store or business, you’re going to need extra bandwidth to handle high traffic and multiple daily visitors.
Wix Plan | Storage |
|---|---|
Light | 2 GB |
Core | 50 GB |
Business | 100 GB |
Business Elite | Unlimited |
Free ad vouchers
Just because you build a website, doesn't mean people will immediately come flocking over. To drum up attention around your site, you'll want to create an advertising plan to help promote it and get in front of the right audience.
First-time Google Ads advertisers with a Wix premium plan are eligible for up to $500 in Google Ads credit after spending $500 in the first 60 days. This is a great way to break into the online advertising space and drive more traffic to your website without breaking the bank.

Online payments
One of the most popular website features offered by Wix: our suite of eCommerce tools. Users with a Core plan or above can access a range of eCommerce tools, including multi-channel product listings, product reviews, pre-orders and more.
Note: you can design and publish your online store entirely for free. However, to start accepting online payments, you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan. Wix offers a complete online payment solution, Wix Payments, that allows you to accept over 50 payment options worldwide.
You can manage everything from your product listings and inventory to orders and checkout from Wix—plus manage subscriptions, multiple currencies, loyalty programs and more.
Other industry-specific business solutions
Wix has a slew of built-in business solutions for all types of industries. Whether you're in the restaurant, event, hotel or fitness industries (just as examples), you've got your choice of website templates, marketing features and business management tools to pick from.
While many of these features are available for free, some are reserved for our users with premium subscriptions. These additional perks include:
Bookings/service subscriptions and memberships
SMS notifications
Mobile bookings
Booking analytics
Multi-calendar sync
Online courses and programs
Quizzes, surveys and certificates of completion
Unlimited events and ticket sales
Mobile tickets (for event management)
Online orders (for restaurant owners)
Reservation management
Custom menus
Promo codes
Online fitness sessions
Automated reminders
And more
Priority customer care
Customer service is a top company priority. For example, at Wix, there’s a team of customer care experts who understand the product features inside and out, playing a vital role in moving the world of website creation forward. When you purchase a Wix premium plan, you skip the lines and receive 24/7 priority care.
Free app upgrades
All plans Core and above include free access to the Events Calendar and Get Found Today app for a year. Display external calendars on your website and boost your visibility on Google properties, respectively, using these apps.
You can explore many other Wix Apps that are compatible with Wix sites, but each of these may come with additional pricing and subscription plans.
