The 9 closest of 10, each with its real monthly cost at 1 site and what it does that Wix does not. See all 17.
WordPress.com does everything we verified about Wix for $8 a month less at 1 site, $9 against $17. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: Wix is built for site, shop, booking and email in one and WordPress.com is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
The monthly-billing price is not published, so the quoted figures assume a year paid in full; email marketing and multilingual sites are not named on the plan comparison; and the free plan cannot connect your own domain.
It runs $17 a month at 1 site with the add-ons it forces on you included. 4 of the 10 alternatives to Wix cost less than that.
Ranked by how much of what we record for Wix each platform also does. GoDaddy Website Builder is the nearest, and it is $2.99 a month dearer at 1 site. Nothing we verified is missing; the only gaps are features Wix lists and GoDaddy Website Builder does not, which is weaker evidence.

Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a free plan and running WordPress. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other twelve are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
This page compares everything to Wix. The shortlist asks 7 questions about the site you need and how hands-on you want to be, and gives you four picks priced at your own numbers, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
