Wix review

We read what the company publishes on its own pages and help articles, and bought nothing. Every figure here comes from a page you can open.

We read the plans page and the help articles on languages and text direction on Wix’s own site, on .

Wix is a mature platform: its editor is among the complete ones, its advertised price on a yearly subscription is reasonable, and its app market, search tools and analytics are all named on its own pages. That is why it scores well on what you get and on price.

What pulls it down are two things the company publishes itself: no renewal price anywhere on the plans page, and Arabic missing from the account-and-editor language list it publishes. The second is the one that matters to a reader of this page.

How this review was built

We did not buy a Wix plan. Speed and uptime are therefore out of the score entirely rather than estimated into it. The score rests on four criteria, all readable on the company’s own pages: price and billing, Arabic and right-to-left support, published features, and support availability.

This round we read past the pricing page: the help articles on account and editor languages, on right-to-left content, and the open feature request Wix keeps. The clearest finding here came from those articles.

There is no buyer-reports chapter on this page. We opened no buyer reports for this round, and a chapter without verification is no use to a reader.

Buying and price

9.5

Basis: the company’s own pages · weight 25%

The advertised price is {entry} a month on a yearly subscription, which is fair for what the platform gives.

What lowers the score is that the page never says what the price becomes after the first year: We read the whole plans page including its questions and found no renewal price for any plan as of 24 September 2026; the only mention of renewal concerns the domain voucher rather than the subscription A buyer comparing two platforms cannot compare the second year at all.

The same page states that its dollar prices are for reference only, that price and currency vary by country, and that tax is not in the figure. So a reader in Riyadh or Cairo cannot learn from this page what will actually be charged.

The domain is free for one year through a voucher whose conditions are spelled out: a new domain from Wix only, on a first paid subscription, redeemable within a set window, and not usable to renew a domain you already own. The second year’s price is not published.

Arabic and right-to-left

3.5

Basis: the company’s own pages · weight 20%

This is the finding the English lists do not carry.

Almost every review says Wix has native Arabic support. The company’s own page says otherwise: Wix publishes a list of 21 languages for its account and editor, and Arabic is not among them. The same article states that the dashboard and editor language follows the account language Which means someone building a site will work in an interface in another language, whatever language the site itself is in.

Arabic text does work, but by a different route: Wix states its multilingual tool detects and auto-aligns text to the right when a site is auto-translated, and adds that in some of its applications such as Stores the writing direction applies to all languages at once So right-to-left is a feature of the paid translation tool rather than a setting in the editor.

The company names the gap itself: Wix files right-to-left support across all editor components as an open feature request collecting votes, and states that some areas of the editor do not support it and the text may not display correctly That is a rare sentence in this industry, because it is a published admission that the work is unfinished.

No Arabic templates are published, and its own questions say templates exist in some languages and that you should edit the text yourself. The help centre and phone support are published with language lists that do not include Arabic either.

Published features

7.1

Basis: the company’s own pages · weight 35%

What you get here is plentiful: {feats} of the items we count, plus an app market, search tools, analytics and an AI builder, all named on the company’s pages rather than inferred.

Selling is not on the entry plan: the page places accepting payments on the tiers above it, so anyone wanting a store starts higher. No platform commission is taken on sales on any plan, and that counts in its favour.

A free tier exists and is permanent, but it runs on a subdomain, carries the company’s branding, and connects no domain of yours.

Support availability

4.9

Basis: the company’s own pages · weight 20%

Support is published as round the clock, and the channel named is chat with the option of booking a call. No phone number appears on the plans page.

The refund window is {refund} on a first upgrade to a paid plan, written plainly in the page’s own questions.

What lowers the support score is that the company publishes language lists for its help centre and its phone support, and Arabic is in neither. An Arabic-speaking reader writes in English or waits for a translation.

Speed and uptime: we did not measure them

We did not measure the speed or uptime of a site built on Wix, because that needs a bought plan and a published site. Both sit outside the score rather than inside it as a guess.

We opened no buyer reports this round and did not test how support answers in Arabic. What we did not check is written here rather than filled in with an assumption.

If not this one, then what

Both picks are computed from the scores rather than written by hand: the first is the one directly above it in the ranking, the second the one that beats it by the widest margin on the criterion it loses on.

Bottom line

For anyone writing in English who wants a broad editor with an app market behind it, Wix is a strong choice at a fair price.

For anyone building in Arabic, the company’s own pages are what to read first: the interface is not in Arabic, right-to-left runs through a paid tool, and full editor support is still an open request on their side.

Questions

Does Wix support Arabic?

The editor interface is not published in Arabic, by the company’s own language list. Arabic text on a site works through its paid multilingual tool, and the company states that some areas of the editor do not support right-to-left yet.

What does Wix cost in the second year?

We could not find the answer on its page. The page prints the yearly subscription price and names no renewal price for any plan.

Can I sell on the entry plan?

The page places accepting payments on the tiers above the entry plan, so anyone wanting a store starts higher. The platform takes no commission on sales on any plan.
