About Is Wix Free Export
Sort of. But not really.
Wix does have a free plan. You can build a website without entering a credit card. And then you'll see why everyone upgrades.
The free tier comes with Wix branding plastered on your site. Big banner ad at the top. "This site was created with Wix" in the footer. Your URL is something beautiful like username.wixsite.com/mysite. Not exactly professional.
You can't connect a custom domain. Can't remove the ads. Storage is capped at 500MB. Bandwidth is limited. No favicon customization. No analytics.
For testing Wix before committing? Fine. For an actual website people will see? You need to pay.
Here's what the paid plans cost:
Light at $17/month, Custom domain, no Wix ads, 2GB storage. The minimum for anything serious. Core at $29/month, Adds 50GB storage, site analytics, and more bandwidth. Business at $36/month, Online payments, unlimited products. That's their cheapest ecommerce option. Business Elite at $159/month, Advanced features, priority support.
Do the math. Light runs $204/year. Core is $348. Business Elite hits $1,908 annually. That's a lot of money for hosting a website.
And here's teh thing that really stings, you don't own any of it. Your site lives on Wix's servers. Built with their proprietary code. Try to leave and there's no export button. Stop paying and your site vanishes.
The alternative? Export once, host forever.
Our tool grabs your entire Wix site, pages, images, CSS, everything, and packages it as static HTML. Take that ZIP file and upload it to Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages. All of them have free tiers that handle small sites easily.
Static hosting has no monthly fees. Your $204/year becomes $0/year. Or close to it, you'll still pay for your domain, maybe $12 annually.
The trade-off: you lose Wix's visual editor. Updates mean editing HTML files. Forms need a third-party service like Formspree. But for a portfolio, restaurant menu, or business brochure that doesn't change often? Static makes sense.
Wix isn't really free. It's a free trial that never ends but never works either.
Export your site. Actually own it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Wix completely free forever?
Technically yes. But your site will display Wix ads, use a username.wixsite.com subdomain, and you can't connect a custom domain. For anything professional, it's unusable.
What's the cheapest Wix plan with a custom domain?
Light plan at $17/month lets you connect your own domain and removes Wix ads. That's $204/year minimum for a basic site with limited storage and bandwidth.
Does Wix offer a free trial of paid plans?
No free trial, but they have a 14-day money-back guarantee. You pay upfront and can request a refund if you're not happy. Annual plans save money but increase the risk.
How can I avoid Wix fees entirely?
