Export Wix Cost to HTML

Wix has four main pricing tiers. Light at $17/month. Core at $29/month. Business at $36/month. Business Elite at $159/month. Those are the advertised prices, annual billing, of course.

Let's do the math on yearly costs. Light runs $204/year. Core is $348. Business hits $432. Business Elite? A whopping $1,908 per year. For a website builder.

Here's what each tier actually gets you:

Light ($17/month) gives you a custom domain and removes Wix ads. That's essentially it. 2GB storage, limited bandwidth, no real analytics. It's the "please upgrade" tier.

Core ($29/month) is where most people land. 50GB storage, basic analytics, customer support that actually responds. Still no e-commerce though, you can't sell anything.

Business ($36/month) unlocks online payments and removes the Wix commission on sales. You get more storage, more bandwidth, and can actually run a store.

Business Elite ($159/month) is for high-volume stores. Priority support, VIP features, unlimited bandwidth. Most small businesses will never need this.

But here's what they don't tell you upfront. The hidden costs add up fast.

Domains: First year is "free" with annual plans. After that you're paying $15-20/year for renewal. And transfering a domain away from Wix is deliberately annoying.

Apps: Wix's App Market has hundreds of add-ons. Most useful ones cost $5-50/month each. Want to add a booking system? $14/month. Email marketing? $10/month. It stacks up.

Email: Wix doesn't include business email. You'll need Google Workspace at $6/user/month or Microsoft 365. That's separate from your site plan.

Storage and bandwidth: Hit your limits and you're upgrading whether you like it or not. Heavy traffic months can force expensive plan changes.

Payment processing: Even on Business plans, you still pay Wix Payments fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) or third-party processor fees. This isn't extra, it's standard, but people forget to budget for it.

The real cost of Wix isn't just the monthly fee. It's the total yearly spend plus the fact that you don't own anything. Cancel your subscription and your site vanishes. No export button, no way to take your work elsewhere.

Compare that to static hosting: build once, host for $0-5/month, own your files forever. Our tool exports Wix sites to HTML you can host anywhere. One-time effort, permanent ownership.

Wix makes sense if you need to launch fast and don't mind renting. For long-term, it's expensive rental with no equity.
