Wix: what is the real cost? The fully-managed alternative (2026)
Prices checked on 21 July 2026 on the public pages cited. Comparison produced by Majoli.
In 2026, Wix plans range from €16.80 incl. VAT per month (Light) to €178.80 per month (Business Plus) with annual billing, i.e. around €403 incl. VAT over 24 months for the entry plan (prices checked on 21/07/2026). But this price includes no work at all: building the site, the visual identity and SEO are entirely up to you. Majoli delivers a turnkey one-page website from €190 excl. VAT + €22 per month, all-inclusive and commitment-free.
Wix pricing in detail
Wix is an online website builder: you build your own site from templates. A free version exists, with Wix ads and an imposed subdomain. Paid plans, with annual billing (prices incl. VAT checked on 21/07/2026), are as follows; expect 20 to 30% more with monthly billing:
| Plan | Creation | Monthly fee | Commitment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light | €0 (you build the site) | €16.80/month incl. VAT | Annual billing |
| Core | €0 (you build the site) | €30/month incl. VAT | Annual billing |
| Business | €0 (you build the site) | €40.80/month incl. VAT | Annual billing |
| Business Elite | €0 (you build the site) | €178.80/month incl. VAT | Annual billing |

Wix vs Majoli: the comparison
The real difference between Wix and Majoli is not the price of the tool, it is who does the work. With Wix, you pay for software and build the site yourself. With Majoli, you pay for a finished website designed by professionals, and there is nothing for you to do.
| Criterion | Wix (Light) | Majoli |
|---|---|---|
| Who builds the site? | You (allow several days if you are not experienced) | Our team, end to end |
| Creation fee | €0 | €190 excl. VAT (One Page) |
| Monthly cost | €16.80 incl. VAT (annual) | €22 excl. VAT (annual), all-inclusive |
| Visual identity | Do it yourself from templates | Included, created by our designers |
| SEO | Tools provided, work is up to you | Optimised SEO structure included |
| Maintenance and support | Platform support | Maintenance, human support within 24-48h, monthly review |
| Commitment | Annual billing in most cases | None, cancel anytime |
| You own your website | No: a Wix site cannot be exported to another host | Yes: full copy provided if you leave |
| Total cost over 24 months | ≈ €403 incl. VAT + your building time | €718 excl. VAT, site built for you |
The math, in full transparency
- Wix calculation (Light): 24 × €16.80 = €403.20 incl. VAT over 24 months, plus your building time (often 2 to 5 days for a beginner), any template or image purchases, and the SEO work.
- Majoli calculation (One Page pack): €190 creation + 24 × €22 = €718 excl. VAT over 24 months, with design by our team, visual identity, SEO, hosting in France, maintenance and unlimited evolutions included (sections, pages, copy, images).
- In other words: the price gap over 24 months is what your time is worth. If building, designing and optimising a site takes you three days, the gap is already covered.
Who is Wix for? Who is Majoli for?
Wix is a good fit if...
You enjoy building things yourself, you have time available and a very tight starting budget. The editor is rich, templates are plentiful and the free version lets you test risk-free. It is also a good learning ground if you are curious about the web.
Majoli is a better fit if...
Your time is better invested in your business than in a website editor. For €190 + €22 per month, you get a professional website designed for you, a visual identity, proper SEO and a human contact, with no commitment. And if you ever leave, your website leaves with you: this is not possible with a site built on Wix.
What Majoli includes at this price
Our prices cover the site's creation and an all-inclusive subscription. In concrete terms, the subscription includes:
- Hosting in France (premium AWS infrastructure)
- Backups with up to 6 months of history

- Human support with replies within 24 to 48 hours
- Monthly performance review (traffic, speed, uptime)

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
As of 21/07/2026, Wix plans range from €16.80 to €178.80 incl. VAT per month with annual billing (20 to 30% more monthly), i.e. around €403 incl. VAT over 24 months for the Light plan. Add the invisible cost: your building time (often several days), the visual identity and the SEO work, which are not provided.
No. A site built on Wix remains tied to the Wix platform: it cannot be exported to another host. If you leave Wix, you start over. At Majoli, your website belongs to you: if you stop the subscription, we provide a full copy to host wherever you want.
It depends on your time and your standards. Wix works for testing an idea cheaply if you do everything yourself. An agency delivers a professional result with no effort on your side: in France, expect €500 to €3,500 excl. VAT with a traditional agency, or €190 + an all-inclusive subscription at Majoli for a one-page site built for you, with no commitment.
