    What it actually looks like

    Building in Wix
    Wix homepage: create a website with the Wix website builder

    A do-everything website platform: stores, bookings, blogs and more. That breadth is the bloat, pages load a lot of code, and you cannot switch template after publishing.

    Building in Simplepages

    Describe your business, get a real page. Leads, sales, bookings, SEO, and analytics are wired in from the first publish, and it grows into a full website when one page isn't enough. Edit as much as you want; the hundredth change costs the same as the first.

    Pricing

    How editing is priced

    Wix
    Per-site subscription

    Free (with Wix ads) or $17 to $159/mo per site, billed whether the page performs or not, plus domain, email and App Market add-ons. Simplepages is free to build, pay at publish.

    Simplepages
    Unlimited edits

    Free to build, pay only when you publish. No credits, no meter, no top-ups.

    Wix prices a whole website platform. If what you need is a landing page that converts, you're paying for the 90% of Wix you won't touch — and still spending the afternoon in the editor.

    Where each wins

    Neither is bad. Different jobs.

    • Design freedom
    • Free plan with a live site
    Simplepages

    • Purpose-built for conversion
    • Selling on the cheapest plan
    • No editor to learn
    • Leads and analytics out of the box
    What users say

    Wix does everything. Speed is the cost.

    Broad and easy, but reviewers and speed tests flag the same thing: bloat.

    The verdict

    Who should choose which

    Choose Wix if you…

    • Need a full website — blog, bookings, members, or a real store
    • Want pixel-level design control and a huge template library
    • Plan to grow into Wix's app market and business tools
    • Want a free live site (with ads) before spending anything

    Choose Simplepages if you…

    • Need a landing page live today, not after an afternoon in an editor
    • Want conversion-focused structure and copy generated for you
    • Want to sell or capture leads without upgrading to a $29/mo tier
    • Don't want to make layout, font, and app-market decisions
    • Run a lean team or solo practice shipping a page per offer or campaign
    Common questions

    FAQ

    Yes — Wix can generate a starting website from a short AI chat, and offers AI text and section helpers in the editor. It's assistive: you still customise the result into shape. Simplepages uses AI as the core product — one prompt generates the complete landing page with conversion-focused copy and images, typically in about 2 minutes.
