Wix Pricing in 2025 – What You Pay and Why

If you’re thinking about building a site on Wix, the first thing you’ll wonder is "how much does it actually cost?" Wix advertises a free plan, but the details matter. In this guide we break down every tier, the real cost of each, and the hidden fees that pop up when your site grows.

Free Plan: What’s Included and What’s Not

The free tier lets you launch a site without spending a rupee, but you’ll see Wix branding, a Wix sub‑domain (yourname.wixsite.com), and limited storage. It’s fine for a hobby project or a quick showcase, but you can’t connect a custom domain or remove ads. If you need a professional look, the free plan quickly becomes a cost‑center because you’ll have to upgrade anyway.

Paid Plans: Choosing the Right Tier

Wix offers four main paid bundles: Combo, Unlimited, Pro, and VIP. All prices are listed monthly, but you save 20‑30% by paying yearly.

• Combo: Ideal for a simple personal site. It removes Wix ads, gives you a custom domain for a year, 3 GB bandwidth and 2 GB storage. Expect to pay around ₹250 / month on a monthly basis, or ₹180 / month if you bill annually.
• Unlimited: Best for freelancers or small businesses needing more bandwidth (unlimited) and 10 GB storage. Price hovers near ₹400 / month monthly, ₹300 / month yearly.
• Pro: Adds professional logo maker, social media logo files, and 20 GB storage. Costs about ₹550 / month monthly, ₹410 / month yearly.
• VIP: Premium support, priority loading, and 35 GB storage. This top tier is around ₹800 / month monthly, ₹600 / month yearly.

Pick a plan based on three things: do you need a custom domain, how much storage you expect, and whether you want priority support.

Beyond the base price, watch out for add‑ons. Wix’s App Market offers SEO tools, booking systems, and live chat widgets that charge extra—usually $5‑$30 per month each. If you run an online store, transaction fees (2‑3% per sale) apply unless you’re on the higher plans.

Domain registration is another hidden cost. Wix sells domains at about ₹1,200 / year, but you can buy cheaper elsewhere and connect it for free. Just remember to point the DNS records correctly.

Storage overages are rarely an issue because the plans are generous, but bandwidth spikes can trigger extra charges on the free plan. If you anticipate heavy traffic, the Unlimited or VIP plan’s “unlimited” bandwidth protects you.

One practical tip: calculate your total cost for a year before you click "Buy." Add the base plan price, estimated app subscriptions, domain fees, and any transaction costs. This gives you a realistic budget and helps you avoid surprise bills.

In short, Wix can be free forever if you’re okay with ads and a Wix sub‑domain. For a professional site, expect to spend between ₹180 and ₹600 per month, depending on features and whether you pay yearly. Keep an eye on add‑ons and domain fees, and you’ll have a clear picture of your Wix spending in 2025.
