Which plan to pickFree is enough to find out whether you like it. Starter suits one simple internal tool, but watch the integration credits once staff start using it daily. The pricing page only shows yearly rates, which it says are 20 per cent cheaper than monthly, so ask what monthly billing costs before you commit.Stay on Free if you make the odd page. Plus is the sensible paid plan; the credit allowance matches what you pay, so treat it as pay-as-you-go with a monthly minimum. Business costs over three times as much for the same credits, so only pick it for the data protections.Most businesses should start on Core, the cheapest plan that takes payments and bookings. Light only suits a plain information site. Prices vary by country, so check what Wix shows you at checkout and note the renewal date.
