What you're really buying

Wix's pitch is "everything included": booking systems, restaurant menus, event tickets, an app store with hundreds of add-ons. It sounds great, until you notice you're paying for all of it while using almost none of it. The platform is the product. Every plan charges you for the whole platform.

What it costs

• · Wix Light: $17 a month ($204 a year) for a basic personal website.

• · Wix Core: $29 a month ($348 a year). The realistic plan for a small business.

• · Wix Business Elite: $159 a month ($1,908 a year).

• · Wix business contracts can reach $20,000 a year and more. That's real. We've seen the bill.

• · Mevin: free to start. $84 your first year for your own domain with no badge. Business plans are priced for what you use, not the whole store.

A true story

One of the businesses on Mevin today came from exactly this. They paid over $20,000 a year on Wix for a website that used a tiny part of the platform. We moved them over, built what they need, and priced it for that. That's not a discount trick. It's how we work. We sell websites, not platforms.

Why people pick Mevin

Mevin's AI designs a bold website around your business. Not the boxed template look. You can change anything yourself, free, forever, with no app store needed. A blog and content pages with their own web addresses are built in. That's why Mevin websites get found on Google without renting SEO apps.

And support isn't a paid tier. On every plan, your ideas and problems go to the founder and come back as answers. Wix Business Elite sells "priority support". We just answer.

Which one should you pick?

If your business truly runs on Wix's booking or restaurant apps, the bundle can be worth it. If you need a fast, beautiful website and a bill that matches your needs, Mevin does it for a fraction of the cost. You'll never wonder what the other $19,800 was for.
