As a website owner using a free account, it is always a debate as to whether it is the best time to upgrade to a premium account especially if the Wix review is raining with praises for the site editor. Of course, most of these Wix users dream of having their own domain, ending it with the credible looking ".com" or ".net" and even the professional looking ".org" extension.

1. A Detailed Wix Review of It's Pricing Options
As a website owner using a free account, it is always a debate as to whether it is the best time
to upgrade to a premium account especially if the Wix review is raining with praises for the site
editor. Of course, most of these Wix users dream of having their own domain, ending it with
the credible looking ".com" or ".net" and even the professional looking ".org" extension.
If you happen to be wondering which Wix website builder pricing option or package you should
upgrade to, here is detailed analysis of the four packages the site editor offers.
1) The "Connect Domain" Plan
PROS: With the cheapest monthly plant of $4.08 for a yearly plan and a slightly higher $6.90 if
the client wants the monthly payout, this package is a beginner's best friend. It can give an
initial storage of 500 MB and 1GB bandwidth, which is highly competitive with other website
makers. It already entitles the client to premium support with unlimited number of pages per
site to help with the content.
CONS: Even when the client is already paying a premium, this packages does not include a
domain, favicon, online store, and marketing voucher. It is also, sadly, not ad-free.
2) The "Combo" Plan
PROS: This package offers a free use of a domain name for a year and is ad-free. It also offers
the use of a favicon, and has marketing vouchers of $75 for Google AdWords and $50 for
Facebook Ads. It also gives out a 3GB memory storage and 2GB bandwidth.
CONS: This almost perfect packages comes with a hefty price of $9.25 per month for a yearly
plan and an even higher $12.95 per month for a monthly option. It still does not include an
online store capability.
3) The "Unlimited" Plan
PROS: Just like the combo plan, the domain name is free for use for a year, ad-free, and allows
the use of a free favicon. It has a storage of 10GB with an unlimited bandwidth, making it an
entirely huge deal especially for bankable artists and photographers.
CONS: Of course, the price is set at $12.42 per month for a yearly plan and a whooping $15.95
per month for a monthly basis. It still does not offer an ecommerce site.
4) The "eCommerce" Plan
PROS: Free use of a personalized URL as a domain name, ad-free, with favicon, and the same
market vouchers from the Combo and Unlimited plans. It has a storage of 20 GB with a
bandwidth of 10 GB.
CONS: Price is too steep for an online store. With a hefty $16.17 per month on an annual plan

2. and the almost $20 per month payout if the client chooses a monthly payment, this can too
much premium especially when some site makers allow a free creation of an online store for
the price of a Connect Domain plan.
5) The "Email Account" Plan
Wix does not automatically provides an email account to clients even when they have already
purchased a package with a domain name. The company has strategically offered their email
accounts through the use of Google Apps. It does not come cheap as well as a client is supposed
to pay for $4.08 per month just to get an email, which for most people, makes their site
legitimate.
The Conclusion
While Wix can offer a best looking template and website finish, it certainly knows how to ask
for payment for it's services. The Combo plan appears to be the best deal for those who wish to
upgrade their Wix free account. However, a word of caution, the domain name is only free for
one year; after that, clients are going to pay an additional $10 per year to keep the domain
theirs.
It is also nice to see monthly payment plans to soften the blow of the fees, which is somewhat
not available from most website builders.
The no email account provision even after the payment of a premium is also a bit of a rip off.
Paying a highfalutin price of $4 per month is already considered highway robbery for some
especially to clients who wish to make their site credible and professional to their buyers and
customers.
