Prices as of 8 November 2026
What a small-business website costs on Wix, WordPress.com and iNterGine
For a small business that sells online and takes bookings, the platform bill is close on all three: about $25 to $30 a month in the first year. The difference is who builds the site and what it takes to keep it running.
For a webmaster, that means the price is rarely what wins or loses the client. Your hours are.
The proof
The lowest plan that takes payments and bookings, side by side
| Client needs | Wix | WordPress.com | iNterGine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lowest plan that takes payments and bookings | Core, $29 a month as shown on wix.com/plans, billed yearly, paid in full, before tax ("Accept payments", "Basic eCommerce", "Scheduling and services") | Business, $25 a month billed yearly, "Auto-renews at $28" (WooCommerce store). Commerce: "$45 per month", "Auto-renews at $50 per month. Billed every 12 months, excl. taxes." Bookings are not listed on the pricing page. | $30 a month ($360 a year): online store, booking, forms, blog, members area, phone app and SEO tools included |
| Plugins or apps to add | Not needed for payments and scheduling on Core | Every plan card from Personal up: "Install any of over 60,000 plugins from the WordPress.com marketplace". Booking needs one; its price is not on the pricing page. | None to buy: everything above is in the plan |
| Free domain, first year | Yes, a voucher with a premium plan (for a new Wix domain) | Yes, on every paid plan | Not in the list of what the $30 includes; the business uses its own domain |
| Who builds the site | The webmaster | The webmaster | iNterGine, free, from a work order, in 2 to 3 business days |
| Who keeps it updated | Wix runs the platform | Automattic runs WordPress.com; the webmaster keeps plugins and the store up to date | iNterGine runs the platform; nothing to patch |
Every price above names its plan and its billing period, because the headline numbers change with both. Check the companies' own pages on the day you quote a client.
Fair is fair
Where they are better
- Wix: about the same monthly price as ours on Core, a free first-year domain, and an App Market of extra apps.
- WordPress.com: the cheapest entry plan (Personal, $4 a month billed yearly), plugins from Personal up, and the biggest plugin and theme choice.
- iNterGine: a domain is not in our list, and there is no app market; what we have is what is in the plan.
Where we are better
The site arrives built, it is fast, and there is nothing to keep patched
- The site arrives built: you send a free work order and the site is built in 2 to 3 business days. See Your first $150.
- Speed: the same website's home page scored 46 on Wix and 86 on iNterGine on a phone in Google's own test. See the speed test.
- One plan: no plugins to buy or keep updated.
