Skosh vs Wix

Skosh vs Wix: done for you vs do it yourself

Wix is a solid website builder, and it costs less than we do. The real question is whether you want to build and update your site yourself, or never touch it.

Updated October 7, 2026 · By Drew

The short answer

Choose Wix if you enjoy building things, want to make changes whenever you like, and have time to learn the editor. You'll pay less each month.

Choose Skosh if you'd rather never open a website editor. We design it, write it, host it and make your changes. You just approve them.

What Wix costs

As of October 2026, Wix plans billed annually are reported at $17 a month for Light, $29 for Core and $39 for Business. Monthly billing costs more. Billed annually means you pay for the year up front.

Those prices cover the platform. Your time to design, write and update the site isn't in that number.

What Skosh costs

$0 down. One Page is $69 a month, Standard is $99 and Plus is $149. That covers a custom design, hosting, your domain on Standard and Plus, and 2 to 8 changes a month done for you. It's a 12-month plan, then month to month.

When Wix is the better choice

  • Your budget is tight and you have more time than money
  • You like designing and want to tweak things yourself, often
  • You want to make edits late at night without waiting on anyone
  • You want monthly billing with no 12-month plan

When Skosh is the better choice

  • You never want to log in to a website editor
  • You'd rather describe a change than learn how to make it
  • You want a custom design, hand-coded for your business
  • Your hours, prices or staff change and you want it handled
  • You want a web developer making your updates, and you want to see each one before it goes live

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else? Email hello@skoshsites.com.

Is Skosh cheaper than Wix?

No. Wix plans start lower. With Skosh you're paying for the design, the hosting and someone to make every change, so none of it takes your time.

Can I move my Wix site to Skosh?

Yes. We rebuild your site, hand-coded, and connect your domain. If you use email on that domain, we leave it untouched.

Can I edit a Skosh site the way I edit Wix?

No. There's no editor. You describe the change, attach photos, get a preview link and tap Approve.

Is Skosh built on Wix or WordPress?

Neither. Every site is hand-coded, with no page builders or plugins.

What if I want to leave Skosh later?

After your first 12 months, cancel anytime. Your domain is in your name, so it goes with you. You can also buy out the code.
