Carrd vs Wix in 2026

Start with the pages you need

Do you want everything on a single page, or do you want visitors to move between separate pages? That's the first choice to make, before comparing storage limits or payment tools.

Carrd builds one-page sites. If that's what you want, its plans give you different tools and site allowances without changing that format. Basic is free.

The paid plans need a closer look. Carrd Pro Lite costs $9 a year and covers 3 sites, but it doesn't include a custom domain, forms or widgets. For those, you need Pro Standard at $19 a year, which includes 10 sites, custom domains with SSL, forms, and widgets for Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad and Typeform.

That's an important distinction. Don't choose Pro Lite expecting to connect your own domain later without changing plans.

Carrd Pro Plus costs $49 a year and covers 25 sites, with advanced forms, redirects, password protection and site downloads as HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Wix's US prices, as of November 2026, are Light at $17 a month, Core at $29 a month, Business at $39 a month and Business Elite at $159 a month, all billed yearly.

Storage changes with the plan: Light includes 2 GB, Core includes 50 GB, Business includes 100 GB, and Business Elite has unlimited storage. The free plan has 500 MB storage and 500 MB bandwidth, with no custom domain or online payments.

And check the domain offer before buying. Most yearly Wix Premium plans include a voucher for a free domain for 1 year, but it's only for a new domain bought through Wix.

Check how payments work

Carrd's payment options are widgets on Pro Standard, including Stripe, PayPal and Gumroad. It also includes a Typeform widget and forms.

Wix can accept online payments starting with Core. Light doesn't include that capability, even though it's a paid plan. If taking payments on the site is part of your plan, compare Core rather than Light.

Heya doesn't have a built-in store, checkout or form builder. You link a button to your checkout or store page, or to a Google Form or Tally form. Bookings use the Calendly embed.

These are different setups. Pick the one you want to use, not just the lowest price in the table.

Check the editor and site controls

With Wix, take time over the template choice: in the Wix Editor, you can't switch to a different template after creating the site. Its help center lists 800+ templates.

Watch the editor names, too. Wix Harmony launched in January 2026, while Wix ADI sites have been unsupported since November 10, 2024. Advice about ADI isn't advice about the current editors.

Wix has a detailed set of SEO controls. You can edit title tags, meta descriptions and URL slugs, and it provides an automatic sitemap at /sitemap.xml, an editable robots.txt, custom structured data markup and canonical tags. There's also a 301 redirect manager with CSV import of up to 500 redirects, plus server-side rendering.

Moving away is a separate question. Wix doesn't offer code export, and you can't export a Wix site to host elsewhere. Carrd Pro Plus includes site downloads as HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Where Heya fits

Heya is another option if you want separate pages rather than Carrd's one-page format. It's a no-code builder, and you sign in with Google to publish.

Heya Free costs $0, with no credit card and no time limit. It includes 3 sites with up to 5 pages per site, all 68 templates, and a free yourname.heya.bio address with HTTPS. There's a small Made with Heya badge.

Need more pages? Heya Pro Lite is $3 a month and includes 3 sites with up to 20 pages per site, removes the badge and stops marking links nofollow.

For your own domain, Heya Pro Standard is $6 a month, with 5 sites and 1 custom domain per account with HTTPS. You bring the domain from a registrar (Heya doesn't sell domains).

Heya Pro Plus is $15 a month, with 25 sites, up to 10 custom domains and a downloadable ZIP of HTML files. Its SEO settings cover a title, description, favicon and share image.
