Pros and cons
20i
Pros
- Renewal of £9.99 sits under the €10.48 category mark
- A 30 day money-back period matches the 30 category top
- Hosting spans shared, wordpress and vps so you can move up without changing supplier
Cons
- The $1 deal runs for a 1 term only, so it does not describe your renewal
- Support runs on chat and email only, with no phone line listed
- The 99.99% uptime guarantee is a floor, not always-on service
Wix
Pros
- A free plan is included, and Free email marketing tool available means email marketing tooling is available without paying first.
- Hosting is part of the product, spanning web hosting and multi cloud hosting with free ssl, cdn and email on the free tier, so there is no separate host to buy.
- Templates number 2,000 across site, store and landing, which shortens the work before a store can sell.
Cons
- Entry price of $17.77 sits above $12, and the intro term runs 12 months.
- The e-commerce plan at $29.77 is higher than the €6.14 lower quartile in the ranking set.
- A transaction fee of 2.9% applies on top of the plan, against a 0% median across the ranking set.
Who each suits
20i
Who it suits
- UK small businesses running WordPress sites that value a single supplier

Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want a free plan, as no free tier is listed here
- Buyers who want phone support, since chat and email covers chat and email only

Wix
Who it suits
- Small businesses that need a site, a store and hosting in a single product
- Beginners who want a free plan before paying anything
- Enterprise teams comfortable with a single large platform
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers comparing pure transaction fee economics, where Shafrik prices from XOF 9,900 in another currency
- Sellers priced in Uruguay who prefer a local platform starting at UYU 400
- Creators wanting a simple tip page at $12 rather than a full site builder

Questions about each
20i
What does 20i cost to start with?+
The headline entry price is $1, but it applies for a 1 term only. Broader plan pricing starts at £10, and the store plan is priced separately at £10. Check the renewal figure before you commit, because the low entry price does not carry over.
What will I pay when the hosting plan renews?+
Renewal is priced at £9.99, which is the number to plan a second year around. The category median renewal is €6.14 and the upper quartile is €10.48. The gap between the $1 deal and the £9.99 renewal is the most important number here.
Wix
What does Wix cost to start?+
Plans start at $17.77, and paid plans open at $17.77 to $159.77 over a 12 term. A free plan is available first, so nothing has to be paid before that. E-commerce work sits on a separate tier at $29.77. A .com domain adds €9.90 in the first year.
Is there a free Wix plan, and what comes with it?+
Yes, a free plan is included, and it is a website builder plan rather than a limited demo. Hosting comes with it, along with free ssl, cdn and email. A free email marketing tool is also available. The free plan keeps the site running at no recurring cost.
