Which should you pick?
Choose Wix if this fits: best all-around drag-and-drop builder. Wix is the feature king of website builders: more templates, more apps and more built-in tools than anyone else, hosted on solid Google Cloud infrastructure. Just go in understanding that a Wix site lives and dies on Wix.
Choose Squarespace if this fits: best for design-first sites and creatives. Squarespace trades flexibility for polish and wins the trade for most people: the templates are the best in the business and hard to make ugly. Power users and store owners scaling up will feel the guardrails.
Overall, our scores favor Squarespace (8.4 vs 8.2) - but the right choice depends on which trade-offs matter to you. Read the full Wix review and Squarespace review.
