    What it costs

    The same jobs, priced both ways

    A team of five wants a website on its own domain, a CRM, email marketing to 1,000 contacts, rank tracking for 25 keywords plus backlink research, one business phone number with call tracking, and automations between them.

    Wix, plus apps for the rest

    • Wix CoreYearly plan paid up front, the only price Wix publishes$29
    • Semrush SEO planRank tracking for the keywords you choose, plus backlink research$139
    • CallRail Lead TrackingCall tracking: 5 numbers and 250 minutes$55
    • Calls and texts past those allowancesUsage
    Per month$223 + usage
    One-time setupNone
    First year$2,676 + usage

    Hiveku Standard

    • Hiveku Standard5 team members, 5,000 contacts, 5,000 marketing emails, 25 keywords tracked daily, 25 automations and 500 call minutes$149
    • 1 phone numberCall tracking included$1
    • Calls past 500 minutes, and texts$0.05 a minute, $0.01 a textUsage
    Per month$150 + usage
    One-time setupNone
    First year$1,800 + usage

    Read on each company's website on October 12, 2026. Wix's CRM and automations are counted as covering those jobs. Emailing 1,000 contacts needs one of Wix's separate email marketing plans, whose price Wix doesn't publish, so it isn't counted here.

    Where Wix is stronger

    No platform wins everything. If these matter most to you, Wix may be the better fit.

    Easiest editing

    The Harmony editor mixes AI generation with drag-and-drop, with over 2,000 templates.

    Industry apps

    Bookings, restaurant ordering, hotel reservations, events, online programs and stores of up to 50,000 products.

    AI agents included

    Phone (US), site chat, marketing and automation agents come with the AI credits in Premium plans.

    AI search tracking from $17

    AI Visibility is in every Premium plan, up to 5 tests a month.

    Where Hiveku is stronger

    What changes when the website, marketing, sales and AI share one system.

    Rank tracking and backlinks

    Track the keywords you choose in Google and AI Overviews, with backlinks and audits. Wix offers keyword data through Semrush; tracking rankings takes another tool.

    A full phone system

    Numbers, call menus, texting, call tracking and an AI receptionist. Wix offers an AI phone agent only.

    Your site can move with you

    Hiveku sites are real code you can download. Wix sites can only run on Wix.

    A helpdesk with tickets

    Queues, SLAs and saved replies for email, chat, texts and social messages.

    Everything in one plan

    Email, texting and social scheduling are included, not separate subscriptions.

    Switching

    Moving from Wix

    Keep your Wix site live while you start: connect it to Hiveku first, then rebuild when you are ready.

    1. 1

      Connect your Wix site first

      Add Hiveku's tracking code to your Wix site (Wix allows custom code on Premium plans with a connected domain) to capture forms, calls and visitors.

    2. 2

      Rebuild it from its URL

      Wix sites can't be exported, so site import copies your pages, text and images from the live site and rebuilds them as a Hiveku site you can edit with AI.

    3. 3

      Bring your contacts

      Export your contacts from Wix as a CSV (up to 50,000 at a time) and import them into the Hiveku CRM.
