Mondovo vs Wix
Wix fixes the template on day one. We don't.
Mondovo generates three complete multi-page designs per round from a page-by-page content plan you approved, keeps up to ten on one site, and makes a different one live with a switch — the words, the page structure and the SEO settings stay exactly where they are.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
The short version
Read this first, and you may not need the rest of the page.
This is the part most comparison pages bury. It is at the top here because it saves you a decision you were going to make anyway.
Choose Mondovo if
- You want to show a client more than one direction, and to be able to change your mind after they have seen it.
- You are pitching, and would rather the work cost nothing until something goes live.
- You want element-level comments and an approval on a link you send.
- You would rather not rebuild a site in order to change how it looks.
Choose Wix if
- A specific app in the Wix App Market does a job the project depends on.
Capability
Side by side.
Quoted text belongs to Wix. Rows are limited to things we could confirm from their published pages.
A dash means we could not confirm it from Wix's own published pages, so we make no claim either way.
| Mondovo | Wix | |
|---|---|---|
| How many designs you can put in front of a client | Three complete multi-page designs per round, all built from one approved content plan. Up to ten designs on a site. | You choose a template up front. "It's not possible to switch to a different template for a site you already created." |
| Changing direction later | Switch the live design to any other design on the site. The content stays where it is. | Create a new site on the template you want, copy pages and elements across, then move the plan and the domain to it. |
| Where the design comes from | Generated for this business from its own content plan. | Chosen from Wix's template library, then edited on the canvas. |
| Editing | Edit visually, or describe the change in words and it is made. Every change lands in version history and can be undone. | A drag-and-drop editor, with no-code features. |
| Extending it | No app market, and less need for one: forms, the enquiry inbox, bookings, payments and a store, a customer area behind a login, courses, events, downloads, per-page SEO and version history are part of the platform. API access comes with the $99 a month Agency add-on. | The Wix App Market, with third-party apps for most jobs. |
| People who can work on it | 3 team members included, then $10 a month each. | 2 site collaborators on Light, 5 on Core, 10 on Business, 100 on Business Elite. |
| Getting a client to review it before launch | A review link that works on desktop and mobile. The client clicks an element on the page and leaves a note against it, or approves the whole site. | — |
Wix does a great deal more than seven rows can hold. These are the rows where the difference actually decides something.
The rule that shapes the project
The design decision belongs after the build, not before it.
The consequence lands at the worst moment in a project: when the client has finally seen their own words on a page and realised they wanted something else. It is a defensible product choice, and it is still a day of work nobody is paying you for.
The design decision moves to the front
On Wix the template is chosen before the client has seen anything built with their content. That is the least informed moment in the whole project, and it is the moment the decision becomes hard to reverse.
Changing your mind means a new site
Wix's own answer is to create a new site on the template you want, copy the pages and elements over, and move the plan and domain. That is not a catastrophe. It is a day, and it is a day nobody is paying you for.
Mondovo puts the decision after the build
Three complete designs are generated from the same approved content plan, so the client chooses between finished pages carrying their own words rather than between thumbnails. Generate another round if none of them lands.
The content does not move when the design does
Because every design is built on one content plan, switching the live design does not restart the copywriting, the page structure or the SEO settings. Up to ten designs can sit on a site, and going live with a different one is a switch.
What each one costs
Both charge per site. Only one of them lets you draft for free.
The structures are similar enough to compare directly, with one caveat we cannot get around.
Mondovo
$20 per live site per month
Drafts are free — 50 of them on Pro — and one live site is included in the first $20. Each extra live site is another $20. Pages, visitors and form submissions are not billed. Three team members are included, then $10 a month each. White-label, API access and the outreach tools are a $99 a month add-on.
Wix
Per site, across four premium plans
Light, Core, Business and Business Elite, plus a free plan. Wix's own note reads: "Prices and currency vary by location. USD prices displayed for reference only." The figures shown to us included local tax, so we have not quoted one — read them from the plans page where you are.
We would rather leave a gap here than print a Wix price that turns out to be wrong in your country. Check it at the source before you build a quote on it.
The thing the client chooses between
Three complete designs. One brief. Here it is twice.
The top row is three directions from a single beauty-studio brief; the bottom row is three from a plumbing company’s. Within each row the content plan, the pages and the offer are the same — the composition, typography, colour and rhythm are what changed.
Before you switch anything
What agencies ask about this one.
Can I bring a client's existing Wix site across?
You can start from the address of any live site. Mondovo reads the pages and the content and rebuilds the design on top of them, and you review what it found before any design is generated. The deeper import, where pages and posts come across as structured records, is the WordPress path.
Do the three designs use the same words?
Yes, and that is the point. All three are built from one content plan you approved, so the client is choosing a design rather than choosing between three sets of invented copy.
What if the client dislikes all three?
Generate another round. Up to ten designs can live on one site, and none of it costs anything until one of them is published.
How does my client leave feedback?
Send them a review link. It works on desktop and mobile, and they click an element on the page to leave a note against it, or approve the whole site. The comments arrive in your workspace attached to the element they were left on.
Will the published site carry Mondovo branding?
No. It publishes to your client's domain with no Mondovo branding. Putting your agency's name on the review link and the client-facing screens is part of the $99 a month Agency add-on.
Is there anything like the App Market?
No. Forms, the enquiry inbox, bookings, payments and a store, a customer area behind a login, courses, events, downloads, per-page SEO and version history are part of the platform, and API access comes with the Agency add-on. If your project depends on one specific third-party app, check that first.
Wix is a trade mark of its owner. It is named here to identify the product being compared. Nothing on this page implies any relationship with or endorsement by Wix.
The cheapest way to settle it
Put three directions in front of your next client.
The drafts cost nothing, so you can see all three finished before you decide which platform the project belongs on.
