The short version

Each has a real cost: Bubble apps are tied to Bubble's proprietary runtime, making migration to another stack difficult if the platform is later outgrown.; Wix there is no site export, so moving to another host means rebuilding the site from scratch; the blog exports as WXR and products as CSV but the design and app configuration do not come with you.
They diverge on capability: Bubble covers Visual app editor, Wix covers Visual editor.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Bubble

Apps are tied to Bubble's proprietary runtime, making migration to another stack difficult if the platform is later outgrown.
Complex apps can hit performance limits compared to hand-coded applications as data and workflow complexity grows.
The visual workflow editor has a steep learning curve for genuinely complex business logic.
Free tier cannot host apps on a custom domain, limiting it to prototyping rather than production launches.

Wix

There is no site export, so moving to another host means rebuilding the site from scratch; the blog exports as WXR and products as CSV but the design and app configuration do not come with you.
Advertised prices are annual-billing rates and monthly billing costs substantially more, so the 17 USD Light plan is really 24 USD if you are not willing to commit for a year.
Templates cannot be swapped after publishing; changing the look of an existing site means rebuilding it page by page on a new template.
The absolute-positioning editor produces heavy markup and Wix sites routinely score poorly on Core Web Vitals compared with a hand-built or static site, which matters if organic search is your main channel.
E-commerce is gated behind the 39 USD Business tier, so a shop paying 29 USD on Core discovers mid-project that abandoned-cart recovery, subscriptions and multi-currency all need an upgrade.
