Covers primitives rather than complex widgets, so data grids and date pickers come from elsewhere

Wix Studio

Free plan lacks advanced features and requires Wix branding
Pricing increases with additional site collaborators
Storage limits on lower-tier plans may constrain media-heavy sites
Prices shown are GST-inclusive and vary by location
Business Elite tier at $159.77/month is expensive for small sites
