Where each one falls short

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

Stacker

  • There is no source export and no self-hosting, so leaving means rebuilding the entire interface and permission model elsewhere, even though the underlying records remain yours.
  • Performance is bounded by the data source, so an Airtable base near its row limit or an API under rate limiting produces a slow portal that no amount of Stacker configuration will fix.
  • Pricing distinguishes internal editors from external portal users, so a portal that succeeds by adding hundreds of light-touch external users can end up costing more than the internal system it fronts.
  • Custom logic is limited to the actions and conditions the builder exposes, so anything resembling a calculation engine or a branching multi-step approval hits a wall and needs an external automation tool bolted on.
  • It is a portal and CRUD tool by design, with no offline mode, no native mobile application and no real reporting layer, so it will not be the only system a growing operation runs.

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
  • Published plan prices vary by country and are rendered dynamically, so the rate you see may differ from the figures quoted here

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Stacker: Where does my data live?

In the source you connect: Airtable, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets or your own Postgres. Stacker reads and writes to it rather than becoming the system of record.

Wix Studio: What is included in all Wix plans?

All plans include custom domain option, reliable web hosting, AI creation tools, 24/7 customer care, and 14-day money-back guarantee.

Source
Stacker: Can I export the app if I cancel?

No. The data stays in your source system, but the interface, permissions and workflows are Stacker configuration and do not come with you.

Wix Studio: How does storage scale across Wix Studio plans?

Free and Light plans offer minimal storage. Core plan includes 50 GB, Business plan includes 100 GB, and Business Elite includes unlimited storage.

Source
Stacker: Is it suitable for hundreds of external users?

Technically yes; check the pricing arithmetic first, because external portal users are charged separately and that is where the bill grows.

Wix Studio: Are Wix Studio prices the same globally?

No. Prices and currency vary by location. USD prices displayed are for reference only and include GST.

Source
Stacker: Will it replace Airtable?

No, it sits in front of Airtable. If the base itself is at its limits, the fix is moving the data to Postgres rather than changing the portal.
