| Plan | Up to | Monthly billing | Annual billing, per month |

| Hostinger Unlimited | Unlimited | $18.99 | $16.99 |
Assumptions
- Wix (wix.com/plans, USD, taxes extra, read 9 Nov 2026): Light $17, Core $29, Business $39 and Business Elite $159 per site per month, shown for yearly subscriptions paid in full; Wix does not show its monthly-billing prices on that page, so the yearly rate is used for both billing options; if you pay Wix month to month, your cost is higher than shown. Every Wix site needs its own plan, so the cost scales with the number of websites. Squarespace, often compared with Wix, publishes EUR prices for Greece (Basic €15 monthly / €11 annual, Core €24 / €17, Advanced €42 / €29 per site) and is not modelled here because of the different currency.
- Hostinger (hostinger.com/web-hosting, shown in USD, read 9 Nov 2026): Premium covers up to 3 websites at $12.99 per month on a 1-month term or $10.99 per month at the 12-month renewal rate; Unlimited covers unlimited websites at $18.99 / $16.99. The first-term promotional prices ($3.99 / $4.99 per month for the first year, lower on 48-month terms) are not used. Cloud Startup ($27.99 / $25.99) is not modelled. Hostinger is hosting plus a site builder or WordPress, not the Wix editor: rebuilding each site is the real switching cost, so set the one-time switching cost to your own estimate. Domains, paid Wix apps and Hostinger add-ons are not included.
CSV header mapper
Rename exported Wix column headers to suggested Hostinger column names, for reporting or manual data preparation. Not an official Hostinger import format. It runs in your browser. Headers are renamed and the values in kept columns stay unchanged; columns that look like passwords or other secrets are removed.
Renamed headers do not make a file import-ready. Check whether and how Hostinger accepts such data before importing, and create any custom fields there first.
| Wix column | Hostinger column | Field type |
|---|---|---|
| Page Title | post_title | Suggested |
| URL Slug | post_name | Suggested |
| Meta Description | meta_description | Suggested |
| Published | post_status | Suggested |
When moving to Hostinger makes sense
- The comparison above shows a saving at your own volume, after the switching cost.
- Your team can finish the CSV import and onboarding within the switching budget you entered.
- You have checked that Hostinger's plan covers the integrations and compliance rules you need.
When staying on Wix is the better call
- The one-time migration, re-integration or retraining cost is larger than 12 to 24 months of savings.
- You are inside a multi-year Wix contract with early-termination fees.
- Your workflow relies on add-ons or features Hostinger does not support yet.
How the result changes with volume
Twelve-month totals at half, the same and double the volume you entered above, with the other settings you chose (plan, billing, multiplier, switching and extra costs).
| Volume (Websites You Run) | Wix | Hostinger | 12-month difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50% volume (1) | $17/mo | $12.99/mo | -$252 |
| Your volume (2) | $34/mo | $12.99/mo | -$48 |
| 200% volume (4) | $68/mo | $18.99/mo | +$288 |
≈ = above the last published price tier, so the amount is extrapolated.
Questions
How is the total cost of Wix and Hostinger compared?
Each side's monthly cost is multiplied by the months in the horizon, and the one-time switching cost is added to Hostinger. At the default volume (Websites You Run: 2), the model gives about $34 per month for Wix and $12.99 per month for Hostinger.
How do Wix CSV headers map to Hostinger?
The mapper renames Wix columns (Page Title, URL Slug, Meta Description, Published) to Hostinger columns (post_title, post_name, meta_description, post_status) in your browser. Custom fields must exist in Hostinger before you import.
When should a company stay on Wix?
Stay if the one-time switching, integration or contract-exit cost is larger than the savings over the horizon you care about. The calculator shows that case as a negative result.
