Pick Wix if you want to build and run your site yourself: it has a free plan, more than 2,000 templates, an AI builder that starts from a prompt, and stores, scheduling and marketing tools built in. Pick Think Bright Sites if you already have a site and want it rebuilt for you from its address, with a person reviewing it before it goes live.
What each one gives you, who does the work, and what it costs to start.
| Wix | Think Bright Sites | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A drag-and-drop builder with 2,000+ templates, hosting, and business tools: online store, scheduling, a marketing suite. | Your existing site rebuilt on the Think Bright System, our own catalog of rows, page by page. You see the match before anything changes. |
| Who does the work | You do. Wix also lists a "Hire a pro" option for outside help. | HANS, our AI, does the build. A person reviews it. You approve the match and every change. |
| Starting price | Free plan. Light $17/mo, Core $29/mo, Business $39/mo, Business Elite $159/mo, as yearly plans paid up front. Wix notes prices vary by location. | Landing page $19.95/mo. Sites self-serve $49.95/mo (in development). With our help: $499 setup. Services, managed marketing, from $750/mo. |
| Build time | — | The automated rebuild runs in minutes. A person then reviews it before it goes live, so go-live is not instant. |
| Editing | Drag-and-drop editor, moving between AI generation and manual editing. | Click into the text on your page and edit it in place, or leave a voice note. No AI credit meter. |
| Hosting | Included on every plan. Connecting your own domain needs a Premium plan; paid plans include a free domain for one year. | Included, on a Think Bright address (yourname.thinkbrightsites.com). Connecting your own domain is on our roadmap. |
| Exit and export | Wix's help center says a site must be hosted and operated on Wix's servers to work. | Pages are static HTML, and every build carries a README of what runs where. A packaged export you download yourself is on our roadmap. |
| AI involvement | An AI website builder that creates a site from a single prompt, plus AI creation tools on all plans. | HANS reads your live site and rebuilds each row with your own words and photos. Nothing is invented. |
| Human review | — | A person reviews every row before go-live. |

Not on monthly price alone. Wix has a free plan and paid plans from $17 a month on a yearly plan. Our landing page is $19.95/mo, and the self-serve site plan, in development, is $49.95/mo. The difference is who does the work: on Wix you build it; with us HANS builds it and a person reviews it.
