    Security

    SOC 2 Type II

    SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001/27018/27701/27799 certified. SSL on all sites (TLS 1.2+). AES-256 encryption at rest. DDoS protection. FIPS 140-2-certified HSM for PCI environment.

    70% TechSoup discount on Core, Business, and Business Elite makes paid plans very affordable. Core (~$8.70/mo) required for donations. Business Elite (~$47.70/mo) required for HIPAA/BAA.

    Free: AI tools but Wix branding, no payments. Light: Custom domain, no payments. Core+: Full eCommerce and donations. Business Elite and Enterprise: HIPAA compliance with BAA (launched January 2026). Lower tiers NOT HIPAA compliant.

    Healthcare nonprofits: HIPAA compliance with BAA now available on Business Elite and Enterprise plans. Standard plans (Free through Business) cannot be used for sites collecting patient data.

    Key Distinctions

    70% TechSoup discount on multiple plans

    TechSoup discount now covers Core (~$8.70/mo), Business (~$11.70/mo), and Business Elite (~$47.70/mo) at 70% off 2-year subscriptions. Wix Studio plans get 30% off. One discount code per org, new subscribers only — does not apply to renewals.

    HIPAA compliance now available on Business Elite and Enterprise (January 2026)

    Wix launched native HIPAA compliance tools in January 2026. Business Elite and Enterprise subscribers can activate PHI Protection and sign a BAA directly in their dashboard. Lower tiers (Free through Business) remain non-compliant. Only native Wix apps are covered under the BAA — third-party App Market apps require separate vetting.

    Vendor lock-in

    Websites built on Wix cannot be exported or transferred to another platform. You're 'renting' your site. Consider this before investing heavily.

    AI available on free plan

    AI website builder, text creator, and image generator available even on free tier. Wix Studio AI capabilities (meta tag creator, AI image creator, responsive design AI) expanded through 2025-2026.

    Enterprise-grade security for all

    SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001/27018/27701/27799 certified. Free SSL (TLS 1.2+) on all sites. AES-256 encryption at rest. Same security infrastructure for all plans.

    Bottom Line

    For organizations with 5+ staff

    Core plan at ~$8.70/mo with TechSoup is exceptional value. Full donation forms, event management, and eCommerce. Strong security. If healthcare-adjacent, Business Elite (~$47.70/mo with TechSoup) now supports HIPAA with BAA. Main ongoing concern is vendor lock-in.

    For organizations with fewer than 5 staff

    Free plan works for testing. Core (~$8.70/mo with TechSoup) is the recommended paid entry point — required for accepting donations. Very affordable with discount.

    For health data or vulnerable populations

    CONDITIONAL — UPGRADED FROM 'NOT RECOMMENDED'. As of January 2026, Wix offers native HIPAA compliance with BAA on Business Elite (~$47.70/mo with TechSoup discount) and Enterprise plans. Requires activating PHI Protection and signing BAA in dashboard. Only native Wix apps (Forms, Bookings) are covered under BAA — third-party App Market apps are NOT covered and require separate vetting. For straightforward healthcare websites needing PHI collection, Business Elite with BAA is now a viable option. For complex health systems requiring broader PHI handling, consult a compliance professional.
