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.

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.
