StellaBase or Wix?
Wix is a huge, flexible builder. StellaBase is smaller and made for local businesses that sell services, take orders and follow up with customers.

Where StellaBase fits better
- Taking payments starts at $12.99 a month instead of about $29, month to month.
- Pay-by-Zelle/Venmo/Cash App buttons on invoices and orders, fee-free.
- A CRM built in (Pro, $50/mo): who to call each morning, a deal board and reminders.
- Quotes, step-by-step order forms, booking and deposits made for local service businesses.
- Templates that already look finished, so you’re live in an afternoon.
Where Wix wins
- No platform fee on sales.
- A very large app market and drag-anything-anywhere editing.
- A free plan for sites that don’t sell.
Which should you pick?
Pick Wix if you want endless apps and pixel-level control, or sell high volume where 0.5% adds up. Pick StellaBase if you want a site that books, quotes and gets you paid, plus a CRM, for less per month.
