Ullbek vs Wix

A real custom site, or the template you can't leave?

Wix gives you 900+ templates, a drag-and-drop editor and a huge App Market. Ullbek gives you a blank canvas and builds the site around your business. Here's the honest difference — and who each one is for.

Pick Wix if…

You need the Wix App Market (bookings, restaurant ordering, memberships), a full online store with inventory, or you enjoy arranging blocks yourself.

Pick Ullbek if…

You want a site that looks and feels like your business — its mood, its personality — rather than a template with your logo on it; you'd rather describe changes than make them; and you don't want ads on a free site.

Prices are Wix's published list prices as of October 2026, billed yearly unless noted — they change, so check Wix's pricing page before you decide. Ullbek's are on our pricing page.

You're not a template.
Neither should your website be.

Ullbek designs your site around your business and the mood you describe — the type, the palette, the rhythm of every page — then builds it, page by page, until it feels like you. That's the whole difference, and every row below comes back to it.

Where Wix is stronger

The honest part.

  • No App Market

    Wix has hundreds of apps for bookings, ordering, events and more. Ullbek has none — if a page needs something, the builder makes it, but there's no catalogue to browse.

  • No cart or checkout

    Ullbek builds product pages that link out to where you already sell. If you need inventory, shipping rules and a basket, Wix Stores is the more complete tool.

  • No drag-and-drop

    You change an Ullbek site by asking. Most people prefer it; some want to nudge a box three pixels themselves. Why we built it this way →

  • Younger

    Wix launched in 2006. Ullbek launched in June 2026. Wix has more integrations, more languages, more of everything — except a way out of the template.

Where Ullbek is stronger

The part we're here for.

  • Designed to your mood, not a mould

    Say the site should feel like a Sunday-morning bakery, a late-night studio or a quiet law office, and Ullbek designs for that feeling — typeface, colour, spacing, the way the page breathes. A template was finished before you arrived; it can only be itself with your logo on it.

  • Crafted, not assembled

    A menu that reads like a menu. A gallery that behaves like a gallery. A booking note where a visitor actually looks for it. Ullbek makes design decisions a designer would make, for your pages specifically — not a kit of blocks that stops where the kit stops.

  • No ceiling

    A Wix site can only be what its template allows. Ullbek builds each page around your business, so a wine bar doesn't look like a dentist with the photos swapped.

  • Free without ads

    Both free tiers carry branding, but Wix shows ads on your pages. Ullbek's free site carries a small badge and nothing else.

  • Change it by asking

    “Make the menu a two-column grid with prices on the right.” Done, in front of you. No editor to learn, no mobile view to repair afterwards.

  • One honest price

    Ullbek Premium is $12 per site per month, paid monthly. Wix's headline prices are for yearly billing; pay monthly and the same plan costs more.

Our verdict

Wix is the safer pick if you need its App Market or a full store. Ullbek is the better pick if you want a site that's yours in design and in mood, free without ads, and changeable by asking.

Questions

Ullbek vs Wix: the usual questions.

Can I move my Wix site to Ullbek?

There's no import button, and Wix doesn't let you export a site. What works well: give Ullbek your Wix address. It reads your public pages — the text, the structure, what you sell — and builds a fresh site from them. You bring the photos you own.

Wix has AI too. Isn't that the same thing?

Wix's AI builder asks a few questions and fills in a Wix template, which you then edit in the Wix editor. It's a faster way to get a template. Ullbek doesn't have a template to fill in; it designs the site around what you describe, and you change it by describing again.

Is Ullbek cheaper than Wix?

To publish on your own domain: Wix Light is $19/mo billed yearly ($228 a year) and more if you pay monthly; Ullbek Premium is $12/mo ($144 a year), paid monthly. Building an Ullbek site uses AI credits — a free credit covers your first builds, then one-time packs. Full pricing →

Which one ranks better on Google?

Neither tool ranks you — your content and the sites linking to you do. Both give you clean titles, descriptions and a sitemap. Ullbek writes the page text around your actual business, which is a better starting point than template filler.
