Freemium. Wix publishes a free site builder tier and paid website/business plans with custom domains and advanced features.
Free plan / trial assessment
Yes. Free sites are useful for testing but include Wix branding and lack serious business features such as custom domain use.
Limitations
Less portable than custom code; advanced ecommerce and analytics cost more; performance and app add-ons require attention.
