Prooflive.ai vs Wix for UK small businesses
Wix is a template-and-editor builder with AI help. Prooflive.ai has your own AI agent build the site and hosts it in London. Here's how they compare.
| Prooflive.ai | Wix | |
|---|---|---|
| How the site gets built | Your own AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others) builds every page as real HTML from a description, your old site or a design, checked against our Proofrails | AI prompt or one of 2,000+ templates, then a drag-and-drop editor |
| Price with your own domain | From £24 a month (Standard), £49 Plus. Free to build; first 30 days free when you go live | Light from $17 a month on yearly billing (US prices shown on wix.com; UK prices at checkout; tax extra) |
| Email on your domain | Standard and up: one mailbox on your domain included, then £4.99 each, with webmail and any mail app | Extra cost: Google Workspace bought through Wix |
| Where it's hosted | A UK data centre in London | Data centres in North America and Europe plus cloud providers; you can't choose |
| Business extras | Leads inbox for enquiries, blog (Standard and up), SEO set up automatically, page history, card payments and subscriptions by Stripe (Plus and up) | Blog, forms, SEO tools, bookings and online store (Core and up) |
| Owning and leaving | The site, the domain and the billing are yours | Wix sites can't be exported to another host; moving means rebuilding. Your domain can be transferred out |
Which should you choose?
Choose Wix if
You want to drag things around yourself, need a large online shop with stock and shipping built in, and are happy working inside templates.
Choose Prooflive.ai if
You'd rather describe your site than build it in an editor, want it to look like your business rather than a template, and want UK hosting with email on the same bill.
