Wix vs Contractor Autopilot
Wix is $17–$59/mo for the website only — and it is one piece of your business. Contractor Autopilot is $149–$499/mo flat for the whole company, unlimited users: one source of truth, 60+ features from the missed call to the paid invoice. No integrations to build, nothing to keep in sync.
What Wix does well
Wix is flexible and cheap, and the AI site builder gets something presentable up fast.
Best for: Getting a site online yourself in a weekend.
Where it leaves you exposed
- →A general-purpose template is not built to make a contractor's phone ring — no click-to-call bar, no local service pages, no quote flow into a pipeline.
- →Form submissions land in an inbox, not in a system that follows up.
- →Everything after the click — the call, the quote, the job, the invoice, the review — is still yours to buy and to do.
One app for the whole business — finally
Your website knows nothing about your business, and your business knows nothing about your website.
The call, the lead, the quote, the job, the invoice, the review and the website all live on the same customer record. Your whole crew and your office get their own login — we never charge per seat.
Get found, capture leads, quote & close, run jobs, get paid — the whole business, not one slice of it.
No Zapier, no CSV exports, no paying a consultant to wire your tools together every time something changes.
The time it gives you back
Stop being the integration between your site, your phone and your notepad. One record, from the form fill to the review request.

| Quoting + invoicing | $30–$150/mo |
| Answering service | $300+/mo |

What it costs at 1, 5 and 10 people
Their price grows with your crew. Ours does not — every plan is unlimited users, so the tenth hire costs you nothing in software.
| Crew size | Wix | + what it doesn't include | Their all-in | Contractor Autopilot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Just you | $30/mo | $900/mo | $930/mo | $499/mo |
| 5 people | $30/mo | $900/mo | $930/mo | $499/mo |
| 10 people | $30/mo | $900/mo | $930/mo | $499/mo |
At five people that is $930 a month — more than Autopilot Pro — and it still does not answer your phone, build your website, or ask your customers for reviews.
Same money buys the whole business instead of one slice of it: 60+ features across all five stages, unlimited users, one bill.
Wix column uses their published list price, read August 2026. "What it doesn't include" is the same basket every time: answering service ~$300, website and hosting ~$150, reviews and social ~$100, local SEO help ~$300. Our column is Autopilot Pro at $499/mo — everything, unlimited users. Starter is $149 and Autopilot is $399.

The honest verdict
Wix is a fine way to have a website. It is not a way to run a contracting business, and the four tools you buy to fill the gap cost more than we do.

Do I have to give up my Wix site?
