How we score. Each feature is rated 1 (weak or absent) to 5 (best in class) per platform using public documentation, help centers, and status pages. Segment scores weight each feature by how much it matters to that buyer group. A dash (—) means the feature has not yet been scored for that platform. Transaction fees have not been scored for Wix yet, so comparisons on that feature are provisional.
