The AI business creator

WPMaven vs Wix

Wix gives you an editor and a blank canvas. WPMaven gives you the finished business: designed, stocked with real products and built in a minute, then run every week by an AI team.

Do the posting, the writing and the reporting every week.

Their facts come from their own pages, checked in August 2026

	WPMaven	Wix
What you start with	One sentence. Your AI team builds the site, the pages, the words and real products or bookings, with prices and images.	An editor with more than 2,000 templates and AI helpers. You do the building.
After launch	Your team runs it every week: posts, videos, pages and emails, planned from last week's numbers.	The site is yours to run. Wix supplies the tools; the weekly work is yours.
Selling	A real store or booking flow, with checkout on your own WooPayments, Stripe or PayPal account.	Selling needs the Core plan or above; the cheapest paid plan, Light, cannot take payments.
Fees on your sales	None. We take nothing from your sales.	A Pricing Plans transaction fee of 4% on Core and 2% on Business, reaching 0% only on Business Elite at $159 a month.
Approval before anything goes public	Nothing goes public until you approve it, with one tap on WhatsApp or in the dashboard.	Nobody acts on your behalf, so every post and every change is yours to make.
Try it first	Watch your business get built and try it in your browser before you create an account. No card.	A free plan to build on, with a Wix banner, a Wix favicon and no payments.
What you pay	Free to build. $1 for your first full week, one time only. Then from $39 a month, billed monthly, or yearly with 2 months free.	Light is $17 a month. Selling starts at Core, $29 a month. Headline prices are annual, paid in full up front.
What you are left with	Open-source WordPress, so your content is portable and yours to export. A site we host stays live for 14 days after you cancel, then comes down.	Hosted on Wix's platform.
Readable by AI	Every site publishes your products, prices and what you do in a form AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity can read, and your weekly report shows how often they read it. It is set up for you, not a plugin to buy.	Its AI Visibility tool shows how a site is mentioned in AI answers and tracks traffic from AI tools.

Tools, or a team

Wix is a capable editor, and that is the catch: every page, every product and every post still has to come from you. WPMaven replaces the evenings, not just the software. Your team builds the business, keeps it running, and starts at $1 for a full week, billed month to month.

What you get with WPMaven

A team of AI operators with real jobs, from a Co-CEO who plans your week to a Content Writer, an SEO Specialist, a Social Media Manager and an E-commerce Manager. They build a real WordPress site, stock it with real products, connect payments on your own account, and keep working every week. Every Monday the report lands on WhatsApp with what happened and what comes next.

Nothing goes public until you approve it, and we take nothing from your sales. WPMaven is built by Yotako, the award-winning Luxembourg team behind Figma to WordPress, used by more than 100,000 designers.

Where WPMaven is going

WPMaven is a business creator, and it keeps growing. Today your team creates and runs any business that lives on the web: shops, bookings, courses, memberships, listings and donations. Next, the same team will build apps and custom software for businesses that need more than a website.

You stay in charge

Your AI team runs the week; you decide what the business is. Every post waits for your yes, every payment goes straight to your own account, and the site runs on open-source WordPress, so your content is portable and yours to take with you.
