Looops vs Wix
Both build and publish websites with AI. The difference is lock-in: with Looops you can export your code and own it outright if you ever leave, while a Wix site stays on Wix.

Why choose Looops over Wix
With Wix you build everything by hand in a heavy editor, and your site is stuck on Wix: you can't export it or take it with you. Looops builds your site from a chat in minutes, with no manual editor to wrestle, and gives you real code you own outright, plus a database, logins, and forms built in. You get AI speed and full ownership instead of being locked into one platform.
Wix is one of the most established website builders in the world, with an AI website builder, a huge app market, and mature ecommerce. If you want an all-in-one platform that handles everything for you and you never plan to leave, Wix is a safe, capable choice.
Looops takes a different approach. You describe what you want in a chat, an AI agent builds your site and publishes it for you with hosting and a custom domain. And because your site is truly yours, you can download it and move it anywhere if you ever leave, so there's no lock-in.
This page compares the two factually, where Looops is genuinely different, and where Wix is still the better tool. Pricing and features below were verified in May 2026; check Wix's site for the latest.
Looops vs Wix, feature by feature
A factual side-by-side. Where Wix is stronger, it's marked as such.
| Capability | Looops | Wix |
|---|---|---|
AI builds a full site from a prompt Describe your site and let AI generate it. Both offer AI site generation. Wix calls its tool the AI website builder. | ||
Chat-first AI agent you iterate with Refine by talking to an agent, not editing a canvas by hand. Wix has the Astro AI assistant and AI text tools; editing is primarily done in the Wix editor. | ||
Export your site's source code Wix doesn't let you take your site elsewhere; Wix sites stay on Wix. With Looops you can download your whole site. | ||
Own your site & host it anywhere No vendor lock-in. | ||
Open and portable, not a closed system Wix uses its own proprietary platform. | ||
Database & backend logic Wix offers a database and backend code via Velo, but it is proprietary and runs only on Wix. | ||
Member logins & user accounts Both support logins / member areas. | ||
Third-party app marketplace Wix's App Market is large and mature, a genuine Wix strength. | ||
Template library breadth Wix has hundreds of templates. Looops generates designs rather than offering a large template gallery. | ||
Built-in ecommerce maturity Wix's stores, payments, and ecommerce ecosystem are more mature today. | ||
Hosting & SSL included | ||
Starting paid price Billed annually | $12/mo | $29/mo |
Real websites, from a single prompt
Every one of these was generated by Looops and published live. Click any to explore it.
See Looops in action
Real product footage, exactly as it works. No mockups.
Chat to change anything
Just describe what you want in plain English. "Make the hero bigger." "Add a contact form." "Use warmer colors." No menus, no settings.
Click any element to edit it
Click the element selector (top of the chat), then click anything in the preview: a button, a paragraph, an image. The AI focuses on just that piece.
Show it a picture
Paste or drag any image into the chat: a sketch, a screenshot, an inspiration photo. Looops understands what it sees and builds toward it.
It remembers you
Tell Looops once: 'I prefer bold colors' or 'never use stock photos of handshakes'. It saves your preferences and applies them in every future conversation.
Errors fix themselves
If something ever breaks, a 'Fix the error' button appears. One click and Looops finds what broke and patches it.
Publish in one click
When you're happy, hit Publish. Your site goes live on your own address in about a minute, with a custom domain on paid plans.
Where Looops is different
Publish on Looops, or take your code
Looops hosts and publishes your site for you. And because your site is truly yours, you can download it and host it anywhere you like, anytime. With Wix, your site stays on Wix.
No vendor lock-in
Because you can take your code with you, you are never trapped. Leaving Wix means rebuilding elsewhere.
Built to professional standards
Your site is built the way professional studios build sites, so it's fast and reliable, instead of trapped in a closed, proprietary platform.
Chat-first building
Describe changes in plain language and an AI agent makes them, instead of hand-editing in a drag-and-drop canvas.
