Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: WordPress at 4.6 against Wix Studio's 2.5. WordPress also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 51) and review sentiment (37% vs 14%). Wix Studio's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
