The Verdict
Notion Sites is built for knowledge bases and documentation sites, with a focus on page-publishing and custom-domains. Wix targets small businesses and beginners and leads with drag-drop-editor and templates.
On pricing, Notion Sites is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $10/mo compared to $17/mo for Wix. That $7/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Wix offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Notion Sites takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Both tools are a solid fit for portfolios — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
Bottom line: Wix has a slight overall edge — but if publish websites directly from notion pages matters most to you, Notion Sites may still be the right call.
