The short answer
Wix has far more features than Shingle, including stores, events, members' areas, a mobile app and a large app market, and its free plan can publish. Choose Wix to run a business on one platform. Choose Shingle to sell websites to local businesses. It finds who needs one, reviews every line against their facts, and alerts you when they open your demo.
What Wix does well
A website platform with an AI builder, stores, bookings and blogs for small businesses, and a Studio product for agencies.
- Far more features, with stores, bookings, restaurants, events and blogs on one platform
- An AI builder that starts from a prompt, and Aria, an AI agent for edits
- A free plan that publishes, with no card needed
- Its own domains, mailboxes and mobile app
- Wix Studio for agencies, with client billing and a partner revenue share

Where it differs
It finds your next client
Radar shows which businesses in a town have no website or a weak one. Wix's pages don't show a lead finder.
A pitch that reports back
Send a demo from your own phone or email, and get an alert when the business opens it.
Built not to invent
Phone, hours and prices come only from the owner or the listing, and a separate review checks every line.

Who each one suits
Choose Shingle if
- You sell websites to local businesses and need leads
- You want an alert when a business opens your demo
- You want a site built from a Google listing, with its facts reviewed
- You'd like a demo ready before your first call
Choose Wix if
- You want one platform for a store, bookings, events or a restaurant
- You need several languages on a site, or members' areas
- You want thousands of templates and an app market
- You want a free site live today, with Wix ads on it
Moving over from Wix
- If you like your Wix design, paste the site's address into Shingle's composer and choose Clone, which copies a page's words, photos and design.
- Clone asks you to confirm you have the right to copy the site. It starts with the page you paste, then offers the pages in its menu, one at a time.
- A Wix store, events and members' areas don't come across, because Shingle has none of them. Connect your domain with the two DNS records Shingle shows you.
Common questions

It is if selling websites is your business. Shingle finds who needs one, builds a demo from their facts and tells you when they open it. If you want a store, events or members' areas, or a free site that goes live today, Wix is the better fit, and its paid plans start lower, at $17.77 a month paid yearly against Shingle's $39.
Yes, by a long way. Wix has a store, payments, events, members' areas, several languages per site, a mobile app and an app market, none of which Shingle has today. Where Shingle goes beyond what Wix's pages show is finding businesses, pitch links and a review of every line.
Wix's AI builder makes a site from a prompt, and its Aria agent edits it. Shingle starts from notes, a Google listing or an existing page. A separate review reads each line against the business's facts and removes what they don't support, and a first build usually takes 10 to 15 minutes.
Wix Studio is the fuller platform, with client billing, a partner revenue share and all of Wix's features behind it. Shingle is narrower and starts earlier. It finds the businesses, builds their demos and tells you when they look. The question is which you're short of, tools or clients.
