    #1. Square vs Wix: Pricing (Square Wins)<\/h2>\n
    \n

    Verdict: Square is a more affordable choice than Wix.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Even on its free plan, Square already lets you launch a functional online store. With Wix, you have to be on its Business plan ($36\/month) to have access to some decent eCommerce features.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    For its eCommerce services\u2013 Square Online, Square offers three pricing packages, which include one free forever plan and two paid options. What we like about Square is that its free plan is actually a functional plan that allows you to list products and accept payments online.<\/p>\n
