VibeTokens vs. Wix, WordPress & Squarespace
Wix, WordPress.com, and Squarespace are good tools — you build your site inside them and keep it updated yourself. We're a service: tell us what you need changed, and we make the change. Here's what each one actually costs and who does the work.
The real difference isn't features
Wix, WordPress.com, and Squarespace all make it possible to build a good-looking website yourself. They're not the wrong choice for everyone — plenty of people enjoy building their own site, and all three have real strengths. The honest axis isn't "better or worse" — it's who does the ongoing work.
With a builder, you're the one logging in, opening the editor, and making the change when your hours update or you add a service. With VibeTokens, you tell us what changed — by chat, no editor to learn — and we make the edit.

When a builder is the right call
If you want to design every pixel yourself, enjoy the editor, or your site needs something genuinely custom that no service can template, Wix, WordPress.com, and Squarespace are all solid tools for that. We're built for the opposite case: you'd rather run your business than run a website.
