Wix alternative
Enderbeam and Wix, honestly compared
Where Wix stops is your server. Looking through their app market we found nothing that shows live status, syncs ranks, builds leaderboards, tracks playtime or mirrors punishments; the only Minecraft-adjacent app is a third-party Tebex storefront builder. And Wix Forum was discontinued on 1 March 2026.
What Wix is
Wix is a hosted website builder — your site runs on their servers and nowhere else. A design canvas you can put anything anywhere on, more than two thousand templates, an app market of several hundred apps, and a business suite behind it with real online selling, bookings and email marketing. US prices, billed yearly: free with Wix’s own branding on your site, $17.77 a month for your own domain with the ads off, $29.77 once you want the store.
- The design canvas. You place things where you want them rather than filling a grid, and for pure visual freedom it beats what we do.
- Over two thousand templates, and an app market with hundreds of apps for the ordinary parts of a website.
- Real online selling, bookings and email marketing in the box — a whole business suite we are not trying to be.
- Free phone, chat and email support around the clock, and a mobile app for running the site.
- Search engines are a strength now rather than the weakness the folklore claims: server-rendered pages, editable robots.txt, maintained sitemaps, canonical tags and bulk redirects.
What Enderbeam is
A hosted website builder for Minecraft servers. You make a project, drop our plugin in /plugins, and drag 70+ modules onto a page — your server’s status, online players, ranks, playtime, leaderboards, punishments and forums, all fed from your own server. There is nothing to install anywhere else and nothing to keep patched.
The free plan is a working site with live server data, forums and leaderboards, with no card and no ads. Premium is $9.99 a month per site and adds your own domain, every theme and full control of the styling.

Who should pick Wix
Pick Wix if you are building a general-purpose site rather than a community hub — a brand page, a merch shop with a real checkout, a bookings calendar — or if your design ambition runs past what a module library can do. It is a better and far more flexible design tool than we are.
Your server still needs a website. Ours takes an afternoon.
