Clued vs Wix

Wix makes websites. Clued makes community shops that sell. If you’re an indie community seller looking for a Wix alternative, see why Clued is mobile, AI-powered, and built for visibility with your community — not endless add-ons.

Wix is one of the biggest website builders out there. It promises you can make anything with drag-and-drop. But here’s the truth: Wix gives you a site, not a shop that grows with your own community.

If you’re an indie community seller, Wix quickly becomes a trap. You start with a template, then add plug-in after plug-in for e-commerce, email, and marketing. You end up with a bloated dashboard, higher costs, and still no buyer community.

Because the problem isn’t building a site. The problem is getting seen.

That’s why we built Clued.

  • AI-powered Scenes that turn your product shots into scroll-stopping drops in seconds.
  • Subscribers + messaging built in — every drop grows your buyer community.
  • Mobile-first, fun, and modern — designed for sellers who live on Instagram and TikTok.
  • Commerce included — checkout, shipping, order tracking all built in.

👉 Wix gives you a site. Clued gives you sales.

Wix: Where it falls short for indie sellers

Overwhelming — Wix throws hundreds of features and templates at you. Sellers get lost in options.

Plugin sprawl — Want e-commerce? Add a plugin. Want email? Add another. Marketing? Another.

No built-in marketing — Wix doesn’t make your goods scroll-stopping. You’re stuck in Canva or ads.

Time sink — Endless tweaking and configuring instead of selling.

Desktop-first — Made for websites, not mobile-native drops.

“Wix gave me a website, but I felt invisible. With Clued, my goods actually got seen by my community and I made sales.”
