It feels like wix is quickly losing the market

Elementor pricing with hosting

Is it just me or is wix quickly losing the fight.
Support is worst in the industry, their development is never completed fully with absurd things never being fixed (anyone feeling this is untrue, add a iframe to a site and explain to me why that box is still like that), even blocks which they now want to launch a full marketplace ive heard of several critical bugs that have existed for months. and thats without the extreme issue of having 3 editors being live at same time and their customers not understanding what the differences are.

In meantime they are selling people on AI, putting more restrictions and charging higher prices constantly. but they are struggling to actually make it unique enough and their competitors are doing the exact same thing (elementor also have a AI designer in alpha). I do not care about the price is higher as long as the service we get is not leaving anything to question, but it has not for over a year now and in meantime well established CMS builders like elementor now also start selling all in one plans, with cloud based hosting cheaper and set up on a WordPress sites removing the closed market issue of WIX.
Its also removing a bunch of the limitations (and fake limitations) that WIX is making. At this point the only reason i see anyone needing actual developer to not buy elementor hosting instead of new studio plan offerings would be the the bandwidth limit but even then. 50GB/Month for biggest package with no real other limits and another $100 a month to the new studio package for SEO plugins, woocommerce, already easy existing features like (animation text … as what they just presented at the studio launch) etc on wordpress is an extreme budget every month.

3 years ago i went WIX fulltime but now If WIX does not soon stop and actually start fixing the issues instead of using buzz words and leaving things in broken stages. I see a future where they will lose their market share again and I will have to go back to being a WordPress developer cause I can’t sell the product as a “advantage” compared to the market anymore.
