you are so very correct, all these limits are as if they got pulled out of a excel sheet somewhere by someone that never used their platform. Wix had a profit of +800 million last year, I find this level of greedy micro picking limiting such a strange thing to do for them. I litterly sell the “buy it, build it and forget it” i cant do this with these plans. you constantly have to make sure if you now need to “upgrade”
The collection item limits are so absurdly strange and will have any developer look negatively on wix. we all know 1 thing “storage is cheap, CDN is where the cost is”. Which is why ive always been impressed with wix prices.
Also the Backend virtual container limit worries me, cause what happens then if you break that limit ? “oh sorry you need to upgrade so now I just break everything” Unless i understand this limit wrong it takes the advantage of cloud hosting and throws it out the door. Lets say i have a plus plan and if I get a surge of traffic because i just launched a sale I send to the whole world via marketing so i have users logging in needing backend container to handle custom developed payment flow from NA/EU/Middle east
one of those regions would be throttled because the two other is already using backend containers ? It does not say per server, its written as if its in total.
Also just as a extra thing, ive build chron jobs before. the limits put on scheduled jobs before was a case of “why … this is clearly something they just decided and now its a thing” but now they are actually taking it and making it a cost limitation also. Chron jobs are not hard or expensive to have running. Clearly a case of limitation for profit.
I say it again, i can sell WIX at what ever price they need to have a healthy profit and give a good service. i cant sell wix with arbitrary limitations and bad unstable service with bad customer support.
