Squarespace vs Wix
A side by side look at reach, regional footprint and where each cms technology actually wins, built from live detections across millions of websites.
The short version. Wix has roughly 2835x more sites overall (915 vs 2.6M). But the split flips by market: Squarespace over-indexes in Germany, Australia and Portugal, while Wix runs the majority in Austria, Japan and Israel. Which one fits depends far more on your market than on raw totals.
