Wix vs Blogger – Which Is The Best Platform For Blogging? (2024)

Google’s Blogger (BlogSpot) vs Wix Blog has been searched by many people in 2022, because people are confused about which one to choose.

Wix blog shows you blogging features whenever you need them. So, you don’t see all the option always.

For example, when you select the text or image or video, the Wix editor shows you all the options just above the selected element. So you don’t need to move your cursor. It makes easy & quick writing. The Wix blog editor may help you stay focused on blogging, while at the same time providing you with more features.

Blogger/Blogspot is a basic editor.  You have to move your cursor / mouse every time to get the options.

Blogger & Wix blogs are completely different. Wix Blogs focus on the latest professional business blogs to personal blogs, photography blogs, fashion blogs, music blogs, food & travel blogs, artists’ blogs, portfolio related & SEO friendly blogs. However, Blogger is just a basic blogging platform.

Wix blog is better than Blogger, even though your goal is just writing and publishing. There is no extra SEO benefit of using Google’s Blogger. You can add your Blogger site or any Blogger pages on your Wix website, but you can’t add the Wix site on Blogger. So, the clear winner is Wix. This is because you will get all the Blogger features as well as Wix features on Wix but you will not get Wix features on Blogger.

You can make money with Wix Blog as as easy as Blogger. Google AdSense approve rate is better for Wix blog than Blogger. Because those who create blogs on Wix are matured and serious than the Blogger users. In addition, there are many ways to generate income on Wix Blog using Wix ecommerce features.

The Blogger homepage looks great, but when you go inside, you just get a basic editor & you can’t get Wix type of page design.

Now, Let’s Compare Them Head To Head

All Essential Blogging FeaturesNo
Blogger even failed to show basic blog backbone features. There is no SEO setting. No Review or Rating elements, No share buttons. If you want to add share buttons, then you need to register from a third-party service, get the code, then insert. Sometimes those don't work well with Blogger like mobile issues or overlapping with contents, not showing at all etc. There is a lot of drawbacks. They stopped the development. Blogger/BlogSpot may soon shutdown just like Google plus.
Trust100%
Wix has a proven record of its trustworthy. Money back immediately with no question asked. Protected its customers from Google de-index issues. It gives all its tools for free trial for unlimited time. Complete freedom. Website restoration even you forget to renew. 24x7 Dedicated support with different languages.
0%,
No support, no money back, no updates from the past 8 years!
Google completely ignores Blogger/Blogspot. Because Blogger is negligible in front of its Google ad revenue. Today I am about to publish this post, So searched Blogger. Guess What I got? Here Today I got this news.
Blogspot domain expired
Usually, big companies renew for 10 years or set it automatic renewal payments. But Blogspot forgot to renew the domain that millions of bloggers depend on! Why Google forgot Because it is free and does not generate any revenue. So, we give trust score 0% . People treat Google like God!, But they don't know it is running with people just like you. But they may little intelligent than you in maths. Wix may little bit costly, But it is safe. Wix proved it in the recent Google search deindex issues & protected its customers from Google's mistakes.
Free Domain Name
You can get premium domain names like .com, .org, .net and many more for free.
No
You need to connect from external service. Blogger recommend Google domain, but they are different companies (Yes. Even it is owned by Google, they operate as a different companies) and they don't give you for free. Google domain settings also difficult for beginners.
Ease of UseAdd blog element to any page or any location. Once you added, then you don't need to add it every time. Whenever you post, the blogs will appear there according to your setting, layout option etc.
add Wix blog to page
Click on the blogs, then you see "manage blogs" click to post new blogs or change settings.
Wix blog manage ease of use
blogger post navigation ease of use

Conclusion: In the beginning, Blogger is simple and looks easy. But in Wix once you added the blog element, then you will realize Wix is as easy as the Blogger with Also Wix gives you 100% freedom. You can add your blogs anywhere any pages, any location with any type of layouts, settings, subscription box and lots of settings while in Blogger 0% freedom, no options & no elements.
Ease Of Use ConclusionOnce you added the blog on Wix, then it is just as easy as Blogger. So there is no clear winner

You can't add Wix on your Blooger. So here the clear winner is Wix.
Blog Editor WinnerHere anyone can see the clear winner is Wix
Blog & Website OptionsIf your purpose is just writing only, then once you added the blog element, go to dashboard -> click blog menu. Edit or post new blogs there only. If you want to change your blog layout or settings,then go to "site action" -> "Edit site"
So you can use Wix as Blogger as well as website builder.

SEO(People say SEO doesn't work, but Google itself recommends basic SEO settings So that it can easily understand your web page. However, SEO settings don't boost Google ranks unless you don't get enough shares, backlinks and positive user interactions. But If you got all these things then don't make basic SEO settings and it may cause a little negative effect. Also, Wix offers amazing design and user-friendly functionalities. It will increase user spending time, interactions, reduces bounce back and a lot of positive interactions. So Wix boosts your blog SEO directly as well as indirectly.)
1. Latest SEO
2. Separate SEO manager Dashboard.
3. Inbuilt SEO features for individual blog posts.

Wix is growing faster than any other website platform. Its revenue, Stocks, as well as user base growing like an exponential curve. Already 180 Million people using Wix. Even Google Sites itself recommend Wix!, but not Blogger!
!!!
Blogger doesn't have review & rating rich snippet or even it doesn't include basic SEO settings like meta descriptions. Because Blogger only focused on Hobby bloggers who don't want visitors & just who writes for themselves.

Google's Blogger extra SEO benefit is a BIG misconception. Most of the people think the Blogger got some SEO benefits Because it is Google's company. In fact, the Blogger can make a negative effect on SEO both directly & indirectly, because of its limited & very old basic functions you may not able to increase users spending time on your page. If user spending time decreases, then your SEO rank will reduce. There are so many bloggers who got lots of visitors after changing their blogging platform from Blogger (Including Me!). Blogger is completely independent and isolated from the Google search team. Google is just a company and dominated on Search, but it doesn't mean all Google products are good. In 2020, Blogger is almost dead just like Google plus. You know Google plus is officially closed on 2nd April 2019 And some insider says Blogger may also soon shutdown.

  2. Thanks so much for such an in-depth article! I was on the fence between Wix and Blogger but you for sure sold me on Wix! Very much appreciated and I look forward to reading more of your articles!

  3. Hello there Jack,

    This is a very detailed article and as a fellow web designer, I can say you are absolutely right about the info that you’ve provided here. I’ve used wix in the past and absolutely loved it, I’d used a lot of different website builder tools and found Wix to be particularly simple yet offering much more options than any other tools.

  4. You cannot reply to comments on your Wix blog. They have been begged to change this for years. Three days in, I now have to find something else. VERY disappointed.

    Reply
    • Hi Jamie, You can Reply directly!.
      You can install comment apps from the Wix app store. There are several comment apps available for free. If you just drag & drop add the comment app bottom of your blog, then you can reply directly.

  5. Wix is definitely Winner,

    Editor is very easy to use, to create beautiful designs. There is a function that I really like, Synchronization with Google Calendar. With a little effort you can have a nice website very fast, and professional which is very important. And ultimately, the initial price to connect a domain is acceptable.

    Cheers,
